Laughter is a great medicine and just good for health, same goes for a Gelotology which is a study of laughter and primarily checks it's effects in the body from a psychological, psychiatrical and physiological perceptions and how it takes a toll on your body.

This includes the a adherence and it's eventual support for laughter and it's therapeutic foundation for a alternative of medicine.

Geotolology is mainly consisting of three types of therapies which are specifically used for laughter and assist patients and people cope up with stress and psychological tensions applied to the human being. There are many therapies involved in it, I would be, in particular, discuss about Laughter Yoga or Yoga Laughter, as it is my favourite.

Yoga Laughter: This type of laughter of in a human body is practiced involving some weird prolonging laughter in large periods of time (they go "HAHAHAHA", rest, "HAHAHAHA", cycle continues). It is a yoga based on ones belief as the voluntary laughters gives the same physiological and psychological benefits with regards to the spontaneous laughter caused by humor or a really funny joke. This yoga are usually seen in groups with a leader of it handling and taking care of the necessary jokes (are told at the same time), eye contact (shown by the participants to the leader and it's members) and some happiness and lighthearted whimsical chats throughout the participants involving it. One more shocking thing is, the participants which propel unusual forceful laughters soon begin to terrify you and show some real and disastrously induced laughter, making you think, is he mad or somethin'?. Still those things are really useful as it helps you to create a social bond and creates a tension-free effect in the body, it is usually done to fake the mind and the body to release hormones and produce mediated effect with a relaxed mood.
