Essential Oils for Intimacy – Be Who YOU Truly Are

By Caryn Gehlmann

Do you feel a little disconnected from your loved ones at times? It happens to most of us… you’re on the run, you’re going and doing, and then when the time comes when you have a moment to connect with your loved ones and you struggle to stay present. When that happens it’s hard to connect with others and enjoy meaningful intimacy — whether that’s sexual intimacy with your partner or emotional intimacy with a close friend or family member. Essential oils for intimacy can help you find and enjoy those moments of connection again.

Besides our busy, even chaotic lives, what is another challenge to intimacy? Oftentimes it’s a lack of confidence. We don’t trust ourselves so we struggle to trust others. I appreciated this quote from author Geneen Roth, “Intimacy is not something that just happens between two people; it is a way of being alive. At every moment, we are choosing either to reveal ourselves or to protect ourselves, to value ourselves or to diminish ourselves, to tell the truth or to hide. To dive into life or to avoid it. Intimacy is making the choice to be connected to, rather than isolated from, our deepest truth at that moment.”

I want to share with you two essential oil blends, Adventurous and Courageous, I created to help boost intimacy. However, please know that these might not be the best blends for you and that’s okay.

Your blend of essential oils for intimacy are the ones that make you feel present, connected, and confident.

Different scents impact us differently so don’t be afraid to experiment and listen to your nose! And if you do want to use them to spice up your romantic connection see what scents your partner likes as well!

e3’s Adventurous Blend

This blend was created to help you reconnect and ground yourself when your mind (and body) is tense and distracted. I know for me, it helps me tap into my inner confidence and joy. I like to make a spritzer I can mist on the back of my neck and behind my knees. Each time I wear it, someone asks what scent I’m wearing. It’s a lovely, intriguing scent.

Nervous tension and worry can melt away with the bright scent of Orange. And the lovely combination of Patchouli and Ylang Ylang can address underlying lethargy, emotional coolness, and low libido.

e3’s Courageous Blend

Intimacy can require courage at times. In order to feel close to someone, you need to reveal who you really are. That’s isn’t always easy.

e3’s Courageous synergistic blend of essential oils elicits feelings of confidence, perseverance, and heart-centered strength from the Black Spruce and Ho Wood. While also benefiting from the stress-reduction of the Blue Tansy, and emotional stability of the Frankincense. Deeply breathe in its strengthening influence and you’ll be ready to connect with your loved one as your body relaxes and your mind clears.
