Essential Oils for Reigniting Passion and Self-Love

Valentine's Day is more than just a celebration of romantic love—it's a beautiful reminder to nurture the most important relationship of all, the one you have with yourself. As women in our 40’s and 50’s, when we go through peri- and menopause we go through profound hormonal changes that can affect our emotions, self-confidence, and our libido. The below 5 Young Living Essential oils carry living energies that can support to rekindle both passion in relationships and a deep sense of self-love.

Rose fragrance to invoke sensuality

Before opening a bottle, take a moment to set an intention. Whether it's to release emotional blocks, reconnect with your sensuality, or simply invite balance into your life, essential oils respond beautifully to your heartfelt desires.

1. Joy Blend

Ingredients: Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Rosewood, Lemon, Mandarin, Jasmine, Roman Chamomile, Palmarosa, Rose

Originally named "Love Blend" by Gary Young, Joy is a divine, mood-lifting fragrance that I love to wear as a natural perfume. It's not just about attracting love from others; it's about creating an aura of joy and self-appreciation. In my essential oil classes, even the most skeptical participants can't resist its transformative effect. It gently dissolves emotional blockages, opening the heart to give and receive love. Often a lot of laughter is heard after participants applied the oil.

Gary Young told us the following story, many years ago:
He met a woman who had just started using Young Living essential oils. She approached Gary for advice because her husband forbid her from diffusing "her oils" at home, claiming they smelled bad. Gary suggested she put one drop of Joy into each of her husband’s shoes and diffuse the oil when he wasn’t home, making sure to air out the room an hour before he returned. After two weeks of following this routine, her husband unexpectedly came home early. Panicked, she couldn’t turn off the diffuser in time. But to her surprise, when he entered, he remarked, "What is that lovely smell?" Then he hugged her and told her he loved her—something he hadn’t done in their 30 years of marriage. This touching story shows how essential oils can work in profound, unexpected ways.

Usage:

• Apply one drop behind your ears twice daily as a heart-opening perfume.

• Diffuse daily for an hour to create an uplifting, loving environment.

• Drop one or two drops into your husbands shoes :-)
  

2. Rose

The Oil of Divine Love and High Vibration

Rose holds the highest frequency of all essential oils at 320 MHz, enhancing emotional harmony and cellular balance. It's not just for romance—Rose teaches us to fall deeply in love with ourselves. It opens the heart, releases grief, and fosters profound self-compassion.

Usage:

• Blend 5 drops with your favorite skincare for a radiant glow.

• Mix 5 drops with 100ml of V6 or virgin coconut oil for a luxurious self-massage oil.

• Add to your bath for a deeply nurturing, heart-centered experience.
  
  

3. Ylang Ylang

Reignite Sensuality and Emotional Balance

Ylang Ylang is known for enhancing intimacy and boosting libido, making it ideal during times when sensual energy is not at its highest. In Indonesia, its petals are traditionally scattered on the beds of newlyweds to inspire passion. Beyond its aphrodisiac qualities, Ylang Ylang also helps ease stress and supports emotional balance, making you feel more connected to your body and desires.

Usage:

• Diffuse for an hour daily to awaken sensuality and relaxation.

• Massage a few drops into the ends of your hair for a natural, exotic scent.

• Apply two to three drops onto the inner thighs to stimulate romance

4. Jasmine

Awaken Confidence and Feminine Power

Jasmine, the "flower of the night," is revered for its intoxicating fragrance and mood-enhancing properties. It's not just an aphrodisiac; Jasmine inspires confidence, joy, and emotional strength. It reminds us that we are radiant, sensual beings, no matter our age.

Usage:

• Diffuse for an hour twice a day to uplift your spirit.

• Apply over your heart to balance emotions.

• Dab behind your ears as a natural, alluring perfume that boosts self-confidence.

5. Stress Away Blend

Stress can dim our natural glow and dampen our connection to ourselves and others. Stress Away is a calming blend of Vanilla, Copaiba, Ocotea, Lime, Lavender, and Cedarwood, designed to melt away tension and create emotional spaciousness.
