An aroma of love

Because of being so near to Valentines Day how can we not wonder if these "aromatherapy oils" could be used to enhance those wonderful feelings of romance? Really though, could they?
There are actually several essential oils that can cause a wonderfully romantic setting in the air.
Jasmine and Rose are among the finest and most romantically inspiring essential oils known of, unfortunately, they are also among the most expensive. Yet there is such a vast amount of species in the flower kingdom that we aren't even near the end of our selection. Clary sage, Patchouli, and Ylang Ylang are all less expensive oils that are emotionally stimulants of our romantic side. These oils are calm and inspiring, known to lift depression, and mildly sedating the nerves....helping one to "unwind" or "relax". Since these oils are used on an emotional level the recomended application would be simpling having thier aroma in the air. You could burn them in an aroma lamp, diffuse them in an oil diffuser, or even dab a bit on your clothes as a perfume. (Remeber to check for irritations first... Some oils may irritate the skin).
