Taxonomy: Laughter Therapy

Programs that use the therapeutic properties of laughter to relieve stress; dissolve negative emotions such as irritation, anger, boredom and depression; and improve the ability of individuals to fight illness. Laughter has been shown to strengthen the functioning of the immune system by boosting Gamma-interferon levels, reduce the levels of stress-promoting hormones, promote muscle relaxation, lower blood pressure, and reduce pain by releasing endorphins, the body's natural pain killer.
