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.
