Aphrodisiac essential oils

If you weren't aware of them, aphrodisiac essential oils can be a real discovery to improve certain aspects of your relationship: they help ease tension and blockages, opening you up to emotion and playfulness. They are very important for learning to deeply listen to emotions and create a ritual of pleasure with your partner. Deep listening to essential oils harmonizes moods and allows contact with consciousness. How? Aromatic molecules convey a message to the thalamus, an area of the brain connected to instinct and emotionality. This can lead to awakening hidden propensities, improving the relationship with oneself, and encouraging openness to others.

Aromatherapy with aphrodisiac essential oils

So how does aromatherapy with aphrodisiac essential oils work? The sense of smell influences the reactions of the vegetative system, directly connected to the sensation of pleasure. A clear example of this process is the attraction to another person's natural scent, a component that significantly affects partner choice.

The molecules of aphrodisiac essential oils interact with an ancient and instinctual part of our brain, helping to relieve stress, strengthen self-esteem, and awaken imagination.

It is important to maintain this connection with your senses, sharpen and cultivate it day by day, and use it to achieve new goals. In this, essential oils prove to be a great help.

Massage with aphrodisiac essential oils

Massage is an excellent way to pamper yourself, play, and achieve a high level of intimacy. I suggest using a vegetable carrier oil (or a dollop of neutral cream for those who don't like oil) as a base, to which you can add a few drops (5 or 6) of your chosen essential oil. Before starting, it's good to prepare for the massage by warming your hands together.

Aphrodisiac essential oils for him

Patchouli: an essential oil reminiscent of woods and exoticism. Its deep aroma connects to the earth, linking body and mind. It ignites erotic fantasies: if appreciated by both, it is useful in cases of lethargy and emotional coldness. Its slow vibration works on the lower part of the body, on instinct, and on grounding. It acts favorably on the nervous system, reducing anxiety and tension.

Vetiver: gives the depth of a root, reconnects to the earth.

An intense and earthy aroma, willful and deep, fascinating. It magnifies strength, balances temperament.

Ginger: rebalances energies that are not in harmony, helps awaken and warm dormant senses: it activates sexual energy, particularly male energy.

Rosemary: acts positively on the central nervous system. It warms and invigorates sexual energies, warding off the fatigue of the day. It brings clarity of thought, strengthens memory and concentration, helps discern between feeling and rational thought.

Sandalwood: This wood-derived oil is known for its aphrodisiac power. Its subtle action encourages the more meditative and introspective aspects of sexuality, making it suitable for those who tend to experience this aspect of life superficially. It transforms sexual energy, elevating it to the spiritual plane, and releases blocked sexual energy.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon is characterized by the energy of fire: it is an aphrodisiac spice that stimulates sexually and is warming. Enveloping and stimulating, it develops creativity and improves blood circulation. It is perfect for enhancing warmth in a couple and for starting over after minor love traumas.
