I’ve just been reading about how great laughing is for us and it seems so incredibly in line with the wonderful benefits of reflexology that I had to share my findings with my lovely clients!
The physical act of laughing calms anxiety. It relaxes muscles, hence the expression “weak with laughter”, and can lower blood pressure. Laughter blocks stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin that cause wear and tear on the system (I know some of you will be relieved by that!)
There are claims that laughter stimulates the immune system to produce cells that fight disease and tumours. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins which make us feel good and dull the pain sensors.
