Want to spice up your love life this Valentine's Day? Or maybe you're just looking to turn heads with a tantalizing scent!
Essential
oils that have aphrodisiac properties are great for instigating
romance! Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, an anniversary or a loved one’s
birthday, you can use one of several essential oils to set the mood for
love.
Ever since the time of Cleopatra, essential
oils have been used to promote everything from health and beauty
to fertility and virility and of course, romance. Many cultures,
including the Greeks, learned from the Egyptians how to use
these aromatic oils to increase passion and incite romance. This
expertise quickly spread across the world.
Some
of the most popular aphrodisiac essential oils used in aromatherapy
today include rose, neroli, sandalwood, ylang ylang and patchouli.
Aphrodisiac
essential oils work their magc by stimulating our olfactory system
when we inhale them. This stimulation directs our emotions by releasing
and modulating hormones. Different scents will stimulate different
emotions, and in the case of aphrodisiac oils, specifically the emotions
of passion, attraction, feelings of euphoria, and pleasurable
sensations.
Essential oils can be used to scent sheets and pillowcases, in the bath,
in place of perfume, as massage oils, in lotions and candles, and to
scent a room. Apply a couple of drops to the pulse points on your neck,
wrists, elbows, chest or knees. With the excess on your hands, run your
fingers through your hair. Men can use the essential oils as cologne,
deodorant, or aftershave.
