Break ups. They can be devastating for sure and sometimes you’d do just about anything to get your ex back- including using something like a “love potion” like pheromones. Many guys and girls are intrigued by the idea that there are pheromones that can help them win their exes back, but is it true?

Well, the truth is that getting your ex back is about more than the topic of pheromones, as there are probably plenty of factors involved. However, when you combine pheromones with you getting YOU in order emotionally, socially, financially, and so on, you’re more inclined to actually win him or her back.

But before we can discuss whether or not pheromones can help your get your ex back, we must first discuss what exactly pheromones are and how they are used.

What are pheromones?

Pheromones are a chemical compound that certain sweat glands excrete in order to relay a message. Essentially, it’s your scent. The secretion is often used to impact the behavior of the same species (in your case, your ex) and warn off different species (those you would not be interested in romantically).

There are many types of pheromones that can be used depending on what message needs to be relayed. There are alarm pheromones, food pheromones, sex pheromones, and others that may affect behavior and physiology.

Pheromones help, but you must also do some changing

Chances are you and your ex had some defects of flaws that clashed, which led to the relationship ending. Now, before you target pheromones as your sole source of trying to get your ex back, you must take a look at YOU and commit to making some changes that need to be made. Surely there is room for improvement in some areas and at the very least, you want to keep living your life day to day doing the best you can to evolve and grow. Sure, pheromones may help, but in addition, each must evaluate what was wrong in the relationship and strive to adjust and change what caused the relationship to end.

Your pheromone levels will change as you do

Great news is that your attitudes and behaviors affect your production of pheromones. By changing your daily routine and behavior, the chemicals in your body will begin to change as well. Becoming more confident and outgoing will release a different pheromone or scent that can change how your ex perceives you. He/she will be attracted to those pheromones, or at least that’s the goal.

Now, there are certain ways that you can change your pheromones on your own.  If on a normal day you wake up and roll out of bed and stroll off to work, maybe you can try getting up earlier and pampering yourself. Take a long bath and eat a healthy breakfast. Or perhaps you can hit the gym after work instead of going home to plop on the couch for five hours of Netflix. A change in a routine will not only make you feel better about yourself, but can also alter the chemical composition of your body, helping you emit more powerful attraction pheromones.

Diet may also change the chemical make-up of your body. Eating junk food and fast food on a regular basis is not only unhealthy, it also is full of toxins that can affect the pheromones in your body. Try preparing a healthy and hearty meal that makes you feel good, not only while you’re making it, but when you’re eating it as well. Fruit is a key ingredient in everyday life and their antioxidants  will help detox the negative and unhealthy pheromones in your body.

Watch out for stress

Stressors play one of the biggest influences on the type of pheromones that are produced in your body. It’s important to eliminate any undue stress in your life like:

• Working more than you need (workaholic)
• Taking on too much or trying to please everyone
• Being irresponsible with money
• Worrying about things that you can’t change

Being able to relax and enjoy life will take a weight off of your shoulders and thus, create a different kind of pheromone that may be more attractive to your ex.

Get happy and confident

Now when it comes time to start trying to get your ex back, you have to show them that it is possible that you can live a happy and healthy life without them. This will portray confidence and personal happiness that you achieved on your own and could possibly be carried over into a relationship.

Once you have the attention of your ex, you must utilize everything you have been changing and provide proof of the change. Taking charge and showing that you are strong and independent are small examples of how you have changed and can relay a message of confidence. Personal touch and affection are keys to any relationship and must be used to ensure a relationship works.

By changing your daily routine and personal hygiene, your body has changed its chemical makeup and thus excreting a newer and more attractive pheromone. These changes are only going to work if your ex is willing to make a change and willing to make the relationship work again. If your ex is not willing to put effort into a new relationship, then it’s probably for the best. Do not worry, the changes you have made were not necessarily for them, but for you.

Can pheromone products help?

Research indicates that synthetic pheromones like Nexus Pheromones, for example, can surely help you come across as more attractive. In fact, the pheromone selling industry has been huge in recent years due to the studies showing how using pheromones helps when it comes to scoring more dates and yes, even getting exes back.

So whether you’re producing more romantic pheromones due to positive lifestyle changes, or you purchase pheromone products, using pheromones can increase your chances of getting your ex back. Still, if it does not work with your ex, at least you can feel confident that you made the effort. Continue growing and mastering your life (and pheromone levels) and you will be able to smile knowing that you can indeed have the kind of life (and partner) you desire.
