How to Naturally Raise Your Oxytocin Levels for optimal growth, healing, relationships, and relaxation.
Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter and a hormone that is used for so much more than just labor and childbirth. In the past 20 years there has been more and more research studies that have revealed the many different functions and benefits of this very important substance. Though most studies to date have been done on animals, we may still greatly benefit from a deeper understanding of the importance of stimulating the release of this vital “love, connecting, healing, and self-growth stimulating” hormone in our everyday lives and relationships. Oxytocin is low in many chronically ill conditions according to studies such as chronic pain, depression, autism, schizophrenia and alchoholism.
What is Oxytocin?
Oxytocin which means “quick labor/birth” is both a neurotransmitter (signaling substance in the brain) and a hormone (acts in the body through the bloodstream) in the body that is involved with calming, releasing, connecting, growth, reproduction, healing, socializing, friendliness, curiosity, digestion, trust, and a recharging of energy.
