Reassures and Comforts

The need for human touch does not fade as we grow older. Babies and the elderly appreciate human touch, as does everyone in between these age groups. By simply holding someone’s hand or cuddling, you can give the gift of love and nurturing. People who are given cuddles, hugs and kisses on a regular basis feel reassured and comfortable. They tend to be more at ease and feel as though things will be okay.

Builds Confidence

Some people are not good at expressing how they feel about someone. They can’t say they love them, but they use human touch to show them. Whether it’s holding hands, kissing or making love, human touch is a way to physically express love without having to talk about it.

Promotes Healing

Human touch promotes healing. It increases the number of immune cells in the body which promotes the healing of various physical and mental ailments. Human touch also improves behavior.

Human touch is something that everyone needs. It has phenomenal healing properties and can deeply affect an individual’s experience of life in a positive way. When in doubt, reach out and touch someone you love.

    I believe human touch is the next best thing after, the eyes, you can judge someone by how they look at people, and you can judge them also by touch, as touch is the gateway to sincerity !

    THANKS for this article on HUMAN TOUCH! I am a REFLEXOLOGIST and yesterday I offered three one hour foot rubs to clients, two with various health ailments (diabetes/high blood pressure/ prostate gland issues) and one with EMOTIONAL ISSUES re: a close relative who is terminal, etc…all clients felt and observed SUCH IMMENSE RELAXATION as WELL AS INCREASED STRENGTH AND ENERGY, with the acceptance that DETOXING was going on in all of their body cells as well. YES! THE HUMAN TOUCH IS HEALING, RESTORATION, REVITALIZATION AND REJUVENATION ….ALL IN ONE. THANKS FOR YOUR ARTICLE! IT IS WELL RECEIVED.

    You are so right on in your article about the human touch. I was so lucky to have parents who knew how to hug and hand-hold. And, now after 45 years of marriage and 45 plus years of being with my special guy who also knows about hugs, caresses and hand-holding, well… it just makes you feel that everything will be okay.

    I just wanted to say that I agree with you totally about everything that you said about the human touch but sometimes a person wants to hear the words not just go through the motions. And sometimes a person gets tired of making love because too much is too much. Too much of anything is no good. I mean it feels like he just wants me around for sex and that gets tiresome, and I know in my heart that he does not respect me so I have no other choice but to go my own way and find someone who does. Enough is Enough!

    I liked this article. I think it is very important to touch as well. I feel like I have a hard time expressing love and end up expressing negative emotions as a defense.

    Thank you!
