This time of year love becomes quite a popular topic. If you are looking for a few herbs to perhaps spice things up a bit regarding the love in your life read on. Let’s go through some spices that you may enjoy.
Lavender is naturally calming and soothing. Did you know that the scent of lavender has been used to attract men since ancient times? It was put under the mattress to help increase the energy of passion and love. Lavender is associated with the heart chakra and will help open your energy to love.
Cinnamon is another one of my favorites. It is said that it excites men. Cinnamon is very helpful in lifting your spirits and promoting an overwhelming sense of positive emotion and love. Try a cup of cinnamon and honey tea.
Ginger is a hot herb all on its own. This herb will warm your body up. It can be used to help get your partner “in the mood”. Ginger makes a wonderful salad dressing. For those of you who have sensitive stomachs, ginger can go a long way towards helping soothe that as well.
Did you know that Rosemary is said to be an aphrodisiac? In ancient times, women would carry rosemary in their bridal bouquets as it is known to assist with love and faithfulness.
Parsley is another wonderful herb to have on Valentine’s day. It is said that it can help to increase a woman’s desire.
My personal favorite, chocolate. Chocolate boosts serotonin and endorphin levels, relieving pain and boosting your mood. It can help increase your levels of desire. The cacao seeds that chocolate is made from are classified as an herb.
Strawberries just go so well with chocolate. When mentioning chocolate my mind immediately goes to chocolate-covered strawberries. Did you know that strawberries are actually an herb? The “perfect little red heart” is actually a part of the Rose family. In ancient Rome, strawberries symbolized the goddess Venus. Strawberries hold the energy of love, and when combined with chocolate, increase the energy of the person consuming them! So indulge those cravings a bit.
So let’s refresh. Make plans for that perfect romantic evening tonight. Use some lavender oil in a diffuser. Place cups of cinnamon and honey tea on the table. Follow it up with a ginger salad. For dinner, let’s roast up a rosemary chicken with some red parsley and garlic potatoes. For the perfect touch, chocolate-covered strawberries for dessert.
Have a magickal day!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
