Oxytocin: The Cuddle Hormone

Oxytocin is one of the most fascinating substances our body’s chemical factory has to offer. It is not only produced by women as their bodies prepare for childbirth and during breastfeeding, in which instances it was first discovered; its release is also triggered by feelings of love. This has led to its becoming known as “the cuddle hormone” or “the love drug.” Once it is released into the bloodstream, oxytocin attaches to special receptors in the walls of various cells, depending on what kind of tissue those cells are part of. This means the hormone can have a range of different effects. It increases our inclination to trust others and thus improves our social skills, so to speak. It seems that it really does turn us into nicer people. And healthier ones, too, since oxytocin has also been proven to promote the healing of wounds and to lower blood pressure. It’s a great all-rounder, known to have a calming effect and reduce stress. Ideally as a result of good sex.
