Sound healing describes a form of therapy that employs sound vibrations to reduce stress, improve relaxation, and enhance general well-being (Chen et al., 2023). Sound healing is grounded on the notion that particular frequencies and sounds can positively impact the body, mind, and spirit. The above therapy has been in practice for several centuries in different traditions and cultures, including societies like the Greeks, Egyptians, and indigenous communities. The primary tools employed in sound healing include multiple sound-producing tools. The first is tuning forks, which are metallic tools that generate certain frequencies when hit, generating a resonating sound assumed to restore body balance and harmony. The second is crystal singing bowls. The above are quartz crystal bowls that make clear and pure tones when struck (Manolis, 2022). Every bowl is linked to a different energy center in the body. 

            Another instrument used in sound healing is the drum.  Rhythmic drumming can create a trance-like state and help relieve stress and emotional distress. Further, gongs too are used in sound healing. Gongs are large metallic disks that generate deep and reverberating sounds when hit (Manolis, 2022). The above sounds are believed to foster strong vibrations that enable healing and relaxation. The last instrument comprises didgeridoos, flutes, and other traditional tools. The instruments mentioned above can be employed to generate meditative and relaxing sounds in the course of healing therapy sessions. 

            During sound healing sessions, practitioners use or play the instruments discussed above around the patient, letting the frequencies and vibrations permeate their bodies and energy centers. The belief is that the vibrations and sound can assist in balancing and aligning the energy fields of the body, which in turn can improve relaxation and healing (Chen et al., 2023). In recent years, sound healing has been constantly becoming popular in numerous healthcare settings, including hospitals such as Harvard and Stanford. Over the years, various hospitals and medical facilities have expanded their patient care approach by incorporating integrative and alternative medicine programs, including sound healing.
