Many owners of domestic cats claim that their pets are able to cure various ailments. For those who have never had a pet, such statements may seem silly.
However, the inhabitants of Ancient Rome, Egypt and Babylon believed that cats were excellent healers.
In Ancient Rus', there was also a belief that cats were able to rid their owners of illnesses.
But can domestic cats really do this?
It turns out that back in the last century, doctors from the US and UK noticed that communication with cats had a positive effect on people with mental disorders. Later, a study was conducted that proved that interaction with animals relieves people of a number of ailments. Doctors called the unusual method of treatment feline therapy.
The results of further experiments showed that all the people who had cats placed on their sore spots managed to overcome their illnesses. Half of the patients who did not interact with cats did not experience any improvement in their health.
According to scientists, animals can generate low-frequency currents that have a positive effect on human health. This is possible thanks to the soft and fine fur of cats.
Some researchers are sure that if a cat loves its owner, it will definitely try to cure him if he gets sick. So many scientists believe that cats unmistakably lie down on sore spots.
Animals can heal by warming the sore spot with the warmth of their fur, and a cat's purring can act as a pain reliever on people.
Numerous experiments prove that people who are near purring pets have normalized blood pressure, accelerated regeneration processes, stabilized heart rhythm, faster bone healing, and stress relief.
What diseases can our pets treat? It turns out that cat owners live much longer than people who do not have pets. Scientists have found that cats can relieve a person from arrhythmia, hypertension, hypotension, and can even help him recover from a stroke. Cats also relieve their owners from insomnia. In addition, these animals have a good effect on schizophrenics, autists, and people suffering from neuroses.
However, much depends on the length of the fur and the sex of the animal. It is believed that the best doctors are cats, not male cats. If long-haired animals help people cope with neuroses, insomnia and mental illnesses, then sphinxes and short-haired cats are excellent at treating the intestines, kidneys and stomach.
Thus, cats are incredibly useful animals. Communication with them allows you to normalize the functioning of the entire body as a whole.
It turns out that stories about cats that heal people are not myths, but reality. But it should be remembered that feline therapy can only be used as an auxiliary effect, because it is not able to completely replace drug treatment. In addition, cats help only those people who love them. For this reason, it is better not to quarrel with these animals.
