Besides the fact that listening to instrumental music composed for the flute, piano, guitar, violin and other instruments is incredibly enjoyable, practitioners have found that it can also have a tremendously positive impact on the mind, body and spirit.

Of late, the affect of instrumental songs on physical health and well-being has been particularly touted. “More and more doctors are now using music as part of their patients treatment to help them stay healthy and to recover more quickly from illness,” says Victoria Abreo, an alternative medicine specialist at BellaOnline. “Heart patients gained the same benefits from listening to 30 minutes of classical music as they did from taking 10 mg of the anti-anxiety medication Valium. Music and relaxation therapy have been used together to lower heart rate and blood pressure in patients with heart disease. Migraine sufferers were trained to use music, guided imagery, and relaxation technique to help reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of their headaches.”

At the James Medical Center at Ohio State University, surgeons are now using instrumental music to relax patients during surgery. On its Web Site, the Medical Center noted that both research and patient’s stories testify to the healing power of music. “Music has been shown to make the immune system stronger,” it says on the Web site. “The immune system helps to heal wounds.” The Medical Center also listed other benefits of listening to instrumental music including decreasing pain, nausea and vomiting and increasing the patient’s sense of control.

Besides the physical benefits, research has shown that listening to instrumental music also has a positive effect on the mind. “Students who listen to 10 minutes of Mozart prior to taking SATs had higher scores than students who weren’t exposed to the music. People who listened to light classical music for 90 minutes while editing manuscript increased accuracy by 21 percent,” says Abreo. Listening to instrumental music is recommended for people of all ages–even school children have reportedly benefited from it because hearing music stimulates the mind, enhances abstract reasoning skills and cognitive development.

Of course, you’ll want to listen to different types of instrumental music depending upon what whether you want to promote physical, mental or emotional health. For instance, to stimulate the mind you would choose a composition that charges you up–music that is moderately fast with high frequencies. An example would be Mozart’s violin concertos. To elevate your mood, you could listen to a piece of instrumental blues guitar, music that accesses our emotions, and to boost your imagination, you could tap your unconscious mind by first stimulating the body with upbeat instrumental music designed to spark the creative, right side of the brain. A perfect example of this would be work from the jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane.

Music has always been a great healer, says Abreo of BellaOnline.” Even in the Bible, we learn about how David played the harp to help ease the severe depression of King Saul. Most importantly, music is a successful therapy because almost everyone responds positively to at least some kind of music.” Listen to instrumental music today and experience its benefits for yourself.

Instrumental music especially composed for the piano, guitar, flute, violin and English horn, can be found Ez-Tracks.com. When it’s time to relax and rejuvenate, there’s no better way to unwind than to sing along to instrumental karaoke songs. They are the antidote for all that ails you.
