Increasing Your Pleasure Naturally

There’s nothing more ecological than
flowers and nothing more of an aphrodisiac
if the flowers are jasmine. According
to historians, the world over famous Cleopatra
was already making use of jasmine
in her hair to distract Markus Antonius
during their business meetings.
Most of the oils – often used in aromatherapy,
found in the market under the name
“aphrodisiac” come from white flowers
that blossom during the nighttime, and the
jasmine flower is the queen of all. Thanks
to its “stimulating components”, like the
“indole” that can be found in the accent
of all white flowers, jasmine is considered
the world’s most sensual flower, followed
by the narcissus, madonnas and lilies. The
jasmine’s aroma inspires high feelings and
spiritual love. It purifies, rejuvenates, attracts
and seduces.
The Sandalwood is aphrodisiac oil that
suits men and women and can be of great
help for the “here and now moment”. In
an essay published in the "International
Journal of Aromatherapy" the benefits of
this particular flower can encourage the
climax between couples by turning fantasies
into reality. The floral musk helps create
the perfect atmosphere for romance.
It is great for a first encounter or to make
a good first impression. The Neroli (that
comes from the flower of the orange) and
the ylang-ylang, both help relax the body,
and as a consequence, a more comfortable
and appropriate environment for those
moments. Exotic aromas!
The pink oil has the power to open up the
hearts of both genders. For hundreds of
years it has been a wonder for women and
something that pleases most of men, especially
if mixed-up with anotherflavored oil.
The oils that are considered an aphrodisiac
tend to be used to first physically relax,
and then to contribute to the excitement.
This happens because the scent activates
certain areas of the brain and body helping
in the excitement and pleasure!
We enjoyed our time in Brazil immensely, where for
the first time an International Permaculture Conference
was held in South America. Traditionally IPC’s
take place every two years and switch between continents.
Past host sites have been in Australia, USA,
New Zealand, Scandinavia, Nepal and Croatia, while
South Africa will host the next IPC9 in April 2009
- www.ipc9.org. Permaculture (PERMAnent CULTURE)
is a design system based on ecological principles
for creating sustainable human environments
and is a whole systems approach suggesting positive
solutions for a rapidly changing world.
Loved by the Tupi Indians…
The Brazilian tropical herb Catuaba is famous for its aphrodisiac powers. The skin
is used as tonic to bring back male potency and endurance. The Native Indians appropriately
nicknamed Catuaba as “Pau de Resposta” (The rod of the answer). Studies
also indicate that its energetic properties fortify the nervous system and improve
memory and mental alertness.
