Romance is in the Air: Aromatherapy
Many women love romance. Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to fill your environment with the scents that you love. By keeping your favorite scents around you, you can create a certain feel or atmosphere. Romance is a wonderful feminine atmosphere that you can nurture in your home. Jasmine, Gardenia, Rose, and Geranium are all associated with romance and love. If you would like to encourage the presence of love, consider using these oils in your Aromatherapy practices.
You can burn rose candles in each room. Great Aromatherapy candles may be made out of Soy wax. These candles are all-natural and burn clean. That means that they leave no soot behind or have any pollution type materials in them. If you are taking a bubble bath, or just feeling romantic, the scent of roses in bloom may be the perfect addition to set the mood.
Gardenia is another exotic and romantic scent. The flower is known for its incredibly fragrant aroma. Gardenia oil may be diluted for use on skin or in your bath. Add ten drops of Gardenia Oil to carrier base oil, such as 1 ounce of Jojoba oil. You may apply this oil directly on your skin.
