If you need eye drops for dry eyes â known as artificial tears â choose a brand without the preservative benzalkonium chloride, which can cause irritation, says Andrew Lotery, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Southampton. âYou tend to find it in eye drops that come in bottles,â he says.
Endorphins are natural opium-like hormones that are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus of your body. Endorphins act on your brain's opiate receptors to block their ability to receive pain messages from the sensory nerves. This makes you less sensitive to pain. Endorphins also work on your emotions.
They are made up of: 1  Glands located throughout the body; 2  Hormones that are made by the glands and released into the bloodstream or the fluid surrounding cells; and. 3  Receptors in various organs and tissues that recognize and respond to the hormones.
