Valentine's Day
Love Potions

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. - Source The DeAmicis School of Natural Healing.
