    Essential Oils for Romance & Sensuality | Mukha Yoga

    If the aphrodisiacs like chocolate, oysters, maca, and asparagus (wait, what?) are passé for the sex drive department, then try a little aromatherapy to rev those cuddly engines.

    One thing is clear about aromatic odors: they are personal and subjective. What smells good to me may smell like dirty socks to you. Given this brief disclaimer, test your sniffer on these essential oils to amplify intimate moments.

    How to use essential oils for romance

    Use a carrier oil like almond oil, coconut oil, witch hazel, or water (in a diffuser or warm bath) as the base for inhalation or a massage treatment. Do not apply full-strength essential oils to the skin as direct exposure may cause skin irritation. Use one drop of essential oil to one teaspoon of carrier. Discontinue use of the oil blend if one of you exhibits any allergic reaction.
