Report by Shoyb Hossain: The tragic crash of a training aircraft at Milestone College in Uttara not only caused immediate fatalities and physical injuries but also left a long-lasting psychological impact and increased health risks. Many students, teachers, staff, and local residents remain mentally distressed. Those who were present at the time of the incident, or witnessed it directly, are now experiencing symptoms such as sleep disturbances, nightmares, restlessness, loss of appetite, and anxiety.
Research shows that, alongside conventional medical care, supportive and alternative therapies—particularly natural and science-based sound, music, rhythm, and frequency therapies—can help reduce long-term health risks if introduced promptly.
Effective Natural and Alternative Therapies
1. Rhythmic Therapy
Description: Producing therapeutic rhythms using instruments such as wooden blocks, bamboo flutes, metal plates, ghungroo, ektara, daf, tabla, and traditional drums to create positive vibrations within the body.
Origin & Recognition: Practiced in African and ancient Asian cultures; recognized by some European universities and music therapy institutes.
Application: 15–30 minutes per day, 3–5 times a week.
Benefits: Effective for trauma, sleep disorders, nervous weakness, ADHD, and PTSD.
2. Sound Bath Therapy
Description: Immersing the body and mind in specific sound frequencies produced by large speakers or special bowls (Singing Bowls, Crystal Bowls).
Origin & Recognition: Popular in Tibet, Nepal, and Western countries; researched by the Mindfulness Institute and NIH.
Application: 20 minutes per day, 3–4 times a week.
Benefits: Improves concentration, mental calmness, confidence, and physical balance.
3. Frequency Therapy
Description: Using specific sound frequencies (Hz) to stimulate healing—e.g., 528 Hz for DNA repair, 432 Hz for mental peace.
Tools/Apps: Solfeggio Frequencies, VAT apps, Soaak, Free Frequency Generator.
Application: 15–20 minutes per day; best experienced through large speakers rather than earphones.

Origin: Used for centuries by Buddhist monks.
Application: 10–15 minutes per day; individual or group sessions.
Benefits: Relief from migraines, insomnia, and depression.
5. Healing Through Music
Description: Listening to specific forms of music or songs regularly—such as calming tunes, devotional songs, mantras, recitations, or instrumental music.
Beneficial Types: Classical music, raga-based songs, “Om” chants, Sufi music, and other therapeutic compositions.
Application: 30 minutes daily, preferably before or after study or work.
Benefits: Improves memory, focus, and emotional well-being.

Creating a Supportive Healing Environment
At Home: Encourage a peaceful and joyful family environment.
At School: Set up group therapy sessions or therapy rooms; organize awareness workshops for teachers, parents, and even interested community members.
Technology: Use accessible mobile apps such as “Soaak,” “Solfeggio Frequencies,” “Brain FM,” and “VAT Therapy” to easily start these therapies.
Precaution
While these therapies are scientifically supported and risk-free, they are still relatively new in Bangladesh. Proper introduction and guidance under trained professionals will greatly enhance their acceptance and effectiveness.
🇧🇩 Making It Accessible in Bangladesh
Engage trained music therapists, researchers, vocalists, and instrumentalists.
Conduct public sessions through NGOs, CSR programs, and schools.
Promote natural rhythmic therapy using local or self-made percussion instruments.
Include these methods in government and private mental health initiatives with proper funding.
Conclusion
Recovering from the grief and trauma of such a disaster requires more than medical treatment—awareness and supportive therapies are equally essential. If these natural and effective methods are made popular now, many people in the future can be saved from invisible or unforeseen natural and man-made disasters.
