Aromatherapy Essential Oils to Spice Up a Love Life

Ladies did you know the simple smell of pumpkin spice might be enough to increase your man’s desire for you? Men would you like to know how to get your special lady in the mood? Well let’s take a look at how using aromatherapy essential oils to spice up a love life works. Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses explosive aromatic plant materials, known as essential oils, for the purpose of improving one’s mood, cognitive functions, or health.

Aphrodisiac name came for the Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sensuality and love and is a substance that is used in the belief that it increases sexual desire. Now, I guess this a good place to say that essential oils, herbs, foods, chemicals, or any other substance will magically or immediately arouse someone that does not want to become aroused. Even drugs like Viagra are not aphrodisiacs; they simply assist a man’s system to function as it should if he does wish to engage in intimacy.

Individuals that have medical problems, that are emotionally or physically exhausted, lacking proper nutrition, suffering from anxiety or depressed, and or under stress will have a more difficult time enjoying intimacy. However, the substances in essential oils that are considered aphrodisiacs are substances that can help to dissipate the emotional or psychological, and normal ranges of physical ailments like exhaustion and or stress that might be interfering with sexual desire or arousal.

Aromatherapy and aphrodisiacs have been known to appeal to the senses, uplift one’s mood, calm and ease anxiety and or depression, relax the body and reduce stress.

O.k. now that the we’ve describe to you what it is let’s get to the fun part of taking a look at the aromatherapy essential oils to spice up a love life.   The nose can be one of the most sensual oracles if one will just slow down long enough to enjoy the aromas around them.  Have you ever walked into a bakery and had memories of the favorite things that your mom used to make.  Or entered into a flower shop and remember that certain special guy or girl you haven’t seen in a long time.  Well these are examples of how smells can ease the mind and bring back good or bad memories. 

So the key is to find those aromas that will “light your fire” for a sensually sexual experience.  Essential oils that you find sensually stimulating or that can relax you and ease the stress of the day away can act as an aphrodisiac for you.  This will require some experimentation on you and your sexual partner’s part because everyone’s olfactory nerves are the same.  In other words what smells pleasant to one person may smell bad and or indifferent to another.

Please note: The video above and the rest of the videos in this hub is just to add emphasis on the effect that aromatherapy can have on individuals; I am not personally endorsing any of the products. Believe it or not pheromones have been traced back to the primal beasts an in many animals it is the driving force that entices that special lover and increases sexual passion and attractiveness.

Lavender - Ladies the most powerful scents to use on your man are pumpkin spice and lavender.

Rose - As a final note let’s talk about the essential oil scent of a rose. The rose supposedly has aphrodisiac properties that are appealing to both men and women to get who and what they want in life. Roses are sent on Valentine’s Day, they are sent on anniversaries, used in weddings, and sent to woo that potential new love. Since, roses and lovers just seem to go hand in hand and are usually associated together, it just makes sense that it would work well as an aromatherapy essential oil.

As scents are inhaled, the aroma travels across the olfactory nerves located inside the nose and then it moves up to the part of the brain called the Limbic System that controls our moods, memories, and the ability to learn.

When this area of the brain is stimulated it releases endorphins, neurotransmitters and other “feel good” chemicals that can ease one’s emotions and assist in putting one in the mood. Needless to say there are numerous varieties of essential oils that one can try that will tantalize ones thoughts and imaginations.

As stated earlier many aromatherapy essential oils can relax you, while others lifts one’s spirits and decreases one’s inhibitions. So begin your experience with a ready nose, an open mind, and a willing heart to explore the new heightened awareness that you and your partner might discover about each other.
