Art: Now Doctor-Approved
What if your next prescription wasn't for pills, but for painting, music, or a stroll through a gallery?
Across the globe, doctors are tapping into the healing power of creativity. It's called arts on prescription, and it’s not just a trendy idea. From museum tours in Montreal to music therapy in the UK, professionals are recommending artistic experiences to help patients manage stress, anxiety, and even chronic illness.
Why? Because making, viewing, and participating in art has real effects: lowered blood pressure, improved mood, and a sense of connection that no waiting room can offer. Whether it's drama classes or a quiet moment with a brush, creativity gives people space to breathe—and heal.
So if you're feeling overwhelmed, out of balance, or simply in need of inspiration... maybe it's time for a different kind of medicine.
