Whether you are single, married, dating, or any of the gray areas in-between, having a healthy libido is more than important.

Low libido is the first sign of a plethora of other health issues (and also just generally isn’t very fun) – so it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

A quick google search will reveal a plethora of articles but not a lot of satisfying answers on how to enhance our desire for sex.

While there are a lot of environmental & lifestyle considerations at play when it comes to typical internet suggestions – I wanted to pin down a few alternative tools that could be kinder to your wallet & long-term health:

…irregardless or your lifestyle preferences.

Here are my favorite Libido boosting essential oil go-to’s:

Sensation

A wonderfully fragrant, powerfully romantic blend that is extremely uplifting and refreshing. Sensation is a blend of Ylang Ylang, Coriander, Bergamot, Jasmine and Geranium Essential Oils

Rose

Cleopatra bathed in rose petals and she was onto something. Rose soothes the senses, and is typically associated with spiritual & physical love. This fragrant heart opener is both sensual and romantic and helps sooth grief from emotional trauma. Rose will also make you feel happier, relieve anger, jealousy and relationship conflicts. Good for anyone who feels distant from their emotional centre.

Rose essential oil is distilled to gently release the delicate flower’s oil through steam. Because each 5-ml bottle requires 22 pounds of rose petals, Rose oil is one of the most valuable essential oils you can acquire.

Ylang Ylang

Means “flower of flowers” in Malayan language and is one of the most powerful essential oil aphrodisiacs. In Indonesia, Ylang Ylang flowers are scattered on the beds of newlyweds to promote desire and bless the union with children. Its floral scent increases sexual desire, encourages attraction and supports the circulatory system. Emotionally, Ylang Ylang fosters the feelings of love, security and serenity.

Clary Sage

Often described as “euphoric,” Clary Sage has traditionally been used to promote hormonal balance within the body. It will help to release the tension and stress of the day and ease you into a more sensual state.

Clove

An aphrodisiac in nature, Clove serves as an excellent stress reliever. It has a stimulating effect on the mind and removes mental exhaustion and fatigue.

Clove is the highest-scoring single ingredient ever tested for its antioxidant capacity on the ORAC scale.

Black Pepper

Black Pepper possesses a pungent, crisp aroma that is both comforting and energizing. This is a warming, spicy oil that strengthens circulation (wink wink). It can stimulate the appetite; you know which one.
