Introduction To Essential Oils

By


Essential oils are useful in bringing out your sensual side, bringing a positive change emotionally, mentally or spiritually. Some oils can trigger your pituitary gland and act as an aphrodisiac.
Aphrodisiac is a substance that enhances or helps stimulate passion and sexual arousal. Some sensual oils can be combined into an effective mixture that can be used to heighten the effects of a Tantric massage.

For example a mixture of erogenous (arousing sexual desire) and calming oils can be combined to give, not only an aphrodisiac effect, but a numbing and dozy one as well, which can come close to putting you or your partner in a dreamlike state.

Below are the introduction of essential oils and some suggested blends of essential oils specially use for couple massage or you can just use as one scent. All essential oil are preferred to be protected from sunlight. It should be stored in dark bottles in dark places.

Warning:
Do not use pure essential oils, even diluted essential oils, on the genitals or other sensitive areas of the body. It is necessary to blend the essential oils with 'carrier' oil.

Kindly refer to this link to learn more about carrier oil.

I would encourage you to add a brief paragraph to this hub on how to blend (ratios) and what carrier oils to use. Most essential oils should not be used straight:)
