How Plushies Can Help with Mental Health
For many of us, plushies are more than just cute, cuddly toys or ways to express ourselves, they provide important emotional support too.
There are stuffed animals that help with anxiety. The tactile sensation of holding a soft, comforting object that we have an emotional connection to can be incredibly soothing as it releases oxytocin, the feel-good hormone.
Plushies can also help you unwind at the end of the day with something soft to cuddle up with. Weighted plushies are especially recommended for anxiety and sleep aids.
Plushies have also been studied recently to help dementia and Alzheimer's patients, people coping with loss and grief, people suffering from depression, and a variety of other mental and emotional issues.
