The ‘love potion’ in fairy tales comes true! According to an Oxford University professor’s statement, ‘love potions’, which seem like something out of the movies, may be real. How Does? Let’s explain.
Oxford University evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Anna Machin said that there are four chemicals in the human brain that make us feel love: dopamine, serotonin, beta endorphins and oxytocin. Machin explained about brain chemistry that certain chemicals can be used as a medicine to improve your ability to find love and increase your odds of staying in love when the relationship goes bad.
Here is the raw material of that love potion: Oxytocin
Machin said that oxytocin is popular with commercial companies and can help people be more confident while dating and falling in love :
“Oxytocin creates the effect of having a glass of energy drink before going out for the night. Oxytocin also increases the likelihood of falling in love when taken before meeting with a relationship potential individual for the first time. Similarly, it can help mend relationships that have gone bad. But there are so many ethical questions and issues surrounding this topic, so research will likely take a long time.”
Machin says a ‘love potion’ can be produced using oxytocin. In other words, if ethical problems are overcome one day and an oxytocin-based love potion is actually produced, a scientific solution will be produced for couples who have problems in their relationships.
