Laughter Yoga for Cancer Patients

Laughter Yoga for Cancer Patients

Laughter Yoga as a physical intervention leads to real physiological and biochemical changes in our body that have a profound effect on the development of cancer

Laughter yoga provides a non-intellectual path to laughter. Cancer patients may be in emotional turmoil and become depressed, making it difficult for them to achieve laughter through intellectual stimuli like humorous videos. Laughter yoga approaches laughter as a body exercise that can easily be done regardless of mood.

Laughter Yoga for Depression/Anxiety

Laughter Yoga for Depression

Scientific studies have shown that there is an increase in serotonin and dopamine with laughter yoga. Endorphin adds to stabilize their mood states.

Laughter Yoga is a powerful antidepressant. Depressed people never laugh and if you keep laughing regularly you are less likely to be depressed. Laughter Yoga has helped tens of thousands of people to overcome severe depression all over the world. This means that anyone can laugh, regardless of their state of mind and cognitive ability. It’s not unusual for people who have suffered long-term depression to recover through laughter, even after years of antidepressants.
