Do tears have a healing effect?


 Day 8

A common sight and audio, hearing and sighting of small children cry. But as our age progresses the impact of tears becomes a rare sighting. As adults there are times when the emotion takes control of your balance and you cry. I always wondered on why do we cry.

Do tears have a healing effect?

As an adult, there have been times when we feel the emotional imbalance and maybe have a tear. Do we actually cry when we have reached the break point, or the maximum of tolerance? Do we feel better after the tear ceremony process is over? Are we able to focus better after the break down and lay out plans to reconstruct?

According to the association for psychological science (2008), a research indicates the participants reported improved mood restoration after crying. Interesting fact, so with crying, the person breakdown completely, and the idea of frustration is flushed out. So demolish before you reconstruct.

Based on this research, is the idea of crying really bad? Does it sound like a healthy approach relieving the person? Does this concept stand its validity only based on the personality of the participant?
Tears provide a temporary healing effect with mood improvement. But the true uplift is processed with the help of family and support

The biggest comfort for pain is family
