" Music can regulate stress-realtes hormones.
Anesthesiologists report that the level of stress hormones in the blood declines significantly in those listening to relaxing ambient music - in some cases replacing the need for medication. These hormones include adrenocorticotrophic (ACTH), prolactic, and human growth (HGH) hormone. Political leaders, trial lawyers, surgeons, moms, and other people who operate under great stress intuitively sense the powers of music to calm and relax.
