There are two types of autonomic nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic.
When we are working or studying, the sympathetic nervous system is dominant, causing tension in the mind and body, while when we are eating or sleeping, the parasympathetic nervous system is active, causing relaxation.
When daily physical and mental stress and fatigue accumulate, the autonomic nervous system can become dysfunctional and difficult to recover from.
Music acts on the autonomic nervous system and has the effect of relieving mental and physical tension and fatigue.
It is believed that listening to this CD on a daily basis will help the autonomic nervous system function normally.
●Customer testimonials
My daily fatigue and the stress that had built up in my mind have been alleviated and I am now able to smile.
If you start listening from the first song, you will find yourself falling asleep quickly, and waking up the next morning feeling refreshed and ready to start the day.
I recommended it to a colleague at work who was suffering from insomnia, and he said it helped him sleep better.
It's gentler on the body than taking medicine, so I'd like to try other CDs as well.
The reason I bought this is that I have been suffering from facial paralysis due to stress for about two and a half years, which still continues to this day. When I listen to this CD, I feel as if my body is floating on a vast surface of water, and my hands gradually become warm, my strength relaxes, and before I know it, the twitching in my face has stopped.
I never get tired of listening to it every day. Thank you so much.
It made me feel relieved and cheerful. I also gave it as a gift to a friend who is studying for an exam!!

Teens/Female
I once listened to healing music while writing a report for university (distance learning) and found it helped me to work much more efficiently.
It helps me concentrate and makes me feel motivated.
I always wear it when I have to do household chores I don't like (like spring cleaning) to motivate myself.
I think healing is essential for housewives.
Chromogranin A in saliva is a substance that is widely distributed in the endocrine and nervous systems, and is detected in particularly high concentrations in the adrenal medulla and pituitary gland. It is released into saliva in response to stimulation of the autonomic nervous system.
In other words, measuring chromogranin A in saliva can be used to determine the level of autonomic nervous system activity.
A decrease in salivary chromogranin A levels is understood to indicate a reduction in stress.
The peripheral nervous system is divided into two types with different functions. One is the somatic nervous system, which controls the movement of body parts at will, and the other is the autonomic nervous system, which functions unconsciously and independently of human will.
The autonomic nervous system is further made up of two types: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system, which control the organs and tissues of the entire body.
When we become nervous, we experience our heart beating fast and sweating, because the sympathetic nervous system is dominant.
It also suppresses the secretion of digestive juices and stimulates mental activity.
On the other hand, when you are relaxed, the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant.
It reduces heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, etc., and helps to reduce energy consumption.
Conversely, the secretion of digestive juices is stimulated.
In this way, the autonomic nervous system works to maintain homeostasis by promoting or reducing sweating and digestive activity.
When the body is healthy, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems function in a balanced way like a seesaw, regulating bodily functions.
However, if the mental and physical stress continues for a long time, the balance of the autonomic nervous system is disrupted, causing various physical disorders. This is known as "autonomic nervous system disorder."
Autonomic nervous system disorders cause chronic fatigue and weakness without any apparent cause, and various problems appear in various organs of the body.
At the same time, mental symptoms such as feeling depressed, becoming inexplicably irritable, and feeling lethargic may appear (Table 1).
These ailments vary from person to person, and the symptoms are unstable and not consistent (= vague complaints).
Symptoms are similar in men and women, but the causes are distinct.
Women are prone to "autonomic nervous system disorders" due to the effects of a decline in female hormones during menopause, and symptoms such as hot flashes, flushing, tinnitus, headaches, and lower back pain are common.
Men also experience physical symptoms such as joint pain, muscle weakness, and increased lean body mass due to hormone decline, but rather than symptoms caused by hormone decline, the main symptoms appear to be mental and psychological symptoms such as depression, irritability, fatigue, anxiety, and lethargy due to psychosocial stress.
In healthy people, fatigue will recover within 2-3 days, but if it is fatigue caused by the autonomic nervous system, it will worsen over the course of the days, making you feel reluctant to do anything.
It is possible that hospital tests may not reveal any abnormalities, leaving you feeling depressed and irritated, or anxious that your actions are not going smoothly, which can make you feel even more depressed...this can lead to a vicious cycle.
It helps me concentrate and makes me feel motivated.
I always wear it when I have to do household chores I don't like (like spring cleaning) to motivate myself.

●Verification of "music that is gentle on the autonomic nervous system"
Profile of Mood States (POMS)
POMS is a psychological test that measures mood states using six scales, and is one of the tools used in the field of psychosomatic medicine to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
The six scales are "tension," "depression," "anger," "vigor," "fatigue," and "confusion."
We administered the POMS before and after listening to this CD and examined the changes that occurred in these six scales (Graphs 1 and 2).
![]()
Anger levels remained unchanged before and after the interview, but other items changed significantly.
After listening to the CD, people reported feeling less tense, less depressed, more energized, less tired, and less confused.

All items changed significantly.
After listening to the CD, people experience less tension, less depression, less anger, more energy, and less fatigue.
For women, the increase in vitality was more pronounced.

In other words, measuring chromogranin A in saliva can be used to determine the level of autonomic nervous system activity.
A decrease in salivary chromogranin A levels is understood to indicate a reduction in stress.
[Graph 1]
The level decreased from 3.7 pmol/mL before the test to 3.321 pmol/mL after the test.
This suggests that listening to this CD helped reduce mental and physical stress.

This suggests that listening to this CD helped reduce mental and physical stress.
[Graph 2]
Measurements were taken at three points: before, during, and after listening to the CD.
●Before interview: 5.297 pmol/mL ●During interview: 4.31 pmol/mL ●After interview: 1.975 pmol/mL
This gradually decreased, and after listening, the number dropped to less than half.
These results show that listening to the CD has a relaxing effect on both the body and mind.

●Mechanism of the autonomic nervous system
In our brain, the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem each process specialized information and communicate with each other to send commands to each organ in the body. The "central nervous system" located in the brain and spinal cord acts as a comprehensive command center, while the "peripheral nervous system" exchanges information with each organ in the body through nerve fibers.
The peripheral nervous system is divided into two types with different functions. One is the somatic nervous system, which controls the movement of body parts at will, and the other is the autonomic nervous system, which functions unconsciously and independently of human will.
The autonomic nervous system is further made up of two types: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system, which control the organs and tissues of the entire body.
When we become nervous, we experience our heart beating fast and sweating, because the sympathetic nervous system is dominant.
It also suppresses the secretion of digestive juices and stimulates mental activity.

5. CocoroThe place where the heart lives...
Have you shoved it away in a cold, dark room and forgotten about it?
Whether you're on a rush hour train or in the midst of a busy, stressful everyday life, your mind can choose where to live. You can even lie down on a tropical beach.
Imagine your heart living in paradise.

6. Warm MemoriesWhen we are feeling down, we tend to think only about unpleasant and negative things.
When that happens, try to remember the times when you had fun, were happy, and were happy.
Being grateful and thankful for all of that makes my heart warm.
The gentle and warm melody will make you feel calm. -
7. Door to TomorrowYou are strong.
No matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop, you can take one step forward. Don't be fooled, believe in your own strength and live your life... This is the wish that I put into this song.
