Solfeggio Frequencies · The Ancient Scale

Six tones.
Six intentions.

The Solfeggio frequencies are a six-note scale used in sacred music for centuries and studied in modern research for their effects on the nervous system, emotional regulation, and cellular biology. Each tone carries a specific resonance. Press play. Breathe. Let the body respond.

174 Hz
The Foundation Tone
The lowest Solfeggio tone. Associated with pain reduction and a deep sense of physical safety. Some research suggests it reduces cortisol response and promotes grounding.

285 Hz
The Tissue Tone
Thought to influence energy fields at the cellular level. Associated with accelerated healing of tissue. Used in integrative practices for post-surgical and recovery support.
Healing · Regeneration · Recovery

396 Hz
Liberation from Fear
Associated with releasing guilt, fear, and grief — the frequencies that embed in chronic stress and trauma. The tone of turning a corner.
Anxiety · Grief · Liberation

528 Hz
The Love Frequency
The most studied Solfeggio tone. Associated in laboratory studies with DNA repair, stress reduction, and a profound sense of inner peace. The frequency of transformation.

Connection & Harmony
The relational tone. Associated with harmonizing relationships, deepening empathy, and restoring communication. Used in practices addressing loneliness and social disconnection.

741 Hz
Awakening Intuition
The tone of clarity and self-expression. Associated with mental detoxification, problem-solving, and awakening inner knowing. The frequency that cuts through noise.

Guide your brain
to a different state

Two slightly different tones — one in each ear — create a third frequency inside the brain. The brain follows. This is entrainment: measurable, reproducible, studied. Use headphones for best effect.

The 40 Hz
discovery

In 2019, MIT researchers published findings that 40 Hz light and sound — gamma frequency — reduced amyloid plaques and tau proteins in mouse models of Alzheimer's. Human trials followed, showing improvements in memory, attention, and brain connectivity. The research is ongoing. The implications are profound. And 40 Hz audio is accessible to anyone.

"We have never had a drug that does what 40 Hz sensory stimulation appears to do in the brain. The question is no longer whether this works — it is how to make it available to everyone who needs it."

The tracks below are designed for use with people living with dementia — at home, in memory care, or during caregiver visits. They are gentle, non-startling, and designed for passive listening. The 40 Hz tracks use monaural encoding and do not require headphones.
