Using essential oils as a natural aphrodisiac

Essential oils have been used for centuries as a natural aphrodisiac. Try this aphrodisiac diffuser blend the next time you want to set the mood. Ylang Ylang is one of my favourite essential oils for romance and for enhancing libido. It encourages attraction and also supports the circulatory system. Ylang Ylang blends very well with any citrus oil. I love the combination of Bergamot and Ylang Ylang, it is deliciously sensual. The Hawaiian Sandalwood in this blend is a wonderful compliment to the floral and citrus oils and is very earthy and woodsy.

Essential oils are effective as a natural aphrodisiac because their “natural chemical composition works quickly on the circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive systems when applied to the skin (usually diluted),”

How to use Ylang Ylang essential oil to increase your libido.

Ylang Ylang is considered one of the most powerful essential oil aphrodisiacs. It has a beautiful soft floral scent and blends well with citrus or wood oils which is why I love this diffuser blend so much!

Essential oils can help ‘get you in the mood’ through aromatic or topical use. If stress levels are increased, using essential oils can help calm a stressed mind. When energy levels are low, many oils can be used to uplift and energize. Ylang Ylang can help boost your libido and also help to reduce stress which may be the cause of low libido.

Ylang Ylang is great in this diffuser blend to increase sexual desire because it has a positive impact on your mood and well-being.

Try applying Ylang Ylang essential oil on your abdomen. Be sure to dilute with a carrier oil to avoid any sensitivity. Apply in a line from just below your belly button to just above your pelvic bone. This lovely tip is from another essential ‘oiler’…and wow, this is amazing! This is another great use along with this diffuser blend to increase sexual desire and pleasure.

Using Bergamot essential oil to increase your sex drive.

Bergamot is another one of my favourite oils for enhancing your sex life. Citrus oils are wonderful to support your emotional health. Bergamot essential oil is very calming yet uplifting and can help increase energy and reduce stress and anxiety. When diffused, Bergamot may also help reduce any negative feelings. And, the aroma is simply divine.

Sandalwood essential oil to help balance hormone levels and increase libido.

Hawaiian sandalwood essential oil is one of my favourite oils for its many uses in my personal care routine. This oil is amazing for your skin and hair. And it’s a great calming and relaxing oil and has a long history of being used for meditation. Sandalwood is a natural aphrodisiac and can help combat low libido by balancing testosterone levels and is beneficial for both men and women to increase libido.
