WHY?

But...why?

Screaming can help let out pent up emotions “[Screaming] creates a chemical reaction that is similar to the one you get when you exercise—you get a dopamine hit and some endorphins going.” —psychotherapist Zoë Aston, BACP (accred). During these challenging times letting out a scream can be a healthy way to release your emotions. We encourage people to scream in creative and private places to help you get out of the house. I recently had a nice scream in my hot tub underwater. 

Eastern Medicine which has been practiced for well over 2,000 years touts the benefits of screaming. According to Dr. Lu a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine recommends screaming to help with Liver Chi stagnation. The liver in Chinese medicine can become unbalanced from stress-relieving the stress can be done by moving screaming or doing yoga.
