How is your month of Self Love going? Fabulously I hope! Today I am going to chat with you a little bit about aromatherapy and how you can use it to enhance your love life (even if your love life just consists of you). Aromatherapy can help create a more loving environment for you and your feelings about yourself.
Love is in the air, or at least it can be if you use a diffuser.
Aromatherapy has been shown to have a number of benefits. It appeals to the olfactory nerves that register smells from the nose and then carries those impulses to the brain. There are so many ways to use essential oils. You can put them in an oil for a massage, you can mix them with water and spray your sheets for a lovely atmosphere, you can heat them in a diffuser, or even put them in your bath water.
Here are some scents that would be great to use this month:
The scent of Jasmine is an aphrodisiac. It is a very sensual, intoxicating, scent and is perfect if you want to foster an atmosphere of self-love. It is also said to aid in arousal and induce a euphoric feeling. Plus, it smells reeeaaally good.
Rose is an oil that easily fits into this category. Roses are a symbol of love and desire and are perfect for facilitating love. Rose has been associated with Aphrodite/Venus, Goddesses of Love. This is a great oil to use to stimulate the heart chakra, which is in the center of your chest.
Sandalwood is also reputed as an aphrodisiac. Which is pretty interesting because its fragrance is similar to that of the human pheromone. You can also use vanilla, ylang ylang, and neroli, which have love and romance inducing properties.
I've had some readers ask me where I get my oils and if I know any good online retailers. I encourage you to go out to your local metaphysical shops and explore! Check out their oil selections buuuut if you are looking for a great online resource I recommend my new affiliate Escents Aromatherapy!
