Drumming for Health
"Joining a drumming circle may help reduce stress and improve immunity, according to preliminary research by neurologist Barry Bittman, M.D., director of the Mind-Body Wellness Center in Meadville, Pennsylvania. In this study, an hour-long drumming session featured activities involving humor, drumming to words and names, and guided imagery. Then doctors took blood samples from the participants, finding an increase in natural killer-cell activity and a reversal of the hormonal stress response. A control group who had listened passively showed no such changes. Next Bittman plans to study drumming's effects on cancer patients. For more information, contact www.amc-music.org/drumstudy."
