I have to tell you, I may be a little obsessed with Valentine’s Day. I realize it’s a made up Hallmark holiday that’s goal is to get us to buy more stuff and feel horrible if we don’t have anyone to celebrate with. But, I just love it! But enough about that, let’s talk about sex!

Let’s be honest right here and now, absolutely no one has the perfect Sex Life. Sex is one of the most amazing and intimate things we can experience and often times it is clouded with guilt, shame, pain, unsaid expectations, and awkwardness. If you are even lucky enough to be one of the few women who actually feels comfortable talking about it with your friends (chances are it’s that silent issue – everyone wants to talk about) you’ve probably heard your gal pals complaining about their low libido.

“I just have no sex drive. He would have it everyday, but are you kidding me? That would mean I have to shower!” or you want it way more than your partner and he is one with the low libido. Whatever the case may be, we could probably use some help. Sexuality, to me, is the unspoken spoke of the overall well being wheel. We chat about how to be balanced emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually and even financially – but God forbid we work on balancing our sex lives. So naturally when we are truckin’ down the road of life our rotation is going to be off. Ultimately your sexuality is creating or holding you back from feeling fully alive. So let’s jump in and I’ll share some of my favorite oils for enhancing a Healthy Sex Life.

Remember, our sense of smell is incredibly powerful for accessing the limbic system of our brain and thus can effect our libido and hormones. Aromatherapist, Dr. Naresh Arora explains, “The essential oils do magic and stimulate the pituitary gland, the master of endocrine gland, which controls hormone production. Inactiveness of pituitary gland can lead to low sex drive. So, the oils help keep it in an active state.”

TOP OILS TO ENHANCE A HEALTHY SEX LIFE

Ylang Ylang – This has been traditionally used as an aphrodisiac and is great for both you and your partner. This is a very sweet and floral scent that has a similar smell to Jasmine. It has a very calming effect on the body and heart and can relieve that occasional anxious sexual feelings that arise from time to time. Emotionally it really fosters a feeling of love, security and serenity.  This is the oil that is said to boost that libido and help you get in the mood baby.

Application: Diffuse – Follow some of the recipes below.

Clary Sage – I love this oil, it has been a life saver for me. This oil has a deep sweet nutty flavor. This oil can be described as euphoric. It has been traditionally used to promote hormonal balance within the body, which if your hormones are out of whack you will definitely experience low libido. This oil helps you become very relaxed and has some sedative properties to it. It can help to release the tension and stress of the day and can help ease you into a more sensual state.

Application: Apply a few drops on the bottoms of the feet and forearms daily

The Blend for Women – This is a delicious Blend of Patchouli, Bergamot, Sandalwood, Rose Absolute, Jasmine Absolute, Cinnamon, Cistus Absolute, Vetiver, Ylang Ylang, Cocoa Bean Absolute, and Vanilla Bean Absolute. This to me is the woman’s power perfume and essential oil blend. Every single oil in this blend helps bring about confidence, joy, peace, and elevates emotions while helping to reduce stress. This blend is also powerful for balancing our the hormones in our body. Everyone woman should wear this every day.

Application: Apply to the bones on the back of the ear, and well as the wrists and heart center daily.

Cinnamon Bark – Cinnamon smells divine and is known to be a powerful brain tonic. It has long been know to enhance energy and reduce fatigue. But most importantly for today, it is the oil of sexual harmony. “Cinnamon strongly supports the reproductive system and helps with sexual issues. It assists individuals in accepting their body and embracing their physical attractiveness. It nurtures healthy sexuality. It rekindles sexual energies when there has been repression, trauma or abuse. It can also bring clarity to souls who struggle with their sexual identity.” –Daniel McDonald

Application: This is a VERY hot oil, so dilute 1:4 to carrier oil. Diffuse regularly with other oils like Bergamot, Patchouli, Orange, and Frankincense. Also can apply a couple drops to the big toe and ankle known as the reflexology points for your libido.
