The uses of oxytocin nasal sprays
Lately oxytocin has been attracting huge media and scientific interest. Oxytocin has been called many things from the “cuddle hormone” to “liquid trust”.This article is going to look at some of the reasons people use oxytocin and oxytocin nasal sprays. It will also look at the effects of oxytocin upon humans.
Oxytocin is a hormone, and therefore, a naturally occurring substance produced by the human body. Women have this hormone in their systems to a greater level than men, and it has been found to increase during and after child birth, giving scientists the first indication that the hormone may play a role in the psychological bonding between mother and child. Further research has found increased levels of Oxytocin are associated with feelings of less stress and greater trust and empathy, leading the hormone to earn the media tag of ‘the love hormone’ or ‘the cuddle hormone’.
There has recently been an explosion of research across various institutes across the world seeking to confirm the role of Oxytocin in creating empathic psychological states and its consequent possible benefits in treating psychological problems ranging from social anxiety to autism and schizophrenia.
Oxytocin cannot be absorbed into the body by means of ingestion, therefore it is unlikely that a pill based form of oxytocin will ever be released. The only two effective methods of delivering oxytocin the the receptors in the brain are by injection and inhalation. As this article is not aimed at the medical use of oxytocin but solely the recreational use I will not discuss further the method of injecting oxytocin. Not only is it dangerous but oxytocin destined for injection is controlled by the medical board.
Nasal sprays on the other hand are convenient and a lot safer than IV. It is perfectly legal to own and utilize an oxytocin nasal spray. This form of oxytocin use is becoming more and more popular as many people are enjoying the benefits it can bring to both their social and romantic endeavors.
