New Ichthyo-therapy Treatment in Eastern Cuba
Monday, July 21, 2014

Havana.- Experts in the eastern Cuban province of Holguín are using the so-called ichthyo-therapy or fish therapy to improve the quality of life of senior citizens.

This complementary therapy consists of using fish to treat patients suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes and depression.

According to experts, the method allows senior citizens to interact with the environment and reduces stress and depression associated to the loss of capacities due to aging.

The evaluations made by the experts showed a reduction in the consumption of psycho-drugs, the levels of glucose in blood and blood pressure, disorders that are related to the diseases treated.

The therapy combines the color and movement of ornamental fish with sea sounds to stimulate the memory, joint movements and feelings of harmony.
