Oxytocin releases when singing, laughing and when we are very frightened lest we need to defend ourselves. It helps us to identify the correct emotions of others so that we act more appropriately in social situations. Oxytocin supports our generosity, our ability to nurture and bond, to lactate, to experience systemic breast orgasm and team player consciousness.. . . the list goes on and on. But you just can’t take Oxytocin in high doses – that is not the way it is done, and it can damper its effectiveness. Check out the LEARN section of our site for details on why exogenous doses are not effective, and how you can tease out your own healthy level of oxytocin hormone.
