If you have a headache, hand, tooth..., it is enough to take the hand of a loved one and, if you believe the scientists from the University of California, you will reduce the pain.
Touch, they say, has a particularly powerful effect on women: the sight or touch of a partner acts on them like an anesthetic. Even photos of loved ones have a similar effect on women.
It is not known exactly why touches have such power, but several previous studies have already proven that the power of hugs and touches is enormous. For example, a mother can really comfort a child when she kisses him where he was hit.
25 young women who were in healthy relationships for at least six months participated in the latest research. Women who received minor burns felt less pain when looking at photos of their partners. A similar effect was caused by the touch of their partners who held their hands while moderately painful heat stimuli were applied to their upper arms. Women told scientists that it hurts less when they hold someone's hand, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a loved one.
Well, if you want less stress in your life and a better mood, hug your loved ones and exchange touches - you will be happy.
