3 ways tears offer healing powers
1.There may actually be a scientific reason having a good cry makes you feel better.When people are in a bad or sad situation, toxic hormones build up in their bodies and act on their emotions to make them feel even worse.Crying perhaps flushes out these toxic hormones through our tears, which is yet another reason we feel so much better after crying.
2.Crying helps protect our eyes from foreign bodies. Your eyes tear up to protect themselves from and wash away sand, dust and other irritants.
3.Your eyes are also doing you a service when they tear up when you’re peeling an onion. Onions release a chemical called thiopropanal-S-oxide. The
chemical reacts with water in your eyes to release sulfuric acid, which burns your eyes and could potentially hurt them. Your eyes tear up to wash away the sulfuric acid before it does any damage to them.
