Healing frequencies are a type of sound wave therapy to induce a state of ease and harmony in the body. Different frequencies of sound can have a different effect on human brain activity.

An Italian Benedictine monk named Guido of Arezzo was looking for ways to teach melodies and harmonies to monastic choirs. He came up with “ut re mi fa sol la” to help express a musical scale, which eventually turned into what we now know as “do re mi fa so la ti do” (introduced in the 19th century).

Solfeggio is based on the word solfège, the name for this notation method of teaching pitch and sight singing. The solfeggio frequencies are part of this six-tone scale and can be heard in the famous Gregorian Chants. And, interestingly enough, research suggests that singing these ancient chants relieves fatigue and alleviates depression.
