Physics, Not Mysticism.
Sound therapy is an emerging clinical modality burdened by pseudoscientific claims. We index peer-reviewed mechanisms of mechanotransduction, EEG entrainment, and vagal tone modulation.
Read the Clinical EvidenceThe Core Mechanisms
Sound and frequency interventions work through two primary biological pathways. Neither involve aligning chakras or "healing frequencies."
1. Mechanotransduction
Low-frequency sound (20-100Hz) applied directly to the body via tactile transducers converts mechanical cellular stress into biochemical signals, promoting vasodilation and altering pain perception.

Rhythmic auditory stimulation (like isochronic tones) can induce Frequency-Following Responses (FFR) in the brainstem, forcing cortical oscillations to synchronize with the external stimulus.

Evidence vs. Noise
"432 Hz heals DNA"
There is zero peer-reviewed evidence that 432Hz (a tuning standard) has biological superiority over 440Hz. It is an arbitrary musical convention.

MIT researchers have demonstrated that 40Hz auditory and visual stimulation reduces amyloid load in murine models via microglial activation.

Binaural beats require sustained listening (15+ mins) to induce measurable EEG changes, and effect sizes are often smaller than isochronic tones.
