But what the chic teacher discovered

During the course of healing itself, Laughter Yoga is not a direct medical treatment, but there is physiological evidence to explain that laughing can serve as a therapeutic complement for people with vocal disorders.

1.

Breathing mechanism and vocal folds

Laughing is a long and continuous exhalation, which keeps the vocal folds muscles from flexing too much (Provine, 2000).

.

The midriff and thoracic muscles are stimulated, improving airflow and blood in the larynx.

2.

Vibration

(Vocal Vibration)

Laughing creates the vibration of the vocal folds.

.

This has a micromassage-like effect on the neck and larynx muscles (Bachorowski et al., 2001). This tremor forces increase blood flow to the nerves and vocal control muscles.

3.

Autonomous nervous system

Laughter stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing the contractions of the laryngeal muscles (Porges, 2007).

.

This automatic nervous system relaxation is important for reducing the spasticity seen in spasmodic dysphonia.

4.

Mind and nervous power

Stress is a key trigger for tensing vocal folds; research confirms that laughing reduces the stress hormone cortisol (Bennett & Lengacher, 2006).

.

The release of endorphins and dopamine during laughing, also allows the coming out sound to be more relaxed and flowing.

Even. Laughing yoga is not a direct cure for vocal folds, but can act as a "# Rehabilitation(Rehabilitation Practice) "

.

That links breathing.

Vibration and relaxation of the autonomic nervous system

But also affects biophysiology.
