It's a bad line pumpkin seed oil is good for what The ancients knew exactly why this was. The heart was the organ which heated the humours and sent them surging round the body, making us angry if we were choleric, or amorous if we were sanguine. Music worked on the mind and therefore on the humours. Heart, soul and music worked together in a self-reinforcing loop. The brain, that “cold, wet matter” as Aristotle called it, just didn’t figure in the picture.
