Oxytocin is known as the cuddle hormone, the bonding hormone and the love hormone. We, women and men, release oxytocin and it plays an important role in our lives.
This chemical in the brain effects our feelings of happiness. Its level can be increased in different ways. Chamomile, singing and yoga can help us naturally have more oxytocin.
Researchers have shown that massage can also increase the oxytocin level and reduce cortisol (as stress hormone).
