Oxytocin has a positive effect on our mood and emotions and plays an important role in human bonding.

November is often considered the month when we can acknowledge and be grateful for the positive things in our lives. It’s a month where people around the world can come together to give thanks, whether it's to celebrate religious or seasonal holidays. It’s those emotional connections with loved ones and friends at a special time of year that are so rewarding and pleasurable.
