Laughter therapy, also known as laughter yoga, is a mind-body technique that involves intentional and voluntary laughter, often in groups, with the belief that it can create physical health benefits. It emphasizes laughing for the sake of laughing, not dependent on jokes or humor. This therapeutic approach incorporates controlled breathing exercises, stretching, gentle physical movements, chanting, visualization, and playfulness to stimulate laughter. Through practicing regular laughter, it aims to relieve stress, enhance mood, boost the immune system, improve cardiovascular health, promote relaxation, foster social connection, and overall bring a sense of well-being. Although scientific evidence of its effectiveness is still evolving, many consider laughter therapy a complementary modality, often integrated with other holistic approaches or therapies.
