All animals are equipped to take care of themselves in nature, with natural defenses to ensure their survival. Now more than ever, scientists are researching different varieties of animals to see how we humans can learn from their different health mechanisms. While the topic is vast, we have highlighted five creatures which, through scientific research, have been found to possess incredible healing powers that can rehabilitate and treat human illnesses.
1. DOGS
HEALING ABILITY: Dogs saliva has been found to heal wounds. Moreover, the motion of a dogs tongue can aid wounds, as the saliva loosens debris on the surface of a cut.
BACKED BY SCIENCE: Researchers discovered a protein called Nerve Growth Factor in dogs saliva; wounds treated with NGF heal twice as fast as untreated wounds.

2. SNAKES
HEALING ABILITY: A protein in the venom of a Malayan pit viper can help treat strokes and prevent blood clots.
BACKED BY SCIENCE: While getting bitten by a venomous snake isnt ideal, using their venom to treat illnesses has been found effective. A protein called ancrod found in the Malayan pit vipers venom can dissolve blood clots that cause a stroke for as long as six hours after stroke symptoms begin. The venom is currently being used in Europe to treat patients with deep-vein blood clots, and to prevent problematic clots from forming after certain surgeries and procedures.

4. BEES
HEALING ABILITY: Bees are the backbone of our ecosystem, providing humans with multiple food sources. Their pollen is a perfect food, containing almost all of the nutrients required by the human body.
BACKED BY SCIENCE: Pollen is rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and bioflavonoids which are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and help in lowering cholesterol. Fresh pollens also contains at least 20 amino acids that build healthy cells.

5. HOUSE PETS DOGS, CATS, RABBITS AND GUINEA PIGS
HEALING ABILITY: Household pets have been shown to raise immunities in babies.
BACKED BY SCIENCE: Babies who live with pets during their first six months have significantly lower chances of developing allergies and asthma. Children with pets are also less likely to come down with colds and ear infections during their first year.
