Crying is therapeutic, and it comes with numerous benefits, including;
It can let out pain
Did you know that shedding tears is accompanied by release of happy hormones? Well, it causes endorphins and oxytocin release, which heighten an individual’s spirits by easing emotional and physical pain. I always tell my clients to cry when they have to; it helps lessen pain.
Enhances sleep
A 2015 study indicates that crying can elevate a baby’s sleep. It could be because of its pain-relieving and mood-uplifting properties that help sleep better. But the effect is not yet confirmed for adults.
Flushes out toxins and relieves stress
Tears are loaded with various compounds, including chemicals and hormones. Research suggests that letting out tears helps release stress hormones and other toxins, which calms and relaxes the body.
