Does a cat's purr have healing powers?
It's hard to find a person who doesn't like the sound of a cat purring.
After all, such sounds are calming and fill the house with coziness.
But few people know that such sounds are even beneficial for health.
Experts note that the main highlight is the frequency of purring - depending on the situation, cats purr at “working” frequencies from 25 to 150 Hz.
If the animal is happy and feels well, then the range will be from 25 to 50 Hz. The frequency plus or minus up to 100 Hz is healing.
This has a positive effect not only on the well-being of pets, but also on people.
It is believed that purring cats help relieve physical pain, as well as swelling, muscle and tendon pain. In addition, wounds heal faster.
But the magic of such vibrations does not end there.
Researchers are of the opinion that cats' purring also has a positive effect on bone density.
How can you notice this? Domestic cats are lazy and couch potatoes, without active movements their bones should become fragile, but this does not happen for the very reason that purring helps maintain health.
