admin — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:04:11 +0000

Oxytocin spray may be used to successfully treat at least some forms of social anxiety, according to researchers at Concorida University. The researchers say that the naturally occuring drug oxytocin, if taken intranasally in the form of a spray, gave participants in the study a better developed sense of self-perception.

The research subjects were asked to inhale oxytocin spray and then write down how they felt 90 minutes later. According to the research team’s head Christopher Cardoso,

“Participants who self-administered intranasal oxytocin reported higher ratings of extraversion and openness to experiences than those who received a placebo…

…Specifically, oxytocin administration amplified personality traits such as warmth, trust, altruism and openness.”

Those people possessing the oxytocin receptor genes linked to social traits such as empathy and sociability can be spotted by complete strangers within 20 seconds, according to research published last week.

The researchers had volunteers view video recordings of social interactions of people who had been tested to see whether they had the genes linked to oxytocin production, and hence sociability. The team found that the volunteers were correctly able to guess which subjects in the videos had the oxytocin genes and which hadn’t – in as little as 20 seconds of viewing each interraction.

Oxytocin has garnered tremendous interest as a possible source of therapy for those suffering from social skills handicaps, such as the shy and even the autistic. Supplements, such as Oxytocin Factor, have even started appearing on the market already.

Can Oxytocin Spray Treat Depression?

admin — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 07:53:39 +0000

The possible health benefits and medical uses of oxytocin seems unending. A study this month has claimed that the hormone spray could even be used to treat those suffering from depression.

According to Dr. Ziad Nahas, a researcher at the Medical School of South Carolina, when depressed subjects inhaled the hormone, their brain activity began to more closely resemble that of healthy subjects.

Oxytocin has been linked to social bonding and attachment, said Nahas, and acts as a stress reliever. Since depressed individuals feel anxious and socially disconnected, oxytocin might help them feel less depressed.

Psychologists have long known that social functioning and having a solid social support network plays a key role in physical and mental health. The widespread use of Oxytocin has been trumpeted by some visionaries, such as the philosopher David Pearce, as a way of promoting both social and personal happiness. Another study seems to have confirmed that oxytocin could become a revolutionary product that could transform society.

Oxytocin Spray May Cure Shyness

admin — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 07:53:19 +0000

The emotional bonding properties of the ‘cuddle hormone’ oxytocin may be used as a treatment to help shy people improve their social skills according to researchers. The study, conducted at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in Israel, as well as Columbia University, indicated that oxytocin could improve awkwardness in people who are shy, although not it seems those who are naturally confident.

According to Jennifer Bartz, of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine :

our data show that oxytocin selectively improves social cognition in people who are less socially proficient, but had little impact on more socially proficient individuals.” While more research into the effects of oxytocin on shyness is needed, “these results highlight the potential oxytocin holds for treating social deficits in people with disorders marked by deficits in social functioning like autism

Oxytocin Spray Promotes Altruism

A Dutch university study published last week found that oxytocin spray can promote ‘protective altruism’ between unrelated individuals who see themselves as belonging to the same group. The researchers discovered that oxytocin appears to strengthen feelings of solidarity and protectiveness amongst the ‘in group’ whilst increasing suspicion and hostility to the percieved ‘out group’. The scientists speculate that the findings may point to a role for oxytocin on the battlefield, explaining feelings of comradeship between soldiers and hostility to the enemy.

Oxytocin Spray A Mother’s Hug

A popular name for oxytocin is the ‘cuddle hormone’, on account of the role that oxytocin plays in social bonding and feelings of empathy with others. A simple hug between partners, friends, or relatives, is known to raise oxytocin levels. Now a study into the effects of oxytocin has found that a mother’s phone call to her daughter can raise the oxytocin levels of the child as much as a physical hug or cuddle can. The findings are interesting because the shed light on the power oxytocin has in relationship building even via talk – in fact, in this case, solely through verbal communication.

Oxytocin Spray Makes Men More Sympathetic of Others

A further scientific study apparently confirms the remarkable properties of oxytocin spray – a squirt of oxytocin appears to make men more empathetic and able to sympathise with the emotions of others. These traits are of course, generally deficient in those suffering from autism. They are also popularly supposed to be more present in women than men.

Researchers showed soppy photographs to a group of men either given oxytocin nasal spray or a placebo. Those given the oxytocin spray reacted with more emotional empathy than the placebo group.

“The males under test achieved levels [of emotion] which would normally only be expected in women,” says a statement from Bonn University, indicating that they had cooed or even blubbed at the sight of the affecting images.

Oxytocin Spray for Autism

admin — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 07:48:31 +0000

In a study that involved people with high functioning autism (asperger’s syndrome), a research term found that oxytocin spray helped them to read people’s emotions and maintain eye contact – the first time that a substance has been demonstrated to improve the primary symptoms of autism.

Further details of the study are expected this week, but the findings appear to be the most definate proof yet that a lack of oxytocin plays a key role in social cognitive handicaps such as autism.

There is currently only one oxytocin spray that is sold commercially and not on prescription – Liquid Trust oxytocin spray.

Possible Uses of Oxytocin Spray

What possible uses are there of Liquid Trust Oxytocin Spray? The key element of Oxytocin is that it increases trust. That can mean strangers – for example the girl you are chatting to in the bar, or the buisness client you are giving the hard sell to. Or it could even mean yourself. Yes, oxytocin spray will have it’s effect on you just as much as others. This means that it will help you trust yourself – something useful for everybody from the chronically shy to the pick up artist who needs that something extra in order to be the Alpha Male and attract the tens.

But oxytocin spray needn’t just be used for those looking for casual sex. The ‘love hormone’ can also be used to build trust and affection between couples, perhaps even to save long term relationships. Researchers have found that both men and women have increased oxytocin levels after sex. It seems that oxytocin is nature’s way of helping male and female to pair bond after sex and to want to ‘stick around’ and support each other. Oxytocin spray might even be used by women who fear that their partner is, or is tempted to, stray. A few subtle puffs of liquid trust around the home (the spray has no scent) might be enough to save a marriage from being wrecked.

I’ve listed some of the possible uses of oxytocin spray below. Click here to purchase Liquid Trust Oxytocin Spray.
