Integrating Aromatherapy into Daily Practices
Incorporating aromatherapy into daily practices can significantly enhance sexual wellness and intimacy. Here are some effective methods:

Taking a bath with essential oils can create a relaxing and healing environment. Add a few drops of essential oils like Ylang Ylang, lavender, or jasmine to your bathwater. The combination of warm water and therapeutic scents can help relax the body, release tension, and enhance intimacy.
