Intimacy + Essential Oils
I’m going to keep this as PG as possible, but we are grown ups so I am also going to be honest. All humans have a basic need to love and to feel love. So talking about intimacy isn't really something that we have to be awkward about. It is something we all have in common. Physical intimacy can be affected by health issues, past experiences, and emotional well-being. Essential oils provide a natural and very effective way to affect your mood, to stimulate passion, and reduce fatigue too. Many oils contain aphrodisiac properties which enhance and stimulate passion and sexual arousal. Aphrodisiac = a thing that stimulates sexual desire.
Bedroom Oils:
Lavender - Eases feelings of tension, calms, and relaxes
Sandalwood- Aphrodisiac, enhances and uplifts mood. Diffuses to lessen tension and balance emotions
Clary sage - Warming oil, enhances libido and supports the Endocrine system
Geranium- Calms and relaxes. Dilute to give your partner a sensual massage.
Clove - Promotes healthy blood circulation, stimulates and energizes
Ylang Ylang - Stimulant, supports a healthy libido
Patchouli - Improves circulation, raises body temperature, and enhances mood
(Others include: Neroli, Jasmine, Passion, Rose, and more)
