Laughter therapy We say in English: Laughter is the best medicine. Some people really believe that laughter id good for their health. They go to special classes and have “laughter therapy”. At the start of the class, they all look at each other and say “ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha”. Usually, this becomes real laughter and by the end of the class, they feel great. And many doctors agree that laughter is good for your health. In some children’s hospitals in Britain, clowns visit patients and make them laugh.

Snake massage A massage is a great way to relax and health spas offer many different kinds of massage. At Ada Barak’s health spa in Israel, you can get a really unusual treatment: a snake massage. You go into a special room. There you take off your trousers and top and you lie on a table. Then Ada puts about twelve snakes on your body and the small snakes on your face. Some patients say the snakes can cure headaches, but the treatment is not popular with everybody. “People like it or they hate it”, says Ada.

Doctor Fish Millions of people around the world have skin problems. That’s an unusual treatment called “doctor fish”. It’s already popular in Japan, China and Turkey, and now you can get it in Europe too. Patients get into water with hundreds of small fish. The fish eat the dead skin from the patients’ arms, legs and bodies but they don’t eat any healthy skin. It isn’t painful, but it feels strange. There are many skin problems that doctors can’t cure, so they are happy for their patients to try doctor fish.
