A hug is much more than a friendly gesture. It's a biological signal that activates safety and connection. When someone is hugged, oxytocin is released—the hormone that promotes trust, warmth, and calmness.
Hugs reduce stress, strengthen social bonds, and give the body a sense of stability. Even short hugs lasting just a few seconds have a noticeable effect.
Hugsback mimics this natural hugging effect. The deep, gentle pressure helps the body receive the exact same signal: you are safe, you can relax.
