This floral terpene has a strong reputation for inducing relaxing effects that may make it a perfect fit for nighttime relief.Shining A Light On Linalool — What CBD Fans S...

(CNN) — Humans are hardwired to love, according to biological anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher. She is a senior research fellow at the Kinsey Institute who has spent much of her career studying love and attachment.This drive is so essential and buried so deeply in our brains, Fisher said, it actually lives right next to the circuitry that controls some of our most basic functions.“The little factory that pumps out the dopamine that gives you the feeling of romantic love — called the ventral tegmental area or VTA — it lies right next to the factory that orchestrates thirst and hunger,” she told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on his podcast, Chasing Life.“It’s way below the cortex where you do your thinking, way below the limbic areas with the emotions.
