Join us as we explore the top spas in the world and best wellness retreats offering sound therapy, otherwise known as sound healing or sound medicine. This ancient practice first originated in Asia over 40,000 years ago, and as the healing powers of sound therapy become more widespread, we’re seeing a surge in popularity for this unique and fascinating form of medicine, especially across western cultures.
The potential health benefits of sound therapy are quite profound, it’s now well understood that this practice helps with reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and is a form of pain relief. It also lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, therefore reducing the risk of heart disease or stroke, and finally, is known to improve sleep quality, memory, and overall well-being.
