Nasal spray promises happiness

By: Newstalk ZB staff | Latest Health News | Monday August 6 2012 9:35

 

Bickering couples may soon have help, in the form of a nasal spray that promises to bring happiness.

The Daily Mail reports a study has shown that breathing in a compound containing the hormone oxytocin makes women calmer and friendlier and men more sensitive and positive during arguments.

Dubbed the 'cuddle drug', oxytocin is naturally made in the body and is involved in sex, sexual attraction, trust and confidence.
