We can always use a little spicing up in the bedroom and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner there no better time then now! However before you head to the drugstore to grab those lubricants and massage oils in the intimate section let me fill you in with some of their ingredients. They are typically loaded with chemicals that are found in industrial cleaners. Toxins like parabens, petroleum-based ingredients, glycerin, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol and chlorhexidine. YUCK! Do you really want to start your romantic evening with that on your body? I sure hope not!
Our body is our largest organ so when we apply oils and lubricants to our skin and delicate parts they are getting absorbed into our bloodstream. So it’s best to choose a good quality base for a massage oil like a coconut oil or almond oil that are organic and cold-pressed.
Our sense of smell is directly linked to the limbic system which plays such a big role in our lives. It’s the most primitive part of the brain that is associated with our memories and emotions. Essential oils can be used by both men and women to increase their libido and get you in that sensual mood. Check out just a few of these amazing essential oils that Young Living offers to use in the bedroom to spice things up.
1. Ylang Ylang: It has a sweet exotic floral aroma. Ylang Ylang can be worn as a perfume or when looking to spice things up in the bedroom you can apply it to your lower abdomen or thighs. It can be applied neat or with a little bit of coconut oil.
2. Goldenrod: A great one for the men in your life. With the name Goldenrod do I need to say more… it will make a man feel like a king. This oil can be applied neat or with a little bit of coconut oil to the lower abdomen, ankles or vita flex points.
3. Joy: Made with bergamot, ylang ylang, lemon, coriander, tangerine, jasmine, Roman chamomile and palmarosa, I like to make a roller bottle and apply it to my neck and wrists. You’ll need a 10 ml roller bottle, 15 drops Joy essential oil and then top it off with a carrier oil.
4. Mister: Mister is a blend of Sesame seed oil, Sage, Fennel, Lavender, Myrtle, Yarrow, and Peppermint. A perfect blend to make as a massage oil for the man in your life. It also pairs nicely with Idaho Blue Spruce.
5. Sensation: Made with coriander, ylang ylang, bergamot, jasmine and geranium. This oil makes a wonderful pillow/bedding spray to set the mood. This very romantic oil will surely get the attention from your husband.
