The Health Benefits
of Celtic Music!
New studies suggest that music can be more powerful than medication. If you have listened to some of our
Celtic Music channels over the years, you might have noticed that you are more relaxed while listening to
Celtic Moon; or perhaps more productive while listening to Highlander Radio throughout your work day.
You might sense that the Celtic music makes you feel better somehow or you might find your memory improving, but only recently have scientist begun to figure out the reasons why.
"Neuroscientists have discovered that listening to music heightens positive emotion through the reward centers of our brain, stimulating hits of dopamine that can make us feel good, or even elated. Listening to music also lights up other areas of the brain—in fact, almost no brain center is left untouched—suggesting more widespread effects and potential uses for music.
Music’s neurological reach, and its historic role in healing and cultural rituals, has led researchers to consider ways music may improve our health and wellbeing. In particular, researchers have looked for applications in health-care—for example, helping patients during post-surgery recovery or improving outcomes for people with Alzheimer’s. In some cases, music’s positive impacts on health have been more powerful than medication."
Based on neurological research, we have identified 10 ways that Celtic music could to impact our health and wellbeing."
