Aromatherapy as an Aphrodisiac ; Essential Oil Recipes for Love

Aromatherapy has, over the centuries, been used for countless purposes, including aiding the mind, body and spirit to heal, as well as having calming effects, and even help with beauty. But for many ancient cultures almost every one has well documented effects of flowers and their distilled oils on the human libido, and aphrodisiac aromatherapy is part of their makeup. From the ancient Egyptians, Romans, Aztecs and Sumerians come the passed down romantic helpers of jasmine, peppermint, lilies, sunflowers, and of course, roses. Logan Pearsall Smith pointed out in the late 1800s that flowers are the sex organ of the plant and flowers are actually the sexual representation of the plant. Hmmmm, no sexual innuendos there.
I agree with nepspeed82's blog--as it says,
"In order to raise our libido, we have to first raise our body temperature. The aphrodisiac essential oils are mostly warm, rich aromas, such as those that come from spices and certain flowers. Aphrodisiac aromatherapy can be tricky. It may take calculation. What one person loves, another might find ghastly, but on a very basic level aromatherapy is a natural aphrodisiac that works to calm, soothe, stimulate and reduce stress, or negative energy. Because impotence and frigidity is most often associated with stress, emotion and psychology, plants that work to calm and soothe while actively stimulating hormonal production and reducing stress and anxiety are key elements in an active and healthy sex life. Flower aromas can have strong psychedelic effect if not used appropriately but in moderation it is mild and aids in sexual health by improving the mental and physical aspect of the one smelling it. Some flowers though can have both an aphrodisiac effect through its aroma and/or via its connotation with lust, beauty, and pleasure."

Aphrodisiac Aromatherapy Recipe Blends:

Aphrodisia Blend:
4 drops Jasmine Absolute,
4 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil
3 drops Rose Otto,
4 drops Sandalwood,
2 drops Ginger,
2 drops Nutmeg
Add to 4 ounces of jojoba oil, or sunflower seed oil for a sexy massage oil. Your lover won't know what hit them when you rub this tantalizing oil all over them.

Sexy For Her:
4 drops Jasmine essential oil
3 drops Sandalwood essential oil
2 drops Patchouli essential oil
4 drops of Ylang Ylang essential oil
3 drops of Rose essential oil
3 drops vanilla absolute
Add this to 4 ounces of carrier oil, such as jojoba, fractionated coconut oil, or sunflower oil, or even a mixture of each.

Sexy For Him;
4 drops of Atlas Cedarwood essential oil
4 drops of Sandalwood essential oil
2 drops of Patchouli essential oil
3 drops of peppermint essential oil
4 drops of Lavender essential oil
3 drops ginger essential oil
Add this to 4 ounces of carrier oil, such as jojoba, fractionated coconut oil, or sunflower oil, or even a mixture of each.

Hot & Sexy Rub
3-4 drops cinnamon essential oil
1 drop clove essential oil
2 drops peppermint essential oil
1 drop ginger
1 drop jasmine or rose essential oil
3-4 drops vanilla absolute
This blend is absolutely lick-able! Add this to 2-4 ounces of organic coconut oil and massage the body. Be very careful as cinnamon essential oil is VERY hot, so you may want to try adding more carrier ( coconut oil ) to the blend to tone it down if it's too hot for you. Also, please note that if you are going to ingest any of these oils make sure to use only therapeutic grade essential oils as others may be harmful and very dangerous! And if this blend doesn't work to spice things up in the bedroom, then I'm sorry to say your lover must be dead. Maybe invest in some electro-shock therapy, or if all else fails try Viagra!

Warming Bath
2 drops Vanilla, Benzoin or Sandalwood essential oil
2 drops Ginger essential oil
4 drops Sweet Orange essential oil
Add these 8 drops of essential oils directly to a warm (or hot if you prefer) bath and disperse well - or blend with 1 TBLS sunflower, jojoba, grapeseed oil and/or 1-2 TBLS unscented bubble bath and add to a warm bath. Soak in the bath for 15-20 minutes inhaling the vapors. Do not get bath water in your eyes as it will sting. This spa treatment is especially excellent for winter time or when you have been suffering from a sickness, cold or chills.

Note's on Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils:
There's just nothing like therapeutic grade essential oils. And if you've never used essential oils before, read a primer I wrote on essential oils, what they are and the difference between therapeutic grade and most "on the market" essential oils called " Many Helpful Suggestions on Uses of Essential Oils " before delving into making any of your own blends.
