After Valentine’s Day Love Potions
Healthy, Natural Options for Intimacy
I have some information many of you would appreciate—but might never ask.
So let me spare you the embarrassment while I metaphorically put on sunglasses, a hat, and an overcoat to share it with you.
When I was a young bride learning all the new rhythms of married life, a bedroom challenge popped up that I timidly brought to a trusted friend and mentor. With grace and wisdom, she explained that during certain seasons of life—and even certain times of the month—a healthy lubricant can make marital intimacy more comfortable and enjoyable.
(Okay… that may have sounded a little too literal—but you get the idea.)
Why What You Use on Your Body Matters
Before we talk recipes, let’s talk why this matters.
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. What you put on it doesn’t just sit there—it’s absorbed. That means products either support your health or introduce unnecessary toxins.
Many conventional lubricants on the market contain artificial ingredients, dyes, and additives that don’t build health—and shouldn’t be used on such sensitive areas.
Low libido has become a common concern for both men and women. Exposing our bodies to unnecessary toxins certainly doesn’t help. Toxins can affect hormones, drain energy, and contribute to fatigue—and let’s be honest, none of us feel our best when we’re tired and run down.
Time to Clean Out the Love Drawer
If you’ve got a secret drawer of products you haven’t looked at in a while, consider this your gentle nudge to clean it out.
Because I’m about to share a few simple, natural love potion recipes that may just become your new favorites.
The Simple Base That Changed Everything
After learning about the many benefits of coconut oil, my very creative husband started experimenting with different essential oil combinations.
The base was always the same:
High-quality coconut oil.
From there, he created a few different blends:
- Coconut oil + peppermint for a cool, invigorating, “wake up the senses” option
- Coconut oil + lavender for a warm, soothing, de-stressing blend
- Coconut oil + warmer essential oils (with a word of caution—some oils are very intense)
Let’s just say… oregano is not a friendly oil unless you enjoy the sensation of fire. 🔥
The bottom line?
Coconut oil mixed with your favorite essential oil can become your most trusted nightstand secret.
Storage and Simple Packaging Tips
Because coconut oil is solid at room temperature, it’s best stored in a container with a wide opening.
We keep our blends in simple 8 oz containers, ready to use. If you want something prettier, Pinterest is full of fun storage ideas.
Practical and pretty—win-win.
Why Coconut Oil Is a Smart Choice
If you need a little more convincing, here are some of the reasons coconut oil is such a great option:
1. Moisturizes Without the Sticky Feel
Coconut oil leaves skin feeling soft and clean—not greasy or sticky.
2. Supports Thyroid Health
Studies suggest coconut oil’s unique properties may support thyroid function—important for energy and overall vitality.
3. Supports Metabolism
If a little coconut oil ends up being ingested, no stress—it’s known to support metabolism.
4. Helps Improve Mineral Absorption
Coconut oil may help the body better absorb calcium, vitamin D, and other minerals that support bone health.
5. Supports Balance in the Body
Its antifungal properties have been shown to help reduce yeast and candida overgrowth.
6. Naturally Protective Properties
Coconut oil has antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial qualities.
A Win-Win for Love and Health
Loving your spouse and caring for your body don’t have to be separate goals.
With simple, natural ingredients, you can protect your health while enhancing intimacy—without unnecessary toxins or artificial additives.
Now if you’ll excuse me…
I’ll be keeping my hat, sunglasses, and overcoat on for a little while longer. 😎
