Benefits Of A Hug

Hugs are good for our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health.

Science shows that kissing, snuggling, hugging, and holding hands create more than just magical moments. They can actually boost your overall health, help you lose weight, fight off infection, sickness and disease.

Hugs activate the release of the hormone oxytocin and reduces cortisol levels, which in turn decreases anxiety, fear, stress and depression and induces sleep. Hugs create a feeling relaxation.

Other research states that hugs reduce blood pressure and heart rate in stressful situations, and rejuvenates the body. Hugs can actually strength your immune system.

Hugs can boost serotonin and dopamine levels, as well as release endorphins of "the feel good" hormones and natural pain relievers.

A hug helps us bond with others and experience a sense of safety, comfort, empathy, and calm. Hugs increase pleasure and well being, and reduce pain symptoms.

Hugs are invigorating and rejuvenating, and have no unpleasant side effects. Medical science says that hugs are so healthy they are now dubbed "A miracle drug".

A hug is not artificial. Its ingredients are a hundred percent wholesome. Hugging is the ideal gift, great for any occasion, fun to give and to receive. It shows you care. It comes with its own wrapping. And of course, it's fully returnable.

When we open our hearts and our arms in a warm embrace, we encourage others to do the same.

How To Harness The Power Of A Hug

Hug Yourself

If you're alone, hug yourself. Go ahead - it may sound silly, new studies report that hugging yourself can significantly relieve pain. A hug is cheaper than going to the spa or getting a massage, and has no side effects like popping a pill.

Go ahead and hug yourself happy. Hug yourself the way you want to be hugged, to create the sensation you are seeking, for as long as you'd like!

Cuddle an Animal

If you have a cat or dog, snuggling with your furry friend. Snuggling with them releases a cuddle hormone the same way it does with a human. Touching a pet activates your sensory nerves, causing them to release your feel-good hormone.

Stroking an animal helps build attachment the same way human skin-to-skin contact does.
