Humor can heal in several ways. It combats fear and provides comfort by elevating mood. Laughter reduces stress by lowering levels of stress hormones and improving cardiac and nervous system function. Using humor can boost the immune system and enhance brain functioning. It spreads happiness and encourages relaxation. While humor is usually provided by nurses rather than doctors in hospitals, finding the humor in each day and smiling more can have health benefits.
