What is frequency therapy?

Frequency therapy uses specific sound tones (measured in Hz) to influence brainwave patterns through brainwave entrainment. Different frequencies promote different states — delta (1-4 Hz) for deep sleep, theta (4-8 Hz) for meditation, alpha (8-14 Hz) for relaxation, and gamma (30-100 Hz) for focus.

Are binaural beats scientifically proven?

Brainwave entrainment — the brain synchronizing to external audio stimuli — is well-documented in auditory neuroscience since the 1970s via EEG studies. The Frequency Following Response (FFR) is consistently replicated. Research continues on specific therapeutic applications.

What frequency helps with anxiety?

432 Hz is the most commonly studied frequency for anxiety. Research suggests it may activate the parasympathetic nervous system and promote calm. Freqium offers a free 432 Hz session.

What is the best frequency for sleep?

Delta frequencies (0.5-4 Hz), particularly 1.5 Hz, are associated with deep sleep. The Schumann resonance (7.83 Hz) may support circadian rhythm regulation. Freqium's Deep Sleep Protocol combines both.

Do I need headphones for frequency therapy?

Yes, quality headphones are recommended, especially for binaural beats which require different tones in each ear. Over-ear headphones provide the best results.

Freqium offers 2 frequencies free with 5-minute sessions, no account needed. Full access to all 23 frequencies starts at $10/month with the annual plan.

What are healing frequencies?

Healing frequencies are specific sound tones (measured in Hz) that research suggests can influence brainwave patterns through a process called brainwave entrainment. Different frequencies target different states — delta waves (1-4 Hz) promote deep sleep, theta waves (4-8 Hz) aid meditation, alpha waves (8-14 Hz) enhance relaxation, and gamma waves (30-100 Hz) support focus and cognition.

What is the difference between binaural beats and solfeggio frequencies?

Binaural beats play two slightly different tones in each ear, creating a perceived frequency difference that encourages brainwave entrainment. Solfeggio frequencies are specific single tones (174 Hz, 396 Hz, 432 Hz, 528 Hz, etc.) from an ancient musical scale believed to have therapeutic properties. Freqium uses both approaches depending on the target frequency.

Which frequency is best for anxiety?

432 Hz is the most researched frequency for anxiety relief. Studies suggest it activates the parasympathetic nervous system and reduces cortisol. Freqium offers a free 432 Hz Anxiety Liberation session with guided breathing.

Are frequency therapy sessions free?

Freqium offers 2 frequencies completely free with 5-minute preview sessions. No account required. Full access to all 23 frequencies with unlimited session length starts at $10/month (annual plan).

What is 14 Hz frequency used for?

The 14 Hz frequency (Dopamine & Motivation) is used for motivation support, self-care routines, morning energy practice. Beta frequency associated with motivation, drive, and an uplifting sense of focus and energy

Is 14 Hz safe to listen to?

14 Hz is generally safe for most adults when used with headphones at moderate volume. Precautions: Consult your healthcare provider if you have bipolar disorder (manic phase).

What is the 14 Hz frequency?

Research suggests that beta-range frequencies (12-30 Hz) are associated with alert, focused mental states. Studies on auditory stimulation in the beta range indicate potential effects on mood and motivation. While specific research on 14 Hz is limited, the broader field of sound wellness research suggests that beta frequencies may support an energized and focused mental state.

Mechanism of Action

The science behind 14 Hz

Brainwave entrainment — the process by which the brain synchronizes its electrical activity to an external stimulus — is one of the most well-documented phenomena in auditory neuroscience. When you listen to 14 Hz, your brain's neural oscillations begin to match that frequency through the Frequency Following Response (FFR).

This isn't speculation. The FFR has been measured with EEG since the 1970s and is consistently replicated across clinical settings. What varies between frequencies is which neural circuits are most affected — and that's where the specificity of 14 Hz matters.

How to use Dopamine & Motivation

Recommended Dosage

20-30 minutes morning use, avoid evening application to prevent sleep disruption. Individual experiences may vary

🎧

Use headphones

Over-ear for best entrainment. The frequency must reach both ears directly.

🧘

Find a quiet space

External noise competes with the frequency. A calm environment amplifies the effect.

📅

Be consistent

Daily use for 2+ weeks produces measurable results. Your brain adapts and responds faster over time.

Safety information

Frequency therapy is generally considered safe for most adults. However, certain conditions require caution. Consult a healthcare professional before use if any of the following apply:

A True Story That Will Surprise You

When Science Listens to Sound

2017San Diego, California

Dr. Tamara Goldsby

Researcher, Department of Family Medicine · University of California San Diego

“After just one sound meditation session, participants showed significant reductions in tension, anxiety, fatigue, and depressed mood. The effects were immediate and measurable.”

In 2017, researchers at UC San Diego conducted one of the largest studies on sound therapy to date. Dr. Tamara Goldsby recruited 62 participants and measured their physical and emotional state before and after a single one-hour sound meditation using Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, and bells — instruments that generate specific therapeutic frequencies.

The results, published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine, showed statistically significant reductions across every measure: tension dropped, anger decreased, anxiety fell, fatigue diminished, and depressed mood lifted. All from a single session.

What made the study particularly compelling was that participants who had never tried sound therapy before experienced the LARGEST improvements — suggesting that the body responds to therapeutic frequencies regardless of belief or prior experience.

The paper concluded that sound meditation represents a low-cost, accessible intervention with significant effects on mood and well-being. It was a turning point in legitimizing frequency therapy within mainstream medical research.
