The Oxytocin Factor: Tapping the Hormone of Calm, Love and Healing | Kerstin Uvnäs Moberg

The Oxytocin Factor by Kerstin Uvnäs Moberg is a ground breaking look at “the love hormone,” and its role in everything from childbirth and bonding to human relationships.

Oxytocin is the hormone involved in bonding, sex, childbirth, and breastfeeding, as well as in relaxation and feelings of calm. It is the mirror image of the stress hormone (adrenaline), which triggers the “flight or flight” systems in the body. The potentially beneficial applications of this hormone in reducing anxiety states, stress, addictions, and problems of childbirth, are not only fascinating but of great significance to all our lives.
