Oxytocin Necklace

Oxytocin is an important social bonding hormone. Whether you are falling in love, having a baby, or even just meeting a friend for lunch, oxytocin is involved.

Within groups, oxytocin is critical to the establishment of trust and moderation of fear responses. It is also sometimes referred to as "the cuddle hormone" because of the role it plays in romantic relationships. Oxytocin is even measurably increased by petting a dog and facilitates human-pet bonding.

Motherhood... friendship... love... oxytocin is a beautiful and meaningful symbol!
