Aromatherapy and Love

Essential oils are perfect for creating a romantic feeling. You can scent a card, put some in a bath or wear a blend on your skin. Fragrance and the sense of smell cause a quicker reaction in the brain than any other sense. The following essential oils are perfect for making your love potion:

  • Rose
  • Ylang-Ylang
  • Geranium
  • Palmarosa
  • Patchouli
  • Jasmine
Three good blends are:
Blend #1
  • 3 drops Rose
  • 4 drops Palma rosa
 Blend #2
  • 4 drops Rose Geranium
  • 3 drops Jasmine
 Blend #3
  • 3 drops Ylang-ylang
  • 4 drops Patchouli
Self-Love and Aromatherapy

Self-love is also an important issue to remember in February. All of the above blends remind us of our lovability. If you want a relaxing, calming blend try:

Relaxing Calming Blend

Rejuvenating Refreshing Blend

Warning:
Do not put essential oils directly on your skin. Only a few can be used directly. Most are too strong and should only be combined with other ingredients.
