[Everything doTERRA] Re: zero libido

We just had an excellent women's EO health class with here in North County, SD and discussed this topic. This is often a hormone issue- usually low progesterone, and high estrogen.  All of those oils you have used are great for helping to support your body to achieve hormonal balance, but they need to be used daily and probably a couple of times a day.  Also, if you are not doing the other things to help your body have a good foundation to achieve balance, then it's going to be much more difficult to see results.  So, getting the amount of sleep your body needs each day, diet and nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction are all factors.  The LLV supplements are part of creating a foundation.  They help to cleanse out the toxins (candida fits into this category too) that can contribute to increased estrogen and they help to bring your body to better nutrition.  Xenoestrogens (fake estrogen) are the toxic kinds that we pick up everyday through our environment, what we eat, etc. They cause us to have too much estrogen and they disrupt the natural balance.  As I understand it, the supplement from doTerra, Phytoestrogen, helps to block Xenoestrogens from taking over and allows the proper estrogens to go where they need to. I do see a difference at least in my moods when I am consistent with Phytoestrogen.  Progesterone is the one that helps with Libido, but when estrogens are too high, the progesterone ends up on the back burner.  There are oils that help to increase progesterone as well and it looks like you are using several good options.  Also, you need to give it a couple of months of true consistent, daily use to allow the body time to change and adjust. If you've had no childbirths due to physical issues, it may be that your hormones have been off for quite some time.  Creating balance though is not just about the hormones, it's a whole body thing.  I know this is just brief and skims the topic, but I hope it helps and gets you on the right track.  

You've been struggling for a long time with this and I'm sure there's a lot of stress around it so, the mind set may be that nothing works for me in this situation, so in that sense, positive affirmations about it may help to create the emotional change that may also be needed to see results.  There is often an emotional component to our issues.  I encourage you to ask yourself what emotions this whole issue brings up.  Write them all out or say them out loud and allow yourself to feel them.  After you do so, you have to bring yourself out of that pit. Don't stay there, this is temporary emotional relief, not a pit with no ladder to get out.  Take several long, releasing deep breaths and then say the opposite of all the emotions you've just released.  Fill yourself back up with positive statements.  For example, "I see, feel, and allow myself to enjoy sex."  or "I feel sensual, I choose to be sensual, I am sensual." or, I am worthy of great sex.  I love and appreciate my beautiful body.  I experience joy and abundance in my sex life.  I love myself. I am lovable.  I give and receive love readily, easily, and with joy.  It is safe for me to enjoy a fulfilling sex life.  My libido is strong and vibrant.  Say these kinds of positive statements until you really feel them and believe them (this may take daily efforts for several weeks, but you've got to start somewhere).  Then ACT as IF.  ACT as If your libido is fantastic.  Yes, even pretend for a bit, because once you get there it's usually very nice even if you didn't feel like going there in the first place. 

You can go to directlabs.com and get a home lab test to see what your hormone levels are and get a better idea of what you are dealing with.  I think there is actually a sale that ends this week for the hormone test.

Ok not having any luck so far. I am 44 yr old female with pretty much no libido since about my early twenties. Also , no childbirths. So far i have tried clary sage , ylang ylang , solace and whisper. The ylang ylang did not have any affect on me in any way. Clary sage and solace both gave me a sense of well being but no libido and whisper didnt really do anything either except smell good. Any suggestions ? Very frustated but not ready to give up.
