Let's look at essential oils that may act as aphrodisiacs:
- Cinnamon has been chosen in studies as a favorite scent by both men and women. Brian researcher Daniel Amen, MD, says that cinnamon is the most powerful aphrodisiac for men. Other spicy essential oils for sex include ginger and nutmeg. (Interesting that these spices are also used in cooking, isn't it?
- Jasmine is seductive and sedating. It has been used in India as an aphrodisiac for centuries.
- Patchouli is another Indian aphrodisiac. It has a balancing, grounding component in its earthy fragrance that helps to ease anxiety.
- Rose is harmonizing, comforting, and romantic. (Cleopatra seduced Marc Anthony with it.)
- Sandalwood is close to human personal scent and creates an exotic, sensual atmosphere.
- Vanilla. In the early 20th century, a sex researcher found that workers in a vanilla factory were constantly sexually aroused from being around the scent.
- Ylang ylang is sweet and exotic. It is used for impotency and frigidity.
Myrrh, myrtle, and neroli may also be good for aromatherapy in the bedroom. Because scent is such a personal preference, you may have to experiment to see what works best for you and your partner.
You can add any of these essential oils (except maybe cinnamon because its too hot) to a carrier oil for massage. Here are a couple of massage blends.
5 drops rose or ylang ylang essential oil
10 drops sandalwood essential oil
5 drops bergamot essential oil
3 tablespoons carrier oil
or
5 drops sandalwood essential oil
2 drops ylang ylang essential oil
5 drops patchouli essential oil
2 drops clary sage essential oil
3 tablespoons carrier oil
For a bath, you can add five to ten drops of the aphrodisiac essential oils (not cinnamon) to warm water.
