Some people firmly believe that banks relieve stress, improve physical capabilities and overall health. It turns out that this is how they treat not only in our countries, but also in distant Indonesia. Instead of glass bubbles, street therapists use bull horns. It is unknown whether this method helps to become healthier, but the visual effect of the procedure is impressive.
The method of using cans for the treatment of various ailments has been known since 1500 BC, although glass did not exist then. Ancient healers used empty horns to create a suction effect. Today, the therapeutic practice is still popular, but despite the presence of glass and bamboo jars, folk therapists on the streets of Jakarta continue to use bull horns. The patient's appearance during the procedure is impressive.
The medical effect of cans is not scientifically proven, but people still turn to healers to get rid of dizziness, joint pain and other ailments.
In the Indonesian version, patients after placing the horns on their backs become like the Bowser monster from the Super Mario video game.
Local street therapists are proud to continue the ancient tradition. They are sure that horns are much more effective than banks. Despite the fact that there is a risk of infection from animals and transmission of infections from patient to patient, people continue to put their backs under the horns, because such street procedures are cheaper than official medical services, and last only a few minutes, saving time and money.
In medical practice, not only bovine, but also deer antlers are used. Pantocrine is extracted from them, but for this they cut the horns of young deer "alive". Animal rights defenders are very outraged by such mockery of noble beauties.
