Essential oils have many fragrances and properties that alter our mood and well-being. There are oils for relaxation, focus, energy, and happiness, so of course, there are essential oils that promote feelings of love, lust, warmth, and passion.
You may feel a bit lackluster for many reasons, but one way to start getting your mojo back can be through good nutrition and simple natural beauty routines. Taking long, steamy baths or showers with indulgent natural beauty products containing potent plant-based ingredients can go a long way in getting in touch with our senses.
Enter essential oils. Those potent plant fragrances not only smell good but have properties that activate our brains and change the way we feel. Adding essential oils with these qualities to our beauty routines, recipes, or daily rituals can add an element of seduction, love, and fire to spice up our lives.
What Makes An Essential Oil An Aphrodisiac?
Essential oils have potent properties that affect the nervous system, provoke emotions, and alter mood. They stimulate the emotional part of the brain, evoking feelings of warmth, stimulation, and desire.
While certain essential oils have long had a reputation for being aphrodisiacs, every person reacts to different scents, so experiment with different blends to find what appeals to you.

The Best Ways To Use Aphrodisiac Essential Oils.
Essential oils are potent, so handle them with care. Essential oils on the skin need to be diluted correctly in carrier oils. Carrier oils that are great for the skin include;
Diffusers and Oil Burners – Some Essential oils are better in diffusers and oil burners than on the skin. Avoid putting oils like Cinnamon, Clove, or Ginger directly on the skin. Citrus oils are also photosensitive; avoid direct sunlight for up to twelve hours if used on the skin.
Massage Oils – Use aphrodisiac blends of essential oils in massage oils, avoid any sensitive, intimate body parts, and focus on the back, shoulders, legs, and feet.

How Best To Blend Aphrodisiac Essential Oils.
How you make up your oil blend depends on how you use it. Consider whether it has skin contact or how long it will be on the skin. Essential oils used while bathing will wash away, whereas perfumes or lotions will be in skin contact for much more extended periods.
Start small; the best way to see which oils resonate with you is by using diffusers and oil burners. If you love the scent of a particular oil, use that, but blending with other oils can have many benefits and create a more subtle scent.
