So why not indulge yourself in a little plant music therapy! - simply dim the lights, light some candles and incense and play some organic music from healing herbs and plants to create a relaxing and reviving environment in the home or in the bath.
Every society, every culture, world wide has used herbs and medicinal plants. They have been used to heal the body and spirit, in religious ceremonies and to communicate with the Gods. Music is also vital in the cultural heritage of every society and has the capacity to affect us on all levels - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Computer generated note sequences, from plant proteins isolated from common herbs and medicinal plants, have been arranged by Dr. Linda Long to create complex 'multi-dimensional' musical pieces which contain sequences describing both the secondary and tertiary features of the individual plant proteins. In some cases the proteins are specific to the original plant, while others are found in a wide variety of plants.
