This pill containers were given to all the people who have been hugged by the doctors
to spread both physically and scientifically the benefits of hugs.
It contains a small leaflet which explains what a hug produces
and explains also some benefits of it!
It has been printed on a 70g paper
which is the same of a real medical leaflet.
It doesn't contain medicine because the medicine is you
thanks to your hugs and body hormones!
A little chocolate candy is also given as a present

And so eating one is a good way to start producing it!
