It's a unique idea spread around the world, developed by a doctor in 1995. Anyone can laugh for no reason, we do not need jokes, humor or comedies to laugh. We started the laughter as an exercise in a group and becomes real and contagious laughter. Laughter therapy is a combination of breathing exercises and laughter exercises to increase oxygen supply to the body and brain. Did you know that your brain does not distinguish the real from the false laugh laugh? In fact your body can not distinguish one from the other, which means we get the same physical and biochemical changes, as well as the same health benefits. It all started in 1995 with 5 people, currently has over 7000 Laughter Clubs in 60 countries.

A set of names had a valuable contribution in the history of therapeutic laughter. I will talk only two names that have inspired more people:

Drº William F.Fry Stanford University California: He began to study the physiological effects of laughter, in the 1960s is considered the father of "gelotology" (science of laughter in relation ace their therapeutic potential;

Drº Lee Berk: Inspired by Norman Cousins and his team of researchers in the field of psycho-neuro-immunology at Loma Linda pored over the physical impact of intense laughter. One of their case study concerns patients with heart attack under medical care. 50% of patients saw mood videos for 30 minutes per day. After one year, the group of "mood" had fewer arrhythmias, lower blood pressure, lower levels of stress hormones needing fewer doses of medication.
