AROMATHERAPY APHRODESIAC

   AROMATHERAPY AS APHRODESIAC?
 

A primer on aromatherapy for lovers

"For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power
 to recall memories, and it is a pity that you use it so little"--
                                        --Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
 

Aromatherapy as aphrodesiac?

Aromatherapy... it's for real, guys! Throughout history, man has  used the scents from plants, flowers and herbs for medicinal purposes... but also to enhance sexual intimacy and lift the emotions.

Once you know the basics of this ancient healing art, you can use  it to create a peaceful mood in your home...  induce harmony between  you two... and also set the stage for romance.

Essential oils are distilled from various plant materials. The aromatic concentrate can then be utilized in different ways to spread it's pleasurable healing scent. The oils can be infused  in candles, or dispensed into the air from heating diffusers, added  to bath water, or used as massage oil (more on that later).

We have brought together a small but interesting array of diffusers to get you started in aromatherapy. Some are electric, and can spread the aromas over a larger area. But the candle diffusers are elegant, and we love the classy look of them.
