inducing menstrual cycle


Pheromones are chemical substances that are secreted in trace amount to the surroundings, in order to facilitate communication among organisms. These chemicals cause certain responses in the life activities or behaviour of the organisms. Pheromones help in attracting mates, informing the availability of food, determining the path of travel, informing about dangers etc.
