Oxytocin is known as the love hormone. This powerful chemical is released when you cuddle up, have s*x, or bond socially and plays an undeniable role in in establishing and maintaining relationships. It plays a role in human behaviour such as trust, bonding, social connections and ties, empathy and more. This hormone is also related to serotonin and dopamine. Whenever we are with someone that we are attracted to or care about, our brain releases dopamine, serotonin levels increase and oxytocin is produced. You can elevate your oxytocin levels naturally by cuddling animals, hugging your loved ones, have meaningful s*x and by practicing breath meditation on the heart chakra 💚
