1. Rose<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a reason roses are the main flowers given on Valentine\u2019s Day! Rose<\/strong> is known among herbalists as an amazing heart medicine<\/span>, both physically and emotionally. It invokes positive thoughts, romantic<\/b> feelings, relaxes nerves, and brings feelings of self-confidence. It takes about 60,000 roses to produce just 1 ounce of oil, so it can be expensive, but a tiny bit goes a long way for this strong floral fragrance.<\/p>\n

2. Jasmine<\/h2>\n

Jasmine<\/strong> is interesting because its fragrant flowers only bloom at night<\/a>. Jasmine is an aphrodisiac and relaxes, soothes, uplifts, and enhances self-confidence<\/a>. It can help with problems<\/a> such as premature ejaculation, frigidity, impotency, and various other sexual disorders. While jasmine oil is an essence, rather than a true essential oil<\/span>, it can still be mixed with your other oils for a romantic and sensual blend<\/em>.<\/p>\n

3. Ylang ylang<\/h2>\n

This is another oil with a passionate and arousing action<\/a>. Ylang<\/strong> has the ability to harmonize the our emotional and sensual sides, releasing the fear of sensuality. It also promotes attraction, contributing to the many reasons it is so well known as a romantic oil<\/em>.<\/p>\n

4. Neroli<\/h2>\n

Neroli<\/strong> comes from the orange flower, so it is citrus-y, sweet, and floral. It is known to be calming, aphrodisiac, and sedative<\/a>. It mixes well with all the other oils in this list, and can provide a nice citrus note<\/em> to essential oils that can become a bit strong for some people.<\/p>\n

5. Sandalwood<\/h2>\n

Sandalwood<\/strong> is antidepressant, antiviral, immune stimulanting, calming, astringent, aphrodisiac, and sedative<\/a>, among other qualities. It is sensual, woody, and makes a great base note against other lighter oils. Since it relaxes and awakens passions<\/em>, it is a perfect component in a Valentine\u2019s Day blend.<\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day Essential Oil Blend Recipe<\/h1>\n

This blend can be put into an essential oil diffuser<\/em>, mixed with water for a room spray<\/em>, or blended with a neutral carrier oil<\/em> (like jojoba, grapeseed, avocado, or fractionated coconut oil) to make a massage oil. The proper dilution is 12 drops of essential oil to 1 fluid ounce of carrier oil<\/strong>. Do not use essential oils directly on your skin!<\/p>\n
