Emotional Treatment

Laughter can treat a great deal of illness. Heavenly blessings often descend on families that laugh a lot.

Our health gets the benefits when we laugh frequently. Every time we brighten up and feel confident, our human relationship, work productivity, and health will be in their best state. In addition, our white cells and immune system will also be at their best capacity.

Laughter betters our body immune system. If a patient would laugh a few times every day, his / her speed of recovery from illness is higher. Of course, we are talking about a real heartily laugh (and not just bitter laugh). Interesting enough, not only is the joy coming from winning the lottery, or praises from our superiors, the exuberant joy from the success of our business also stimulates good improvement on our health. Even a belly laugh we enjoy when we watch comedies has the same positive effect on the state of our health.

There was a researching group that conducted a study on the practical benefits of frequent laughing. Before and after the volunteers were shown a three hour session of comedies blood samples were taken from them. The samples were tested for immunity level. The results showed the active level of the "offensive natural killers" of cancer cells was raised from low to high after a good laugh. More concretely, the average mean of the "offensive natural killer" cells had been increased by 35% to 45% at the end of the shows.

Laughter also possesses the ability to reduce the seriousness of the ailment. However, the reaction in one's brain has something to do with the increase of immunity reaction. Therefore, we will not get the same effectiveness if we do not really laugh from the bottom of our heart.

During the war, the wounded soldiers of the winning country recuperated better and faster than those of the defeated country. It is because of the joy of victory that causes all the different bodily systems to arrive at the best state, thus expediting the recovery process. Depression and worries from failure will cause all the bodily systems fall into their lowest efficiency, or come to the edge of breaking down, recovery will naturally become difficult.

All kinds of stresses in the modern urban life and the fickleness of human nature are causes of different sicknesses as well; excellent typical examples are heart diseases, high blood pressure. Malignant tumor is usually diagnosed during the time when a person loses the job, feels disappointed, falls short of funds, and worries too much.

Plato has once said:  "Medical science and emotional treatment are two sides of a coin, they could not be separated!"
