Solfeggio frequencies have been used in music therapy and sound healing because they are believed to have positive effects on the human body, including reducing stress and anxiety, decreasing blood pressure, improving focus, and promoting overall health.
Despite their potential benefits, the use of Solfeggio Frequencies is often met with skepticism and criticism, with some dismissing them as pseudoscientific or new-age nonsense.
In this post, we will delve into the scientific research behind the effectiveness of Solfeggio Frequencies in music therapy and sound healing.
Scientific Basis and Research Behind Solfeggio Frequencies
According to proponents of Solfeggio Frequencies, each tone corresponds to specific sound waves that have a unique effect on the human body, mind, and spirit.
- 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
- 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
- 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
- 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
- 741 Hz – Expression/Solutions
- 852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order
The sound vibrations are believed to work by resonating with different parts of the body and promoting healing, relaxation, and spiritual well-being.
While the use of Solfeggio Frequencies is often associated with spirituality and alternative medicine, there has been some scientific research conducted on their effects.
A study by Sonya Joseph for the American College of Healthcare Sciences examined the effectiveness of sound healing, specifically the use of music therapy, electromagnetic sound frequencies, and Solfeggio sound science, in healing physical, generational, and emotional trauma.
The research explores the role of sound and music in mind-body mechanisms, consciousness, communication, and emotion and highlights the significance of archetypal sounds and symbols in the subconscious.
The study concludes that sound healing can be used successfully as therapy for PTSD, anxiety, and physical illness and that the use of solfeggio frequencies can be an effective tool for healing various ailments.
However, it’s important to note that the scientific research on Solfeggio Frequencies is limited, and some studies have produced mixed results.
More research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of Solfeggio Frequencies and how they work on the human body.
The Science of Solfeggio Frequencies
The human body comprises various systems operating at different frequencies, such as the heart, lungs, and brain.
These systems all have their unique frequencies, and when they are in a state of balance, the body is said to be in a state of health.
Sound and vibration have been shown to significantly affect the human body, and this is the basis for using Solfeggio Frequencies.
When specific frequencies are introduced to the body through sound, they are believed to resonate with different parts of the body and promote healing, relaxation, and spiritual well-being.
While the scientific research on the specific effects of Solfeggio Frequencies is limited, the use of sound and vibration for healing and relaxation has been well-studied.
For example, a study published by Gary Deng, MD, PhD., found that sound therapy, which uses sound and vibration to promote healing, was effective in reducing pain, anxiety, and depression in cancer patients.

Combining relaxing piano music with the Solfeggio frequencies corresponding to the seven Chakra’s, these tracks descends through the binaural beat frequencies to the theta waves ( 8hz to 4hz) to create the ultimate conditions for meditation.
Further Solfeggio Studies
Low-Frequency Sound Stimulation on Patients with Fibromyalgia
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of low-frequency sound stimulation (LFSS) on fibromyalgia (FM) patients.
The researchers administered 10 treatments of 23 minutes each, twice a week for five weeks, to 19 female volunteers with FM.
Measures were taken before and after the treatment, and results showed significant improvements in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, Jenkins Sleep Scale, Pain Disability Index, sitting and standing without pain, cervical muscle range of motion, and muscle tone.
The study concluded that LFSS treatment did not have adverse effects and showed relevant improvement, and further clinical trials are needed to verify the findings.
Effect of 528 Hz Music on the Endocrine System and Autonomic Nervous System
A study by Juntendo University, Tokyo, Japan, aimed to determine the effectiveness of low-frequency sound stimulation (LFSS) on fibromyalgia (FM) patients.
The researchers administered ten treatments of 23 minutes each, twice a week for five weeks, to 19 female volunteers with FM.
Measurements were taken before and after the treatment, and results showed significant improvements in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, Jenkins Sleep Scale, Pain Disability Index, sitting and standing without pain, cervical muscle range of motion, and muscle tone.
The study concluded that LFSS treatment did not have adverse effects and showed relevant improvement, and further clinical trials are needed to verify the findings.
The Effects of 528 Hz Sound Wave to Reduce Cell Death in Human Astrocyte Primary Cell Culture Treated with Ethanol
Another study on the effects of 528 Hz aimed to evaluate the impact of a non-invasive, non-pharmacological agent, sound waves with a frequency of 528 Hz, on human astrocyte primary cell culture treated with ethanol.
Results showed that at the IC50 of ethanol, the frequency of 528 Hz increased cells viability by about 20% and reduced the level of ROS production up to 100%.
The study highlights the potential of non-invasive agents in reducing the toxic effects of alcohol consumption on human tissues.
