Our next Happy Hormone, the O in D.O.S.E. is Oxytocin

Oxytocin’s functions include being a hormone that promotes bonding and trust and a neurotransmitter that helps regulate stress responses and calm the nervous system, helps foster love, connection and recognition of people and promotes empathy.

Passing over to all of you: What ideas do you have about how you could harness Oxytocin? @Shaz51 @Captain24 @june23 @7cough9 @Medicated

Some ideas for oxytocin for me might be playing/ cuddling with my dog, or complimenting someone 🙂

Yes. I love these. Loved ones and supportive others, including animals, are wonderful. I'm thinking oxytocin might be a little the warm and fuzzy hormone, based on all this warm fuzziness all your answers are giving me! ❤️

A few other ideas for harnessing/ boosting oxytocin:

  • humour
  • warmth
  • tea, specifically chamomile- so @amber22 @june23- I believe you were both onto something!
