There
are many wonderful recipes in aromatherapy - many as old as time,
and none more so desirable than those to attract the opposite sex.
The Egyptians used aromatherapy in both their embalming procedures
and cosmetics, whilst Cleopatra certainly knew it's power when she
soaked the sails of her sailing ship in perfume to entice Mark Anthony
back to Egypt!
The aroma of essential oils can vary from the somewhat unpleasant
to the positively seductively sensual. As always essential oils
and their perfumes are a purely personal one, so it is pointless
trying to seduce someone with a reputedly aphrodisiac oil that your
target thinks smells rather like old socks! When planning your next
sexual conquest, therefore, try some discreet market research first,
before the full scale frontal assault!
A number of oils have been characterised since ancient times as
having sensual qualities, although the effect seems to vary tremendously
from person to person. But, hey - keep trying different oils until
you get the response you're looking for! Suffer in the pursuit of
romantic research!
For best effect, the use of aphrodisiac oils is best kept subtle
- it's no good adding a good measure of essential oil and having
the effect or fumigating man, woman and beast out of the house!
Making them ill may get them into bed, but not for the purpose you
had in mind. Try a few drops on an oil burner to magically scent
the room, or a few drops left on a piece of material and left on
a radiator.
Cooking with essential oils is not recommended - heating destroys
the chemical properties and will render the food bitter and horrid
rather than sensual. Stick to the tried and trusted champagne and
oysters.
Classic Aphrodisiacs:
The Antidote
Are you a subject of unwanted passion? Tired and just want a good
night's sleep rather than a swing from the chandelier?
If your target has turned into a towering inferno of unbridled
lust, but you have suddenly developed a bad case of the thumping
heads, a fast and effective remedy is called for. So try the hero
of the moment - Marjoram.
This oil is classified as an anaphrodisiac - mainly because it promotes
rapid sleep!!
