Links to Research Regarding the Benefits of Sound for Relaxation

​Gentle Elemental strives to use methods based on research in developing its programming. Hundreds of studies show the relationship between music/nature/gentle sounds in some capacity for stress reduction, pain management, or healing (from injury, trauma, etc.).

We will add to this list, but here are a few to get started.

If you'd like to find more articles, don't just "Google" it. Go to 
Google Scholar to find scholarly literature from peer-reviewed journals--or use something similar.

As you can imagine, there are thousands of websites touting the "healing" effects of a stone, instrument, etc. But most of these sites are trying to sell a product.

For more accurate information, always choose scholarly literature.
