As the philosophy of Ayurveda states, everything in our world has a unique personal vibration.
All matter animate and inanimate has this distinct personal vibration different from all matter.
Only when there is an uninterrupted and free flow of this energy within a person is that individual in good health.
When there are disturbances in the flow, this causes illness within the person.
In our current world, which is full of potential health hazards, brought about by our contaminated environment, poor eating habits, bad lifestyle choices, and high stress jobs, it would be extremely complicated to find an individual with a harmonious and free flow of energy within.
The minds and bodies of most people today are in a state of imbalance because of this situation.
Ayurveda wants to restore the balance of the energy flow within a person and thus bring on a state of health homeostasis.
Ayurvedic medicine uses ragas or Raga to create the melodies of healing music.
Tones of the Raga are both sharper and flatter than the tones in western scales.
The Raga is an Indian mode of music that is defined as that which colors the mind.
This music has spiritual connections which western sound does not.
Ragas are believed to have good therapeutic effects on a lot of diseases including pain, insomnia, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and even aging.
Ayurvedic music has been proven to control hypertension and liver function.

These vibrations can change the consciousness of the individual in a positive way thereby restoring lost health.
Music has been known to improve efficiency and concentration during extended periods of work.

Music also manages negative emotions like anger, anxiety, and worry.
