Does crying relieve stress?

Yes — research shows that emotional crying has measurable stress-relieving effects. Tears contain stress hormones, so crying literally removes them from the body. After crying, many people report reduced heart rate, slower breathing, and a sense of emotional release. Rather than fighting the urge to cry, allow it when genuine. Lovon provides a space where you can express and release without judgment.
