Less known, purring as relaxing music : this "buzz", composed of low frequencies, emanating from Minou snuggled against itself communicates with the body, slows the heart rate, the blood pressure in the arteries and therefore lowers the tension. To prescribe as prevention of infarction .

Minou, reimbursed by the Secu?

Too independent to be "used" to cure, its virtues have been the subject of conclusive experiments: in retirement home, it acts as anti-depressant ; in orthopedics, the vibrations of purring strengthen the broken arms, accelerate the healing of wounds and soothe the pain of osteoarthritis.

Cat bars to de-stress

They only want to lend themselves to the caresses of city dwellers too speed, to whom they communicate a little serenity. And why not cats in the office, essential when the boss puts pressure on us?

In the meantime, if you do not have a cat yet, get comfortable and your headphones! A purring CD comes with V. Aïache's book.

"The purring therapy. These cats that heal us ", with a CD of 30 min of purring, published by Le Courrier du Livre, 16 €.
