Aromatherapy for a scorching sex life
Ever wondered why Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Sensuality, used rose petals in her love den? Why Kamasutra heralds the use of itars and scents? Or for that matter, why our ancient Vedas dedicate the entire Vajrakaran Tantra to the use of aromatic oils?
Well, the reason is a little complicated and lies in one of our six senses!
Our sense of smell stimulates the nerve endings of the olfactory bulb, which lies at the back of the nose, which in turn stimulates a part of the brain called the limbic system that triggers our libido. The essential oils do magic and stimulate the pituitary gland, the master of endocrine gland, which controls hormone production. Inactiveness of pituitary gland can lead to low sex drive. So, the oils help keep it in an active state.
Aphrodite and Vatsyayan had cracked the secret way back. So, if your libido is letting you down, it's time to treat yourself to some sweet smells to get back in action.
Aromatherapy oils are a sensual way to fire up the libido. The molecules of oils are so small that they can mingle in the bloodstream rapidly and are carried to all parts of the body. Natural scents present in aroma oils bear a key importance when it comes to sexual attraction. Some scents are overpoweringly arousing aphrodisiacs for women.
The aromatic oils known for their aphrodisiac qualities are cinnamon, bergamot, cedarwood, chocolate, vanilla, lavender, roses and patchouli.
Aromatic oils that make for great aphrodisiacs are:
Ylang Ylang
Sexual prowess : Considered one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs, ylang ylang increases libido and attraction between lovers. It energises you, intensifies eroticism and is good for sexual experimentation.
Wanna try? Just place a cotton bud dipped in ylang ylang near your bed and witness its magic! (Yes, just one drop of ylan ylang is enough!)
Caution: Do not use too much of it, for before taking you into a state of euphoria, it can cause headache and nausea.
Rose otto
Sexual prowess: The oil works best for women, especially when it comes to balancing the hormones. It has a tonic effect on the reproductive organs, and can work best to boost sexuality.
Wanna try? Go ahead, pamper her. Give her a soothing love massage...
Jasmine
Sexual prowess: Jasmine enhances mood and adds to the energy levels. Traditionally, it is used to combat frigidity, impotence and premature ejaculation, thanks to its powerful erogenous effect.
Wanna try? Blend it with sandalwood, citrus oils and rose and go for an aromatic bath.
Caution: Women are advised not to use jasmine oil during pregnancy.
