【Global Times comprehensive report】Russia's health resort sochi began to use dolphin therapy for new crown rehabilitation.

Russia's "Arguments and Facts" weekly newspaper reported on the 14th that there are more than 50 nursing homes in Krasnodar Krai providing post-COVID-19 treatment services, of which more than 20 are located in the southern border city of Sochi. These nursing homes offer a variety of programs to help patients recover physically and mentally, such as phytotherapy, ozone therapy, thalassotherapy and mud therapy. Dolphin therapy was pioneered by a local sanatorium in Sochi and refers to the use of dolphins themselves as a form of treatment.

Scientific experiments have proved that the ultrasonic sound emitted by dolphins has a certain activation effect on the brain. Sochi has a world-famous dolphinarium, so the local government plans to make the most of this resource to attract tourists. For patients who have recovered from COVID-19, dolphin therapy is mainly to use dolphins to psychologically soothe them. People often bear greater psychological stress after suffering from the new crown, and spending time with cute dolphins helps to release stress. (Liu Yupeng)
