From training in the gym to methods such as Nada Yoga – music is an integral part of many fitness schemes. In addition to entertaining its fans, the music also has therapeutic properties, making it an effective way to maintain heart rate and blood pressure. In fact, the 2023 study published by the National Library of Medicine, which is considered the world’s largest biomedical library, suggested that “musical therapy can effectively control blood pressure and heart rate, reduce anxiety and depression and improve sleep quality in patients with hypertension.” On World Hypertension Day today (May 17) experts share how listening to musical or musical therapy can help keep blood pressure:
Remove anxiety/stress
Listening of music can help ease the stress and anxiety, which are the main participants in high blood pressure.
Manages the heart rate
As you know, soft, heartfelt tunes, especially classical music (Indian or western), soothe the pulse. This, in turn, helps lower blood pressure.
Helps you relax
Like other relaxation methods, musical therapy can put you in a calm state, and this helps lower blood pressure.
Leads to more neurotransmitters
It is believed that listening to soft or classical music can increase the intensity of neurotransmitters, chemical messages that carry signals between neurons, and from neurons to other cells such as muscles or gland. This leads to a pleasant feeling and a decrease in blood pressure.
Goes well with medicine
Musical therapy is known to be an effective addition to your permanent medicine associated with high blood pressure.
Raga is connected
There are some rags that are believed to play a role in maintaining hypertension. The Horner of Malkown (North Raga) and Todi’s Horga (Morning Horner), which are ancient classic Hindus horns, help meditation and show a positive effect on hypertension.
