The Therapeutic Effect of Purring

According to Khan, studies show that the purring of cats, with a frequency ranging from 25 to 150 Hz, has therapeutic effects. This natural sound can lower cortisol levels, which helps reduce stress and promotes overall relaxation of the body.

Positive Impact on the Cardiovascular System

The doctor also notes that cat owners have a lower risk of developing heart diseases such as hypertension and heart attacks. The purring of cats not only helps normalize blood pressure but also slows down the heart rate.

Research indicates that the vibrations from purring can aid in the healing of bones and soft tissues, as well as alleviate pain by releasing endorphins. Moreover, purring helps people fall asleep faster, improves sleep quality, boosts mood, and reduces feelings of loneliness.
