In Bombay, a doctor has set up a laughter workshop, specializing in treating in mental illnesses. This unique treatment has received the mandate of the Switzerland government, permitting him to set up a similar clinic there.

If an unknowing tourist were to stroll around in the gardens and parks of Bombay or any other large cities of India in the early mornings, he would witness such a scene: groups of men & women, young & old, standing and laughing together. Any knowing locals would tell you it’s the doctors of Kataria’s laughter clinic taking them for morning exercises.

A few years ago, Dr Kataria set up the laughter clinic to facilitate the treatment of repression, hypertension and other psychological disorders. Although all doctors know that being light-hearted, and laughing are very beneficial to the recovery of patients, but Dr Kataria is the first person in the world to successfully invent a technique to train laughter. He highly recommends everyone to have a big laughter everyday.

Dr Kataria first uses Yoga techniques to enable his patients to laugh out, followed by a few rounds of deep breathing before finally laughing out loud again. He eventually devised a set of 30 different laughters, with each training a different part of the body and mental faculty. He said that those who have attended his clinic felt so relieved & revitalized in the same way as a person who has just undergone conventional treatment.
