Love Potions:
Essentials Oils May Come Close...
Through the ages
we have been facinated with the idea of love potions. A magic elixar
that creates instant love or passion. Does Love Potion #9 really
exist?
We know that
scent plays a major role in the art of passion. We also know that
essential oils can have noticeable effects on our moods and physical
responses.
Are essential
oil blends the answer? Well, science has been unable to provide
any concrete answers, however, do any digging through folklore
medicine references and you will certainly find all kinds of herbal
suggestions and talisman ideas.
Considering
the season, I thought it would be fun to pull out some love potion
recipes and let you decide if you want to try any to see for yourself.
I will not be held responsible for the consequences - good, bad
or otherwise. Just remember the old saying "Be careful what you
wish for - you just might get it!"
All these
blends can be used in diffusers, used to scent body powders, to
create a scented spray, in a massage oil or as a personal scent
(dilute to 1% in jojoba) and worn on pulse points.
Actual formulas
are not given as part of the power of a potion lies with the creator
of the blend. The oils are listed in terms of what portion of
the blend they form: MA=major, mi=minor, T=trace. If there is
an asterik (*) after the oil, that indicates the oil is a possible
irritant and should be used with caution.
