Sound Healing

Sound healing is a broad practice that uses sound — most commonly Tibetan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, and the human voice — for relaxation, meditation, and spiritual practice. It draws on traditions thousands of years old.

There is no clinical evidence base that sound healing treats any specific medical condition. There is substantial experiential and craft tradition behind the practice, and there are real psychoacoustic effects of sustained low-frequency sound on relaxation and parasympathetic state.

We rate sound healing at 5 on the Woo-Woo Meter: pure experiential and devotional practice. We list sound healing products honestly as what they are — beautiful instruments with real tradition behind them, not medical devices.
