Benefits of hugging

1. As per a study, hugging reduces the chances of falling ill as it reduces your stress and improves immunity against infectious diseases.
2. Hugging is proven to reduce body pain if touched properly. Minor joint aches can be cured if the body hugged in the right way.
3. Hugs stimulate the thymus gland, which regulates and balances the body’s production of white blood cells, which keeps you healthy and disease free.
4. Couples who hug each other on a routine basis have a healthier heart rate as compared to others who don’t share affectionate hugs. You and your partner will have controlled blood pressure levels and a healthy heart.
5. Hugging increases your “cuddle hormones” (they are oxytocin chemicals which rise when we hug, touch, or sit close to someone else), as called by scientists. Oxytocin is associated with happiness and less stress and this can be boosted with good hugs.
6. Hugs provide you strong emotional support and a feeling of being protected. This helps you reduce your anxiety level and makes you feel fearless.
7. On an emotional level, hugging improves your bond and removes gaps between you and your loved one. This makes you feel more connected with each other and makes your relationship stronger.
8. Hugs also balance out your nervous system. The effect in moisture and electricity in the skin (goosebumps) during the hug suggests a balanced state in the nervous system.
9. A study found that touch alone can reveal emotions like anger, fear, disgust, love, gratitude, and sympathy, by almost 83%. And, hugging is one of the most important forms of human touch.
10. If you have low self-esteem or low confidence, hugging helps you get rid of that too. It indulges you with a feeling of self-assurance and confidence to face the world.

Hugging therapy

Our society is suffering from chronic social isolation and unfortunately, not everyone has their loved ones around to hug them when required. Touch deprivation like this leads to anxiety, depression and other health problems.

This is when hug therapy enters the picture to make you feel relaxed and better.

Our professionals are there to listen, comfort, console, encourage, and journey with you. They provide you non-sexual hugs which will bestow strong positive vibes on your soul. It’s always better to meet a friend in the form of our professionals and share an affectionate hug rather than sitting alone all disturbed and upset.

Enroll for a hug therapy today and bid goodbye to loneliness.
