Behind the Word

In Greek, Therapeuein, means “to cure, treat," (World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary, 1989); & therapeutikos or therapeutes mean “one ministering” (World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary, 1989). These words form the basis of the English word Therapeutic, "having to do with the treating or curing of disease; curative...remedial, healing." (World Book Encyclopedia, 1989).

Drum, refers to a global variety of percussion instruments & rhythmic forms.

Theradrum combines all these ideas into one words. Likewise, Theramusic and Theraart refer to any style of quality music or art that is healing.
