12 Dec 2008. Is Laughter the Best Medicine?

Two free Laughter Seminars with guest speaker Carol Thompson of the Laughter Network
Laughter Lunch, 1 - 2.30 pm, at Hinton Community Centre, Hollybush Walk, off Ross Road, Hereford, HR2 7RJ
Laughter Serenade, 7 - 8.30 pm at The Watershed, Wye Street, Hereford, HR2 7RB

Chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, head and body aches are often stress related, and laughter is one effective way to manage these conditions while reducing our dependence on medication. With the credit crunch and the gloom of an impending recession creating underlying anxiety for many, it is important to be able to release this tension, and to connect with others.
