Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluated the effects of Laughing Therapy (LT) and Laughing Therapy combined with Sunbath (LT&SB) on lymphocyte count and absolute lymphocyte percentage in healthy young adults. Both interventions were safe, well-tolerated, and did not cause significant changes in lymphocyte parameters, indicating preserved immune balance.
The stability of lymphocyte counts can be attributed to Laughing Therapy reducing stress and modulating the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (46,47), and Sunbath promoting vitamin D synthesis, which supports lymphocyte function and immune homeostasis (48). The LT&SB group showed slightly more consistent results, suggesting combined interventions may enhance immune stability (49).
Overall, these non-invasive, cost-effective interventions may serve as complementary strategies for maintaining immune health and promoting holistic wellness.
