- Love Potions
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. |
