The Ancient Greeks viewed music not only as an art form, but also as a sort of medicine with significant healing powers. I believe in a similar theory. Music can help heal, but not on the biological or chemical level. Playing and listening to music can both have a profound effect on someone, simply by making he or she feel better. Music provides an escape, a corridor for optimism. Music therapy may have more impact for psychological diseases, rather than sicknesses associated with blood or muscles. The sound of music gives a new wave or new thoughts for the brain to deal with. It can carry someone away from whatever might be making their life not so good.
