It makes nine out of 10 people feel better, reduces stress, and may help to 
  keep the body healthy. It's also free, available to almost everyone, and has 
  no known side effects, other than wet tissues, red eyes and runny makeup. 
  Crying may not be a blockbuster drug, but the latest research suggests it's 
  highly effective at healing, and that it improves the mood of 88.8 per cent 
  of weepers, with only 8.4 per cent feeling worse. So beneficial is it that 
  the researchers suggest there may be a case for inducing crying in those who 
  find it difficult to let go.

A clue to the purpose of crying may lie in the experimental finding that 
  emotional tears contain different compounds from regular eye watering, such 
  as that triggered by chopping onions.
