Q2,Does Ehon have a healing effect?

The prefrontal cortex is a very large part, holding
about 30% of the cerebrum, and the frontal pole is
the foremost part of the prefrontal cortex.

The prefrontal cortex plays an important role in
"making human beings intelligent and rational", and controls memory, thinking and judgement.
It also has
an ability required for humans to live a human life.

The frontal pole shoulders self-consciousness that
turns consciousness on itself and an autobiographical reminiscence rethinking one's life.

Oxy-Hb is the combination of hemoglobin and oxygen contained in red blood cells.
Its official name is oxygenated hemoglobin.
In other words, the concentration of oxy-Hb is
the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood.
A decrease in the concentration of oxy-Hb indicates
a decrease in the frontal pole blood flow.
In fact, relaxation reduces the blood flow of
the frontal pole.
For example, the frontal pole blood flow decreases when listening to music.

In order wise, brain science has proven that storytelling of Ehon has the same relaxing effect as music.

It is common sense to do storytelling of Ehon when a child sleeps.
This also uses the healing effect of Ehon.

It is said that a relaxed mental state is good for sleeping well. Conversely, excitement or stress can prevent good sleep.
By relaxing the mind with the healing effect of Ehon, children who have difficulty in sleeping can quickly fall asleep.

At the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, there were also attempts to storytelling of Ehon along with music
to soften the hearts of the victims.

The power of Ehon is helping many people.
