Holding hands eases the pain.

When someone you like touches you, it can calm you down and make you feel at ease, right? Similarly, placing your hand on a spot that hurts—like when you have a stomachache—can sometimes bring relief.

In medical contexts, there’s even a term “oteate” (literally, hand care), which some say stems from the soothing effect of naturally placing a hand on the body in everyday life.

You may also have experienced feeling relaxed or happy when touched by someone you trust.

One reason is oxytocin, a hormone synthesized in the brain.

Often called the bonding hormone or the happiness hormone, oxytocin is said to increase through contact and physical affection with close others.

That’s why touching or holding hands can ease pain and bring a sense of calm.
