She was cooking when a pot of boiling water overflowed and hurt her leg. “It was painful,” she said, but she forced herself to use her own skills as medicine and tried laughing to reduce the pain. “As my husband drove me to the nearest hospital, I was sitting in the back seat laughing," Sanger told The Huffington Post.“It successfully stopped me from giving my attention to the pain.” Even forced laughter like Sanger's can have a great effect on the body,according to Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from India who developed laughter yoga,a practice that draws on the breathing exercises of yoga to produce therapeutic（有疗效的）results.The doctor wa researching for an article entitled “Laughter-The Best Medicine” when he made the surprising discovery that both forced and sincere laughter can affect our health.
