I did not see the full comment related to this, but only the "how is the oxytocin absorbed so fast". I know of this being done as a lozenge. Ex: A portion of the placenta cut off and used placed in the cheek, like a buccal administration. So the absorption is actually through the mucous membrane of the mouth.
Not defending or endorsing this practice-just heard of it used that way to stop post partum hemorrhage.
