"Exploring Sound Baths and Alternative Healing for Anxiety Relief"

Sound baths, a popular relaxation technique, utilize music and sound to induce feelings of relaxation and reduce stress. Participants lay down and listen to instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, and bells, focusing on feeling the vibrations throughout the body. While not a medical therapy, studies have shown that sound baths can reduce tension, anxiety, depression, and anger, as well as potentially decrease physical pain and cortisol levels. However, they may not be suitable for individuals with extreme sensitivity to sound.
