Oxytocin Therapy Elmhurst IL

How does Oxytocin therapy work?

Oxytocin is released naturally during moments of closeness—skin contact, hugging, and intimacy. When administered through nasal spray, oxytocin reaches the brain quickly and activates emotional and sensory pathways associated with pleasure, bonding, and well-being.

Oxytocin enhances the sensitivity of erogenous zones, stimulates spontaneous nerve activity in the genitals, and intensifies sexual climax. In women, it can lead to stronger and even multiple orgasms. For mothers, it may support emotional recovery and help reduce symptoms of postpartum depression.

Synthetic oxytocin can be delivered via nasal spray or pill form.

At Accelerated Aesthetics, we offer an oxytocin nasal spray. Primary uses of oxytocin therapy, especially when administered in a nasal spray, are:

• Enhancing orgasmic response and sexual pleasure
  
• Supporting emotional intimacy and bonding
  
• Alleviating symptoms of postpartum depression
  
• Elevating mood and reducing social anxiety

Why an Oxytocin Nasal Spray?

The nasal cavity is lined with a thin mucous membrane filled with blood vessels and capillaries.

When administered nasally, oxytocin easily crosses this thin layer of cells and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream and brain, making it ideal for emotional support, intimacy enhancement, and postpartum wellness.

Nasal sprays allow oxytocin to travel from the bloodstream to the brain more quickly than an injection would, making it the preferred method of supplementation.

Who can benefit from Oxytocin therapy?

Oxytocin can be prescribed to help treat Female Orgasmic Disorder, Female Arousal Disorder or for those women who just desire a more powerful orgasm or multiple orgasms.

Recent research has shown that oxytocin therapy for women may have many other far-reaching effects, particularly when it comes to relationships and emotional involvement. Oxytocin is the reason why we form all sorts of deep connections, not only with our children but with our partners, friends and even our pets and is often called the “bonding hormone”. Oxytocin also plays a huge role in the non-procreative aspects of sex.

Research has shown that for women, not only is oxytocin released during orgasm, it appears to be responsible for causing orgasms in the first place. Research indicates that oxytocin causes the nerves in the genitals to fire spontaneously, and this leads to powerful orgasms. In women, during orgasm, oxytocin levels become stratospheric. During peak sexual arousal, if a woman’s brain is flooded with oxytocin, she may indeed be capable of multiple orgasms.

Sometimes called “the cuddle hormone”, oxytocin is released in response to a variety of environmental stimuli including skin-to-skin contact and cervical stimulation experienced during sex. At normal levels, oxytocin encourages a mild desire to be kissed and cuddled by your lover. Being touched (anywhere on the body) leads to a rise in oxytocin levels. This causes a cascade of reactions within the body, including the release of endorphins which results in both biological and psychological arousal.

The nerves in erogenous zones, such as the earlobes, neck and genitals, become sensitized by the effects of oxytocin. It promotes a bond of intimacy, closeness and desire which increases sexual receptiveness and the desire to be touched further—being touched further causes even more oxytocin to be released and so desire and arousal are heightened even more.

Given its ability to generate deep and profound emotional connections, and its ability to fuel feelings of sexual intimacy and desire culminating in powerful orgasms, oxytocin therapy for women really is the nearest thing to a love drug.

Oxytocin Therapy for Postpartum Depression

Low oxytocin levels during pregnancy may increase the risk of postpartum depression. Supplementing with nasal spray may help regulate mood and improve bonding during the early stages of motherhood.

A new study has shown pregnant women who have lower levels of the hormone Oxytocin may be at greater risk to develop postpartum depression. Oxytocin has been called the “cuddle hormone” or “hormone of love” for its ability to foster feelings of bonding and also to produce more frequent, powerful orgasms in women.

Oxytocin has also been linked to parenting behaviors. A study performed by researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland explores the relationship between oxytocin levels during pregnancy and postpartum depression, which affects as many as 20% of women. Gunther Meinlschmidt, Ph.D., was the lead researcher on this study at the university.

The study measured the oxytocin levels of 73 healthy pregnant women during the third trimester of pregnancy. The women were given written tests during pregnancy and again, two weeks after giving birth, to determine their risk of postpartum depression. Based on their test scores, 14 women were found to be at risk of postpartum depression. Lower oxytocin levels prior to giving birth were also associated with the 14 women.

This study may be a breakthrough in treating postpartum depression.

Symptoms of postpartum depression:

• Experiencing stress or moodiness after giving birth is normal. However, if these feelings last for more than a few weeks, it’s important to seek help, as these symptoms not only affect the mother, but also the child.
• Postpartum depression can include negative feelings toward the baby, lack of motivation, mood swings, appetite and weight changes and even thoughts of suicide.
