Researched studied the properties of oxytocin and came to the conclusion that it affects the psycho-emotional sphere of people, causing a more benevolent disposition towards others. It can also reduce feelings of anxiety and help overcome mild phobias.
Studies have shown that high levels of oxytocin reduce anxiety in people. This hormone contributes to the socialization of people. In addition, it is safe for health, has no contraindications and is not addictive to itself.
Oxytocin makes people more sympathetic and less awkward, according to University of California neurology professor Paul Zak. “We found that the hormone makes the shy person more interested in other people,” he explained.
In addition, oxytocin spray has been tested in the United Kingdom and the United States in people with autism. “Oxytocin does not cure autism, but it masks the symptoms of the disease very well. The patients’ feelings of anxiety are significantly reduced, they can even come into contact with other people, ”the doctors noted.
The discovery can make life easier for many in a wide variety of situations, from a job interview to the need for a frank conversation with household members.
Thanks to a kind of “love drug”, which is naturally produced by the body during sex or birth, millions of people will soon be able to get rid of various phobias.
