Valentine's Love Potions: Essential Oils May Come Close...
Through the ages we have been fascinated with the idea of love potions. A magic elixir 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 herbal folklore 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 asterisk (*) after the oil, that indicates the oil is a possible
irritant and should be used with caution.
Binding
Love - Ylang Ylang (MA), Jasmine (MA), Champa (mi), Tuberose
(mi), White Wine (mi). For this one, place a few drops of this
on your lover's and your heart to bind them in your mutual love
for eternity.
May you find
love in your life and peace in your heart.
