Water cures and exercise aid nervous patients says Dr Bissinger
The article notes that water and air cures along with respiratory and muscular exercises help nervous disorders. In advanced stages passive massage may assist.

Melody is key to music, rooted in tetrachord theory and natural speech, per Exchange.
