Monthly Focus International Hug Day - January 21 st Hugging, a simple act of physical touch, is more than just a comforng gesture. It plays a significant role in our psychological and physical health. Hugging releases oxytocin, known as the "love hormone," which enhances social bonding, reduces stress, and promotes feelings of happiness and trust.
