Laughter as medicine

The reason laughter feels medicinal is biological: it reduces cortisol, triggers endorphin release, and forces your nervous system to shift states in seconds—it's a drug your own body manufactures. Western medicine is slowly admitting what every culture already knew: sometimes the cure is just permission to be ridiculous.
