Aphrodisiacs are substances that stimulate sexual desire and increase vitality necessary to realize this feeling. The name aphrodisiacs has its roots in greek mythology, when the goddess of love, Aphrodite, achieved the favor of Zeus’s love with the help of a magic belt in which love, desire, and seduction were contained.

Over the centuries, aphrodisiacs have been viewed from different perspectives. And since people do not have access to Aphrodite's magical belt, they have to turn to nature. And in order to exert its effect, an aphrodisiac must “come into contact” with the human body.

Aphrodisiacs can be taken in different shapes: in the form of teas, drinks, products. Previously, mixtures of herbs were used, which were smoked or used as incense. Odors acted on the body through olfactory receptors, and when smoking they entered the blood through the lungs.

Various oils and ointments were also prepared, which were rubbed into the skin, and these substances acted on the skin. Later, people began to look in the plant kingdom for substances that could induce desire. Some of the plants were edible, some were used as medicine, and many of the plants were deadly poison. Many plants, while helping some, did not have the desired effect on others. And many plants were simply forgotten because of the side effects they had on the body.

Some foods also have aphrodisiac properties, such as: nuts (any), honey, chocolate, black and red caviar, basil, parsley, olive oil, strawberries, bananas, dates, coconut, mango, avocado, spices, etc.

But, since today we are talking about aphrodisiac essential oils, we will return to them. Moreover, this topic is interesting not only to women, but also to men.

In love, essential oils will help put you in the right mood. So, how does essential oil act as an aphrodisiac on the body?

Essential oils - aphrodisiacs - promote the release of pheromones - biologically active substances that act as a form of chemical bond between a man and a woman. They are secreted by special glands located directly in skin humans and act on a subconscious level, causing sexual arousal.

When released, phenomons are perceived by the olfactory organs and transmit a signal to the cerebral cortex, thereby causing attraction or desire.

And some aphrodisiacs contain substances that stimulate the formation of sex hormones and cause a rush of blood to the genitals, thereby increasing their sensitivity.

Essential oils act on the brain by stimulating the release of endorphins. Endorphins are hormones that are also called the “happiness hormone” or “joy hormone.” These hormones cause a feeling of happiness, heighten feelings and desires during sexual intercourse, and also make a person more relaxed and free. In addition, endorphins help normalize the functioning of the cardiovascular system.

Aphrodisiac essential oils remove barriers in the form of shyness and complexes, increase desire, and increase sensitivity.

Essential oils aphrodisiacs for women and men.

First of all, you should like the aroma of the oil. The oil should harmonize you, thus creating self-confidence, which is very important. Fragrances are applied to a clean body, this applies to both men and women. As an aphrodisiac oil, you need to choose an oil that both will like.

Fragrances should not be applied to large quantities, the aroma should be light. So that a man, for example, wants to “reach out” to you, to find out what you smell like. And also, you need to choose the method of using the oil, that is, it is an aroma pendant, an aroma bath, an aroma massage, or aromatic perfume.

For a bath, you need to dissolve the oil in cream, milk, honey, you cannot drip oil into the water, otherwise it will remain on the surface of the water when you get out of the bath, the oil will remain on your skin, and as you know, oils can cause skin burns. For aroma massage, essential oil must be diluted with base oil by 10 ml. base oil (about 2 teaspoons) you need 4 drops of essential oil.

The oil you like can be used to scent linen; to do this, apply a few drops of oil to a napkin and place it next to the linen. In just 1-2 days, your laundry will smell fragrantly of your favorite oil.

This list of oils can still be continued, but I would exchange all these oils for one single rose oil; the way it smells is simply indescribable. And according to research by American scientists, lavender oil can also be classified as an aphrodisiac. And every fourth person chooses spicy scents for themselves.

But, you need to give preference to the oil that you like best. I would like to note that good essential oils are very expensive and are not sold in regular pharmacies, no matter how sad this may sound, I was convinced of this myself. A list of companies producing high-quality essential oils can be found in the article ““.

Also remember that all oils need to be tested so that you are not allergic to them. I think that after reading about aphrodisiac essential oils and their properties, you will be able to choose the right oil for yourself.

It has already been proven that almost 90% of all information that can influence feelings we receive through smell. It turns out that our love or dislike for a person largely depends on smells. Moreover, fragrances have the same effect on both women and men.

There is a close relationship between the sense of smell and sexuality. People with a well-developed sense of smell usually have no problems in the sexual sphere. But if, for some reason, your own sense of smell does not help you sharpen sexual desire and dulls sensuality during sexual intercourse, then essential oils with aphrodisiac properties will come to the rescue.

Essential oils act on receptors and cause a nerve impulse that stimulates the release of endorphins. This “happiness hormone” can enhance not only sexual desire, but also all the feelings experienced during sexual intercourse - passion, erogenous receptivity, sensuality. This effect can occur not only when we inhale essential oils through the nose, but also through contact with the skin. Taking this into account, essential oils with aphrodisiac properties are very often used in erotic massage.
