Saw this short video on the BBC website today: "The power of hugs for reducing inflammation in the body." Interesting.

Ibuprofen is cheaper.
Ok, I’ll be a little crass here and say there are too many threads that say the opposite. Swelling is very much an issue here. 😇
But kidding aside, I’m always a little mystified by the “cuddling is magic” concept. I enjoy it, believe it has real impacts on my life. But inflammation? True mental health? I’m open but unconvinced.
It also cures cancer and mental illness according to some profiles
Mm-hmmm
It's actually pretty simple. Prolonged physical contact releases oxytocin, oxytocin is an anti-inflammatory.
@pmvines so you are a believer 😁🤪
If that were truly accurate my Crohn's disease and arthritis would have been long gone by now
hugs reduce inflammation
Really?! 😁
Cool! Lol! 😆 So next time someone hugs me, I am going to put my feet up and out (towards them 🦶😊) and say "Hugs these!"
😆😆😆😆
Some hugs can induce swelling.

I deal with some health issues, including inflammation, and I can honestly say that I feel tangibly better after a cuddle session. Also, my hugs cure appendicitis, halitosis, and hair loss*

@Sooson 😁
I think people love feet like they love bulldogs and sharpei. They’re so ugly and smelly it hurts, therefore they need love.
Wash em and bring ‘em here. I’ll hug the (radio edit) out of em.
I get pedis but In general don't like my feet being touched way too ticklish
