Aromatherapy for Lovers: Essential Recipes for Romance

Civilizations rise and fall, but love is forever... For thousands of years, across cultures as diverse as Tibet and Rome, men and women have anointed themselves-and each other-with fragrances before joining together in the act of love. With a proven scientific connection between our sense of smell and the pleasure of sex, aromatherapy is as exciting, fascinating and endlessly useful today as it was two thousand years ago. This book takes readers into the exotic realm of the senses, drawing on such classic works as the Kama Sutra, the Tantric scriptures and the Islamic Perfumed Garden to show how fragrances can be used to heighten the pleasure of love. Aromatherapy for Lovers teaches how to mix and match pure oils distilled from flowers, stems, leaves, seeds and roots as well as experiment-and to combine these scents with such sexual techniques as massage and the radiant Tantric ritual of "essential energy meld." A guide for lovers, accompanied by beautiful and erotic illustrations, Aromatherapy for Lovers is proof positive that when it comes to the art of love, practice is perfection.
