Laughter has been used as a therapeutic tool for many years
because it is a natural form of medicine. Laughter is available to everyone and
it provides benefits to a person's physical, emotional, and social well being.
Some of the benefits of using laughter therapy are that it can relieve stress
and relax the whole body. It can also
boost the immune system and release endorphin to relieve pain.
Additionally,
laughter can help prevent heart disease by increasing blood flow and improving
the function of blood vessels. Some of the emotional benefits include
diminishing anxiety or fear, improving overall mood, and adding joy to one's
life. Laughter is also known to reduce allergic reactions in a preliminary
study related to dust mite allergy sufferers.
Laughter therapy also has some social benefits, such as
strengthening relationships, improving teamwork and reducing conflicts, and
making oneself more attractive to others. Therefore, whether a person is trying
to cope with a terminal illness or just trying to manage their stress or
anxiety levels, laughter therapy can be a significant enhancement to their
life.
