welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
alternative medicines you won’t believe
exist before we begin we publish new
videos every day so be sure to subscribe
for more great content for this list
we’re looking at unconventional
therapies or medicines that aren’t
accepted in the mainstream but still
have a following nonetheless number 10
rebirthing therapy I believe that as in
psychoanalysis rebirthing brings out
things that you’ve been stuck in for
years remember being born
well according to leonard or founder of
rebirthing techniques we all remember
our time in the womb and exiting it and
it is traumatic or developed a series of
breathing techniques to help let go of
your fetal past with sessions lasting
less than 15 minutes considering his
controversial beliefs which include the
possibility of immortality whores
theories were generally disregarded by
the scientific community
rebirthing finally did get more
attention in 2006 but for tragic reasons
believers took the rebirthing treatment
of a ten-year-old girl too far resulting
in her death the practice was then
banned in Colorado but many Americans
still follow or and his breathing
techniques number 9 maggot debridement
therapy the maggots are a kind of a
cleaning device for these worms while
this might sound like a label for an
unpleasant divorce rest assured this is
way more messy in maggot debridement
therapy tiny maggots are let loose in a
wound in an attempt to clean it they go
for the dead necrotic tissue and eat it
all up within a day or two time and are
then removed interestingly enough
they’re far more thorough at cleaning
the wound of this tissue then even
sophisticated surgical procedures so if
you have any soft skin or non healing
wounds maggot therapy is out there if
you can stomach it number eight virtual
dolphin therapy it’s the most relaxing
experience you can ever have when you
hear the term virtual dolphintherapy a
mental image of skyping with a
psychoanalyzing flipper might come to
mind but it’s actually much simpler than
that
traditional dolphin therapy involves
swimming with dolphins to relax
sounds great right but most people don’t
have access to dolphins enter the
virtual alternative watching videos of
dolphins while listening to them
alongside various beach sounds has been
found to be very soothing but some
multi-sensory
that it eventually just stops all the
chatter of our minds and it’s just a toe
deep relaxation and spiritual
rejuvenation best of all it is virtually
free simply head online and check out
some sessions whenever you feel the need
just remember that it has to be footage
of real dolphins watching animated films
or Miami’s football team will not yield
the same results
number seven ant eating therapy oh is
that what you want yep because that’s
how you get ants this on the other hand
is exactly what it sounds like but what
exactly is it for well the Chinese have
been experimenting with eating ants for
centuries and claim that certain types
offer anti-inflammatory or pain reducing
benefits they’ve also been said to have
anti-aging properties
more recently Chinese scientists have
reportedly discovered extracts in a type
of ant that helps with arthritis
infections and more so next time a bunch
of ants interrupt your picnic to eat
your food
turn the tables on them their don’t
actually you don’t know where they’ve
been
and you don’t want to know would you
mind turning that down

number six cow dung
across many cultures throughout history
animal dung from various animals has
been thought to have holistic qualities
cow dung is one of these much-lauded
types of poop thanks to the animals
veneration in the hindu religion the
miracle excrements most practical use is
as a fuel for cooking in india’s more
rural areas but it was mentioned as
having healing properties in ancient
Hindu writings the dung is still used in
India as an alternative medicine for
AIDS arthritis cancer and diabetes you
can find tons of cow dung products on
store shelves often paired with cow
urine ironically cow dung can also be
converted to a soap helping with dry
skin and dandruff that’s some versatile
stuff amazing number five past life
regression somebody’s being chased mhm
and this person being chased do you know
who that is this one can get kind of
creepy past life regression is the
process of mentally revisiting a former
life you or someone who truly believes
you have lived past lives no question
once a patient is placed under hypnosis
the hypnotist asks a series of questions
to help him or her remember things from
a past life that they wouldn’t be able
to recall otherwise witnesses
six current medically it’s reportedly
been used to find the causes of a
specific patient’s illnesses or current
fears like being afraid of heights after
falling off a mountain in another life
while it’s been discredited by most of
the psychiatric community it still has a
large following if only for the
spiritual journey here here
here I did number for beer spa they’re
gonna smell the beer on you you’ll smell
like an alcoholic beer baths might not
be for everyone but if you’re a fan of
beer these spas are just what the doctor
ordered located around Europe and most
famously in the Czech Republic these
therapeutic spas are just like any other
spa except you can douse yourself in a
hot bath of barley hops and yeast if
that’s not enough for you you get served
beer while you relax in it it works just
like any other hot tub but with a
distinctly hoppy aroma
who knew beer could be healthy it might
sound weird but it’s actually quite nice
number three AP therapy using bees as
medicine who would have thought that
that horrifying scene from the Wickerman
could actually do a body good ap therapy
originating in China has been around for
centuries it uses pollen and royal jelly
as holistic remedies but the most
curious part of this therapy is the
venom it’s supposedly an
anti-inflammatory and is thought to
activate your immune system to fight
diseases like MS patients willingly get
themselves stung sometimes hundreds of
times because they swear by the Venom’s
medicinal value if you plan to do this
though make sure you’re not allergic and
just to be clear you shouldn’t actually
take the Nicolas Cage approach there we
go see the Stinger pulls right out
really gently has its own pumping
mechanism number two snake massage
therapy you might have noticed a lot of
animal themed entries on our list but
this is the scariest by far using snakes
to relax seems counterintuitive but
snake massage therapy is quite popular
in Asia and has gained some traction in
the West while you lie down a masseuse
unleashes sneaks on your back to
stimulate your body
some say the uneasiness gives them an
adrenaline rush instead of a calming
effect but that’s all part of it as
adrenaline is a natural metabolism
booster snake masters even have smaller
snakes to massage your face but don’t
worry the reptiles are all non-venomous
and have their mouths taped shut it’s
very smooth
then you could feel their muscle
supposed to moving moving and that’s
what they called a massage before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions right over here is a
cryo sauna
it’s got liquid nitrogen that’s released
into the chamber to cool down the body
those electrical impulses allow the
spinal cord to receive simple commands
from the brain through circuitry that
was previously considered irreparable
after spinal cord injury
[Music]
number one you’re in therapy drink my
own pee most of us have a natural
aversion to our own waste
but this therapy takes that aversion and
kicks it to the curb and into your mouth
urine therapy also known as gyro therapy
has been used to treat a rather
extensive list of illnesses from
digestion issues and skin problems to
cancer even former prime minister of
india Morarji Desai claimed he drank his
own urine daily despite its popularity
there’s no scientific data to conclude
the urine is effective in treating any
disease it is after all 95 percent water
well at least it’s free do you agree
