Dr. Will Cole, DNM, IFMCP, DC is a leading functional medicine expert. He participates in, and recommends, sound baths to his clients citing these five benefits:
1. Sound baths calm your nervous system. Using various instruments such as a gong, large crystal bowls, Tibetan metal singing bowls and more, creates healing frequencies in the body. "Every sound we hear with our ears emits a specific frequency and some frequencies have been shown to guide the brain into a theta state, which is well-known to induce a state of calm and relaxation. In fact, it’s the same type of state that is induced by meditation," he says.
2. Sound baths require minimal effort. You just have to show up. Compare that to researching out herbs and special diets, all of which take time and can become become expensive.
3. Sound baths reduce pain. Dr. Cole recommends sound baths to many of his clients but especially those with chronic pain because "Studies have shown that certain sound frequencies can help reduce pain."
4. Sound baths foster a sense of community. "I remember the first time I laid down with my pillow, surrounded by others, and experienced my first sound bath. There’s something magical about experiencing something like that with other humans, who are also being put into a similar state of relaxation, which only seems to amplify your own benefits."
5. Sound baths make you happier and more energetic. He notes that various studies show that sound baths alleviate depression because the music prompts the brain to release dopamine, a brain neurotransmitter which improves mood.
