Have you heard?

Plant Music Therapy™

Teresa Helgeson discovered Plant Music Therapy™ in 2007 while visiting the Federation of Damanhur. In an interview with VoyageDenver, Helgeson describes the first time she heard plant music:

"It literally sounded like angels singing so I asked our guide what the name of the CD was so I could purchase it at the gift shop. She took me out onto the porch and showed me this little houseplant that was connected to all this equipment and it was the plant that was playing the music I had been hearing."

But honestly, you have to hear it for yourself to believe it..

Helgeson has been passionate about sharing this biofeedback device with the world ever since and has pioneered much of the research on healing nature of plant songs.

Watch her describe the device in this short clip:

Her website Plant Music Therapy™ states:

"We are the only company in the world who has researched the healing benefits of plant music and offer 100% whole plant music remedies for the body, mind and spirit based on our research. We exist to be a catalyst for health through nature’s wisdom."

Their flagship device is the Bamboo M includes MIDI output via USB.

A Growing Market

However, they aren't the only company to engineer a product based on the idea of translating the vibratory emissions from plants into sound.

PlantWave

Another team at PlantWave has created a similar device.Their website PlantWave.com explains the science like this:

"PlantWave makes use of tools that have been around for more than a century and amplifies their power through digital and mobile technology. The circuitry used in PlantWave is the same as that which is used in a lie detector. It's called a psychogalvanometer and it measures galvanic resistance over time."

PlantWave sonification technology is available for $299.

PLANTChoir™

Another company, PLANTChoir™ has a similar device which was developed by Founder and CEO James Brown. Interestingly, James was also the past president of one of the worlds leading polygraph companies, Limestone Technologies Inc.

Uniquely, PLANTChoir™ allows you to customize your listening experience, letting you choose from between 40 instruments or themes, and mixing 8 musical scales.

PLANTChoir™ is available for $149

Of course, you don't have to buy a device and hook it up to your own plants, even though it is really tempting.. You can listen to plant songs for free on YouTube.

Here are a few of my favorites:
