      Gelotology IS the study of laughter and its effects on the body.
      Why do you ask?

      Hello sjthescientist,

      yes, correct. This word comes from the Greek word gelio (meaning laughter), the verb is gelo (I laugh).

      according to the world wide web…thats absolutely right..the causes of and affects of laughter…some researchers do state that laughter boosts the immune system….so there may be something true about laughter being the best medeicine ( well one of them) But not be relied on by itself
