A Hungarian doctor is advising her lung disease patients to consider a non-traditional form of treatment: singing! And not just singing while making dinner or washing up at night. As part of their treatment, she wants her patients to sing in public as part of a choir! The Reuters news agency reports that the “Breathing for the Soul” choir was formed earlier this year. The group recently performed in the ballroom of a hotel in Budapest. The members of the choir come from hospitals all across Hungary. Many are sick with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, more commonly called COPD. Speaking with Reuters, the choir members explained how singing has improved the quality of their lives. Seventy-four-year old Maria Aranyi has been suffering with serious asthma, a breathing disorder, for over 10 years. Aranyi said that she never thought in her life that she would ever sing. But now, singing in the choir provides relief from what she calls the “gray days.”
