Laughter Therapy People are instructed to laugh forcefully so that all the residual air in the lungs is emptied and is replaced by oxygen-rich fresh air.
Hernia is protusion of abdominal contents through the muscle wall of the abdominal cavity.
This is because Laughter produces additional abdominal pressure and may aggravate the condition. The condition of patients with long standing piles may worsen with laughter therapy. They should get themselves treated before attending therapy. Heart patients who get chest pain while walking or during routine activity,should not participate. Patients whose conditions have stabilised and who can walk for 30-45 minutes without difficulty,are fit to join the laughter session.
