Why Have Sex? That's a good question. Especially if you have been in a long term relationship, sex seems like one addtional chore or obligation that one needs to make time for in their busy life. Its really easy to loose interest in it, once it becomes same old, same old. Agreed?
Well, having sex is a good idea merely because it is a good way to burn alot of calories fast. It is also a good way to keep your relationship on track. What can you do if you simply don't feel like it? ever...?
Counseling is out of our realm but Ylang Ylang is one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs and can help you get motivated for the big 15 minutes or so you will need to be engaged.
Ylang ylang is a gentle oil that is rich in esters. It sooths the nervous system and allows you to relax. Another reason it is not a whole essential oil, meaning that it is processed differently from other essential oils. In a 2005 study ylang ylang was found to reduce the pulse rate while at the same time increasing alterness and arousal. All good conditions for having sex.
So now we've established that we must have sex for diet and for our relationship. We've established that ylang ylang works on relaxing the pulse rate as well as the nervous system while at the same time increasing alertness and arousal, so how do we use this very powerful smelling oil?
It can be used in an inhaler along with other essential oils. The chemicals of the scent will travel immediately to the brain and into the limbic system where ylang ylang will begin to do its work. Ylang ylang can also be added to a lotion along with other oilsin a blend that it won't over power. Check out http://www.omstonearomas.com/ for intstructions on how to blend. Happy Luvin!

Warm up Aging Sallow Skin Tone Fast!
Here's a secret that few people will tell you: sallow, devitalized skin can add years to your appearance. Dewy, smooth skin, supported by collagen is a sign of youth.
Of course you can add collagen with dermal filler. While dermal fillers can fill in wrinkles and hollow under the eyes it can not polish and brighten the skin. So here's a trick: peppermint hydrosol.
Peppermint essential oils can rev up blood circulation to the skin, giving it a brighter appearance, however, peppermint essentential oil can actually burn if placed directly on the skin. The superb smelling peppermint hydrosol however, contains just a fraction of peppermint oil. All the same, caution is urged and it is suggested you test it on your wrist.
To one teaspoon of peppermint hydrosol add 4 drops of fennel and 5 drops of frankincense. Fennel is considered beneficial to smoker's and dull skin. Frankincense is gentle and smoothing to the skin. Calms dry irritated skin. Stir oils well into peppermint hydrosol.
Blend the hydrosol and oils with one ounce of the cream. Patch test for reaction. Apply small amount to skin and watch your skin brighten up!

What is a Hormone and What Does it Have to Do with Essential Oils?
Nearly everyday we hear someone complain of a hormonal imbalance. When we do we nod our heads sagely and tsk tsk in sympathy. How many of us have actually stopped to wonder what a hormone is and how hormones are impacted by essential oils?
A hormone is a chemical messenger secreted by the endocrine gland. A hormone will impact the function of another part of the body. Growth hormone impacts the long bones. Sex hormones impact sexual development and stress will cause the body to secret cortisol.
This article is not meant to be used in lieu of medical treatment. If you suspect you have a hormonal imbalance seek out a doctor to address your concerns.
So essential oils will mimic the effects of estrogen and in some people throw off the homostasis of the body. Lavender should not be used by women who have had estrogen based cancers. Other essential oils that can imitate estrogen include clary sage and geranium.
You can reduce stress and the production of cortisol by using oils such as sweet orange, bergamot and spearmint which are uplifting. Other oils to relieve stress and induce sleep include rose essential oils and melissa.
