I recall a short story by Asimov set in Spacers universe. A supposedly

this so the insulted earthmen would get back their vigor as an emotional
reaction. I forget the story name though.

Your plot description is slightly reminiscent of Asimov's "Mother
Earth", I wonder if that could possibly be the story you have in mind.

Probably - read it a long time back.
