Sensual Aromatherapy to Overcome Sexual Difficulties

 

Essential Oil Recipes to Overcome Sexual Difficulties

Vaginal Dryness

Lack of vaginal secretion can make intercourse difficult, uncomfortable or even impossible. Some of the factors affecting secretion include hormone imbalance such as experienced at the menopause, the contraceptive pill or negative emotions.

A simple solution to this problem is to apply a small amount of jojoba to the vagina. However, this is only a temporary remedy.

For the long term, essential oils which increase vaginal secretions (especially those that imitate the hormone oestrogen) should be used in the bath (6 drops) or in massage blends (3-4 drops to 10 ml of carrier oil).

Take a daily bath with one of the formulae and use the massage recipe every day for a week and you should notice an increase in secretion.

Bath formulae to overcome vaginal dryness

2 drops clary sage
1 drop geranium
3 drops rose

Or

2 drops fennel
2 drops geranium
2 drops lavender

Or

1 drop melissa
2 drops neroli
3 drops sandalwood

Alternatively, use any of the oils mentioned in the formula singularly.

Massage formula

Impotence

A temporary state of impotence can happen to any man. The cause may be physical or emotional exhaustion, nervous tension, lack of confidence or a symptom of illness. Some drugs can affect the libido such as valium and librium. Whatever the reason the following essential oils are invaluable. Choose any three or use one of these suggested recipes: amyris, basil, black pepper, cardamon, celery, clary sage, coriander, cinnamon leaf, cumin, geranium, ginger, jasmine, lavender, patchouli, rose, rosemary, rosewood, sage, sandalwood, thyme, violet leaf, ylang ylang.

1 drop cinnamon
1 drop coriander
2 drops ginger
1 drop rosemary

1 drop clary sage
2 drops ginger
1 drop jasmine
2 drops sandalwood

Or

2 drops black pepper
2 drops ginger
2 drops rosewood

NOTE:- Dilute it in 15 ml of carrier oil

Massage one of these formulae into your partner paying particular attention to the lower back, the upper abdominal area and upper thighs. Make sure that you avoid the genitals. Apply the oils for approximately ten days and have a daily bath using about four drops of ginger and two drops of black pepper.

For men who suffer with premature ejaculation the following blend should be effective:

  • 1 drop benzoin
  • 2 drops marjoram
  • 1 drop vetivert

NOTE:- Dilute it in 30 ml of carrier oil

Bach Flower Remedies

The word 'impotence' has an enormous stigma attached to it and can put a strain on a marriage or partnership, resulting in endless rows and eventually can cause a rift in a relationship.
Since impotence is often of emotional origin the Bach Flower Remedies are invaluable.

Larch is a wonderful remedy for boosting a lack of confidence and feelings of inadequacy; White Chestnut is useful for the worries which a man has concerning his virility; Olive is essential for exhaustion whether physical or emotional; Mimulus is excellent for fear of failure.

Frigidity

There are many factors which contribute to a lack of sexual response. The hormone which is responsible for the sex drive in both men and women is testosterone. Levels of testosterone vary not only between males and females but also among women. Those with high testosterone levels have a strong sexual appetite. Anxiety, or fear, perhaps from some traumatic experience in the past, can actually cause levels of this hormone to deplete. Fatigue and stress due to pressures with work, money or family will also lower the sex drive.

Boredom and lack of sexual satisfaction can also result in frigidity. Some women have never experienced an orgasm. If a man takes his partner for granted and does not indulge in any foreplay then this will eventually lead to sexual unresponsiveness or even aversion.

Lack of libido may also be caused by stress and exhaustion. If a woman is working and has several children to look after no wonder she loses her sex drive.

Essential oils to combat frigidity

Clary sage, ginger, jasmine, neroli, rose, sandalwood, and ylang ylang are all effective. Any of these oils can be used in your daily bath to stimulate and renew your interest in sex.

Massage formulae for frigidity

2 drops clary sage
2 drops jasmine
2 drops ylang ylang

Or

1 drop ginger
2 drops rose
2 drops ylang ylang

NOTE:- Dilute it in 30 ml carrier oil

Use one of the recipes above for about ten days. The oils should be applied particularly to the upper thighs, abdomen and lower back.

Bach Flower Remedies

For the majority of women frigidity is of an emotional origin and the Bach Flower Remedies can be helpful. If the problem arises from exhaustion then Olive is the recommended remedy.

For fear of sex Mimulus can help to ease the problem. Honeysuckle is beneficial where the woman has suffered a traumatic experience in the past such as rape. If this has led to a sense of being 'dirty' and 'contaminated', then Crab Apple would be beneficial. Wild Rose is helpful for those who suffer from boredom and have a submissive approach. Willow is invaluable for the anger and resentment which the woman may experience if her partner is unable to satisfy her needs.
