Elephant Therapy
Elephant therapy is an intervention based around the use of elephants and elephant sound.
Some people believe that elephant calls contain infra sound, which is a relaxation tone, and ultra sound, which can engender active emotions.
For exmaple, researchers in Thailand have reported improvements in children with autism in areas such as self-reliance and social reactions, after spending time with the elephants.
