Yes, stress hormones: cortisol, prolactin, & adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), along with substances like leu-enkephalin, helping the body return to a balanced state and reducing stress. Crying is your body's natural way of flushing out these stress-induced chemicals and can promote feelings of relief and well-being.
Crying:
Hormone Flushing: Emotional tears contain higher concentrations of stress-related chemicals compared to reflex tears (from dust or onions).
Stress Hormone Reduction: Releasing stress levels in the body.
Endorphin Release: Trigger release of endorphins, the body's mood elevators, contributing to pain relief and better mood.
Self-Soothing: This process helps regulate the body, acting as a self-soothing mechanism to manage intense emotions and return to a calmer state.
In essence, crying is a healthy physiological response removing built-up stress chemicals activating soothing systems, making you feel better afterward💧💦
