In this blog, I will tell you everything about oxytocin and why it is my favorite hormone. The hormone oxytocin, also known as the cuddle or love hormone, is a powerful chemical that is released, among other things, when we have skin-to-skin contact. And how wonderful is that!
Oxytocin as a neurotransmitter
Oxytocin is therefore not only a hormone, but also a neurotransmitter. It is released when we feel good about ourselves, for example when giving a nice hug. We produce it when we have sexual intercourse, or when we feel happy in our social circles.
Oxytocin triggers serotonin, which makes us feel happy. This happiness hormone, serotonin, inhibits the production of the stress hormone cortisol. This means that feelings of stress, sadness, anxiety, restlessness, and depression are reduced when you produce oxytocin!
So my advice is: cuddle away with your loved one and/or children or pet!
Lower stress levels even more with the Relax Support
Do you still feel stressed after cuddling, or could you simply use some more relaxation? Then I can recommend Relax Support . The supplement with ingredients that help you relax more. And this supplement helps you sleep well and wake up rested. Win-win!
