Aromatherapy for Valentine's Day
THREE SIMPLE TIPS SURE TO MAKE YOUR SWEETIE SWOON!
Valentine’s Day can be a complex beast. While I don’t want to feel forced into celebrating my loved one on a pre-determined commercial holiday, I also wouldn’t want to pass up the chance for a little extra romance. Life can be so hectic sometimes that I can easily forget to remind my number one that he is in fact my number one. Let’s face it, the post-holiday blues can hit hard and spring seems miles away. The annual blast of warm fuzzy feelings in mid-February might be just what the doctor ordered!
Aromatherapy can be used very effectively to initiate a mood for intimacy and romance. Essential oils like ylang ylang and patchouli are known to help the libido, while rose and jasmine are commonly worn to warm the heart and release tension and stress. Sometimes, all it takes to set the mood is to light a few candles and dim the lights. Choose wisely as the alluring aromas from the candles are absorbed into the body through our olfactory system and can help to relax the mind and melt tension away effortlessly. Use heady aromas like cedarwood and geranium and avoid energy-inducing citrusy essential oils.
Nothing relaxes the body and releases inhibitions like a steaming hot bubble bath. Try adding a few drops of pure rose essential oil to the mix, or use your favorite blend in an unscented bubble bath base. Even better, what could be more romantic than creating a custom ‘romance blend’ for your partner? Your signature aroma could be used in the bath, in a massage oil base or enjoyed in an aromatherapy diffuser for many months to come. The Escents Aromatherapy Blending Bar is the perfect venue to test different oils and concoct your own special romance blend this Valentine’s Day. The Escents retail staffers are expert-blenders and can help guide you through which oils are best suited for your needs.
And finally, the ultimate aphrodisiac, a sensual aromatherapy massage. Warm the oils gently in the palm of your hands before massaging your partner. The warmth from your touch, paired with the oils helping to increase blood flow and circulation will certainly be the cherry on this romance sundae!
Even though Valentine’s Day elicits a little cynicism from most, myself included, in the end, do we really want to rebel against a great opportunity to show our loved ones a little extra appreciation?

Melt a few pieces of a bath melt bar in a candle diffuser to scent a room. Once the pieces have melted you can use this as a warm massage oil. This feels great! There are 6 different scents to pick from.
rose essential oil brings out your passionate side! Putting few drops of love oil into your diffuser will definitely be a plus to your romantic night !
MY hubby really loves our vanilla scent. So to get him feel loved up, I use the Tahitian vanilla candle in the bedroom. You get the beautiful fragrant going though the room. And when the candle is nicely melted I poor it on my hand and use it for massaging his back.
This is the ultimate luxury for my hubby!
