Herbs, Oils And Other Aphrodisiacs Resale Rights Ebook

Aphrodisiac oils are mixtures of real essential oils or synthetically scented oils blended into a base oil, usually a vegetable oil such as almond oil or apricot kernel oil. Some herbalists refer to these self-made oil blends as “magical oils.“ If made effectively, they certainly have the potential to work magically upon the mind and body.

The person making the aphrodisiac oil adds the essential oil drop by drop to the base oil and mixes it to create a unique blend in small quantities. Some people anoint themselves, their bedding, or even sentimental objects with the oils in order to maintain an aura of the scent around them and their loved ones.

When blending one's own magical oil, always record everything that you do. Otherwise, in experimenting, you may come up with the perfect concoction that meets all of your wants and needs and never be able to recreate it again. Taking the time to be a little methodical and scientific really pays off in liberating the artistry of making oils.

Eventually, you'll have notebooks and “recipes” that you can always refer back to and hand on to others.

Many holistic herbalists do not believe in using synthetic oils since they believe that their molecular structures are not the same as the pure essential oils, and that they dilute the purity of the aphrodisiac.

"Only pure essential oils," argues one herbalist and aromatherapist, "can produce genuine results. There is nothing like nature for anti-aging help and rejuvenation. Essential oils advance cellular renewal by better circulation, hydration, and removal of toxins from the body."

It cannot be denied that pure rose oil has as many as 2,000 complex scent components. A synthetic oil, even a high-grade one, may have about 50 components.

But unfortunately, some plants that you may want to use come from sources that are so difficult to extract oils from, commercial outfits don't do it. Some herbs or flowers produce essential oils that are toxic or may cause allergic reactions severe enough to prohibit their sale. Some pure essential oils are strong enough to be contraindicated during pregnancy. Others cause phototoxicity in some people, ranging in effect from blotches to burning of the skin.

A synthetic perfume oil won't have strong side effects. It also may not have the “magical” properties of the natural essential oils. Wise practitioners know that after researching what experts say, they must carefully use trial, error, and moderation to determine what is effective for their purposes.

Always do a skin patch test on a small area to make sure that you don't overreact to the oil.

Don't ever use essential oils undiluted, as they can harm your skin. Never ingest an unblended essential oil either -- it could be fatal.
