Thus far, we know that essential oils are great for a whole whack of things, for example, to heal stress, coughs and colds, indigestion, and other health concerns, but would you believe me if I said that oils can be used to IMPROVE your sex life? And I don't just mean for a sexy massage! Here are 5 reasons that aromatherapy can help:
1. Oils can act as an aphrodisiac – which in case you didn’t know are substances that stimulate sexual desire. This one is pretty self-explanatory. Certain scents awaken your wild side! Or at the very least, bring back memories of previous sexual romps, so every time you smell a certain smell, you’re turned on ;)
2. Oils can effect emotion – they can appeal to the senses, uplifting one’s mood, calming and easing anxiety or depression and relaxing the body to reduce stress. So how is this relevant? The key is to find a scent that relaxes you and your partner and perhaps lifts your spirits, before engaging in the fun stuff! No body wants a Debby-downer in bed!
3. Oils can also increase confidence – which is a pretty big deal for those who are very shy in the sack. Certain scents like Sandalwood or Frankincense can help you become more at ease, and self-confident!
4. Oils can also aid with physical ailments that may otherwise be holding you back – Oils such as Jasmine can be helpful for curing several sexual disorders like early ejaculation, frigidity or impotence.
5. Lastly, for all of those people in long-term relationships who are just too tired for sex, oils can help you overcome fatigue, so NO excuses! Scents such as Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Peppermint are awesome for this. Perhaps try a Eucalyptus steam bath with your significant other before getting down. That’s sure to get you up and running!
On a side-note, if you're looking for a good scent to turn you or your partner on, vanilla is one of the most sensual scents, having a euphoric effect on the brain. Plus is smells like cupcakes :)
