More and more hospitals are 'treating' or 'healing' patients with music as an alternative medicine. Granted some sick people just want peace and quiet and to be left alone, but the alternative medicine theory is that music can help some heal faster. Alternative medicine studies have proven this healing power and have even shown a drop in stress levels on a patient's heart monitor and blood pressure. Music as alternative medicine therapy is all about focusing on something else, to help reduce stress and pain, to calm a patient and help them relax. Next time you're sick at home, why not pop in some Mozart or Bach and see how it makes you feel.
