The
use of Aphrodisiacs has a long and "honored" tradition. Humanity's fascination
with passionate love has resulted in every major culture formulating
their favorite "Love Potions".
A
hundred years ago, your local herbalist would have recommended a bath
in Mustard Seed tea to warm up a chilly lady. The popularity of Sarsaparilla
tea as a Spring tonic for both men and women was due to its ability
to put a spark in the eye and bounce in the step. Its high levels of
natural testosterone may have something to do with it.
In
the passionate Latin countries, foods seasoned with Cayenne Pepper are
well known for warming the nether regions of the body. The boost to
the circulation of the heart that Garlic offers may explain why Italian
is a romance language.
Never
underestimate the power of the Rose. A couple of drops of Rose oil in
some massage oil rubbed over the heart warms the emotions and opens
the eyes to the sensual possibilities.
And
then you have to decide how sexy you want to feel. Modern herbalists
have an array of potions to jump-start the libido.
The
rusty red African Yohimbe bark has been popular for years for putting
some steel back into flagging interests. The Peruvian Maca root wakes
up the delightful needs of the body.
For
the ladies, the daily use of Wild Yam cream has become the indispensable
handmaiden of Venus, and for the gents, some daily Saw Palmetto will
help keep their systems functioning well.
So for your Valentine's dinner, pick the spicy dishes off the menu,
sit on the same side of the table, and keep your honey cozy warm. -
