Tips to Add Romance to the Air with Aromatherapy
Evelyn Lim
Romance is a delightful, warm and floaty feeling. All of us would like
to have the feelings of love nurtured in our home. You need not be
dating to wish for the presence of love and happiness in your
environment. It will be great to still experience the romantic feelings
with the person you have been living with for the past 20 years.
Aromatherapy is a wonderful way for you to achieve this with the scents
that you love. Jasmine, Gardenia, Rose, and Geranium are all associated
with romance and love. If you would like to encourage the presence of
love, think about using these oils in your Aromatherapy practices.
Consider burning some rose candles in your home. Choose aromatherapy
candles that are made out of Soy wax. These candles are all-natural and
will 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 makes you feel as if you are in beautiful garden.
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. However, please note that using essential oils directly on
your skin without diluting them may cause skin irritations to occur.
Always read the safety precautions on the labels of your essential oils
before using them.
A home with the hint of Jasmine creates a beautifully romantic
environment. Jasmine is also a main base for many perfumes. You can add
Jasmine to your shampoo and conditioner for a beautiful floral treat
that will perfume your hair and make it smell heavenly.
You can also create your own romantic face creams and lotions. Add 2-5
drops of Rose oil to your favorite creams and lotions for a wonderful
treat. This may be used as a body lotion then followed with a dab of
rose oil perfume.
Blending Geranium and Rose can make a beautiful romantic fragrance.
This may be the base for your Aromatherapy diffuser, candles, beauty
products, perfumes, and even air fresheners. You can create a wonderful
Geranium Rose air freshener that will add a touch of romance throughout
your house whenever you decide you need a little touch of something
floral and feminine.
To make Geranium Rose air freshener you will need a spray bottle, 20
drops of Geranium oil and 20 drops of Rose oil, and 1 ½ ounces of
distilled water, and 1 ½ ounces of high proof alcohol such as Vodka.
First combine the water and the alcohol into the bottle, then add in
the Geranium and Rose oils. You can then shake the air freshener and
you can let it sit for 24 hours before using. The scent may become
stronger after it has a chance to cure.
It is not difficult to infuse the air with romance through the use of
aromatherapy. Other ideas to set the mood include putting on some light
music in the background and dressing up for the evening.
