Where there’s laughter, there’s healing.

Long-term benefits:

Improved immune system, pain relief, increased personal satisfaction, and improved mood.

Scientists have been researching the relation between the mind and the body, especially in connection with the body's ability to heal (a field called psychoneuroimmunology). Laughter appears to change brain chemistry and may boost the immune system. Using the power of smiles and laughter to aid in healing, Therapeutic Humor is an intervention that promotes health and wellness by stimulating a playful discovery, expression, and appreciation of the absurdity and/or incongruity of life's situations. Therapeutic Humor is used as a complementary treatment to facilitate healing and coping, allowing us to release fears, anger, and stress - all of which can harm the body over time; humor improves our quality of life.
