Animal Therapy // July

Studies have shown that interacting with animals can increase people's level of the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin helps us feel happy and trusting. Oxytocin has some powerful effects for us in the body's ability to be in a state of readiness to heal, and also to grow new cells, so it predisposes us to an environment in our own bodies where we can be healthier.

Happy Animal Therapy Wednesday! Here's Charon's dose of animal therapy pictures to break the week with a little peak!
