Description
Did you know knitting and crochet can reduce anxiety and release serotonin?
Precise handwork occupies the brain enough to take our minds off our anxiety. It creates a sense of calm, much like meditation.
The rhythmic, repetitive motions of yarn crafts can also release serotonin, which is a natural analgesic and antidepressant associated with feelings of happiness.
Making art and expressing your creativity can help reduce cortisol levels, lowering stress and offering a host of potential health risks.
The mental health benefits of knitting and crocheting can also improve your physical health.
