Hugs Do Wonders Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

A hug of lovers do them immense good.
Oxytocin hormone spurted is the cause.
It promotes hormones that fight infection
And demotes the level of discomfort.

Oxytocin reduces cortisol
In the body and lowers blood pressure,
Relaxes muscles and stimulates
Parasympathetic nervous system to soothe.

Even imagining embracing the one
Sexually desired, can release hormones-
Serotonin, dopamine and endorphine,
In the brain to trigger happiness and joy.

In depression serotonin level is low;
A hug will boost it and you feel lovely.
Then think of benefits from having sex
With one on bed or in fantasy.
