Love And Aromatherapy

Love, it has been said, is what makes the world go around. Love is that intangible that all humans seek and very few find in its purest form...unconditional love. Dogs, of course, do give unconditional love but humans very rarely do...if ever.

Love between a man and a woman always starts with physical attraction. First they must be physically attracted before their minds, hearts and souls can fall into real love. There is never any certainty that physical attraction will develop into real love but the physical attraction comes first and that is where aromatherapy can help.

Women and men are equally affected by smell. A woman may be attracted to a man by other senses. She can like the way he looks. She can be attracted by the sound of his voice. She can love the feel of his touch. The same senses can attract a man to a woman. He likes the way she looks, sounds and the way she touches him.

You will notice that we haven’t mentioned the other two senses yet...taste and smell...but I am getting to that now.

The breath should always be fresh. We can all agree on that. Breath that will attract the opposite sex, though, needs to be more than just fresh. The scent of vanilla, orange and rose are the most sensual ones to use for your breath. This is true for both men as well as women. Remember that essential oils should never be taken internally. The ONLY exception to this hard and fast rule is peppermint and it is not a scent that is sensual. Breath mints can be purchased in health food stores that will provide you with the scent of vanilla, orange or rose for your breath. Edible massage oils can be purchased as well.

When you are preparing to meet a person to whom you are physically attracted and wish them to be equally physically attracted to you, you should take the time to prepare yourself and your home for the meeting.

The scents that are aphrodisiac in nature are: Sandalwood, vetiver, elemi, patchouli, rose, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, coriander, ginger, neroli, ylang ylang.

Take the time to assure that your body is clean and that it has been massaged with any of the above listed essential oils. Don’t forget your hair. It needs to be clean as well and it also needs to have been infused with one of the aphrodisiac scents.

Musk is a scent that is attractive to both men and women. Bay is a scent that is especially attractive to women and rose is a scent that is especially attractive to women.

Candles that contain essential oils can be purchased at most stores that sell aromatherapy products both online and off line. You can light these candles and infuse the scents into the very air that you and the ‘somebody’ will be breathing.

Remember, that physical attraction is only the very fist step in the long (and sometimes painful) road that leads to long and lasting love.
