From "10 Health Benefits of Drumming" By: Christiane Northrup, M.D.

“Drumming can have positive effects on your health and may help with many conditions from stress, fatigue, and anxiety, to hypertension, asthma, chronic pain, arthritis, mental illness, addiction, and even cancer.”

10 Health Reasons to Start Drumming:

1. Makes you happy. Releases endorphins, which are associated with general feelings of well-being and euphoria.
2. Induces deep relaxation. In one study, blood samples from participants who participated in an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal in stress hormones.
3. Helps control chronic pain. Drumming promotes the production of endogenous opiates, which are the body’s own morphine-like painkillers.
4. Boosts your immune system. Studies have shown that group drumming actually increases natural T-cells!
5. Creates a sense of connectedness. Group drumming classes provide an opportunity for “synchronicity”, through connecting with other like-minded people.
6. Aligns your body and mind with the natural world. Drumming allows you to flow with the rhythms of life by simply feeling the beat.
7. Provides a way to access a higher power. Shamans often use drumming as a means to integrate mind, body and spirit.
8. Releases negative feelings. The act of drumming can serve as a form of self-expression. You can literally drum out your feelings.
9. Puts you in the present moment. When you are flowing with the rhythm of drumming you cannot be caught up in your past or worrying about your future.
10. Allows for personal transformation. Drumming stimulates creative expression. When you drum in a group, you not only get to self-express, but you get feedback from the other drummers.
