關於療癒聲

A Swedish study has shown that participants who listened to natural sounds after undergoing a stress test recovered from physiological stress significantly faster than those who listened to noise. The findings of this research not only provide profound insights into the impact of natural sounds on mental health but also highlight a natural and effective way to relieve stress in the fast-paced modern lifestyle.

This may reflect the deep connection we have with the natural environment and the healing power of natural sounds on the human mind. By listening to the sounds of birds and flowing water, participants' sympathetic nervous systems recovered more quickly, allowing them to regain inner peace and recover from stress in a shorter time.

A research team led by Colorado State University in the United States has shown that natural sounds can help people relieve stress. Evidence of the health benefits of natural sounds includes reduced pain, decreased stress, improved mood, and enhanced cognitive abilities. Compared to those exposed to noise, testers who were surrounded by natural sounds experienced an overall improvement of 184% in health and positive emotions, while stress and annoyance decreased by 28%.

Natural sounds are beneficial for both physical and mental health, not only reducing stress but also aiding sleep. When a room is too quiet, even the slightest irregular noise can trigger the brain's alertness, leading to light sleep and easy waking. The steady and rhythmic nature of natural sounds helps us fall asleep faster and makes it less likely for us to be disturbed. If you often struggle to fall asleep, why not try using the healing power of nature to soothe your mind and improve your sleep?
