Most women have heard of the many aphrodisiacs that can help to foster a better love life. Oysters, chocolate dipped strawberries and other scrumptious foods come to mind. Many women, however, have no idea about the ability of aromatherapy oils to jumpstart the libido. The use of these essential oils to aid in sexual activities has been used for centuries in a number of different cultures. Cleopatra herself is said to have practiced aromatherapy to seduce Marc Anthony.

Aromatherapy oils need to be carried onto the skin by carrier oils, since they are entirely too concentrated to apply directly. Carrier oils can be purchased in many health food or specialty stores and are often known as base oils or as vegetable oils. Some of the most popular scents include grape seed, sweet almond, sunflower, avocado, jojoba and olive oils.
Different oils cause different reactions to mood. Your sense of smell is directly tied to the area in the brain that deals with memory and emotions. This is why certain scents can instantly remind you of a fond childhood memory. Spicier scents are believed to help people feel more energized, while floral scents cause you to become more relaxed and sensual. Many of these essential oils can be found or added to massage oils to increase the sexuality of both you and your partner.

The following is a list of many of the essential oils that have been known to produce a positive response in the areas of love and sexuality.

• Rose is a deeply floral scent that promotes relaxation, as well as love, compassion and a strong feeling of sensuality.
• Vanilla is a warm, sweet scent that promotes feelings of love, compassion and security.
• Jasmine is known as a more comforting smell with warm and floral undertones. Jasmine has been used for centuries. Indian women used to put jasmine in their hair when they wanted to seduce their mates.
• Ginger produces a warm and woodsy scent that promotes a warming feeling when used in massage oils. It has been known to increase endurance and many South Asian women have used it for centuries on their wedding days.
• Clove, although used as a home remedy for toothache, gives off a spicy and rich aroma that also produces a warming feeling when applied to the skin.
• Ylang Ylang has been used in China for many years and is often mixed with clary sage or geranium to produce a floral scent that increases stimulation.
• Cedar Wood produces a warm and woodsy aroma, much like Ginger, but contains properties that promote confidence and strength. Cedar Wood has a soothing scent that also promotes relaxation and serenity.
• Finally, Clary Sage when used alone produces a nutty scent that promotes a warming effect on the skin and also helps to increase vitality.

Aromatherapy is used in many candles and other scent warmers to give off a sensual and romantic atmosphere. These essential oils can instantly transform your bedroom, as well as your mood, and can help you to give your libido a jumpstart.
