These oils are all names under the umbrella of Sandalwood, a rich and sweet aroma that reminds  you of your granddad smoking a pipe and settled in for a long winters evening. It has been known to be used as an aphrodisiac and as pleasant tool to aid meditation.

Both the Indian and Sri Lankan oils have specific differences although both are effective to use as a tonic to build up the immune system in the physical body and also balance the skin whether it is dry or oily.  They are especially good if you are a man and suffer with tender skin from shaving. It can be useful in relaxation, lifts depression and is well known as a balancing oil.

Sandalwood, if being used as part of a collection of Home Remedies , will surprise the person using it for the first time as the liquid is thick and can take time to come out of the bottle.  Unless you are very patient it may be useful to use a pipette. If stored correctly it will improve with age but if you have a favourite oil then stock up as it is becoming scarce, and the prices are soaring due to the aromatherapy oil becoming so popular.

Most popular sandalwood essential oils are from India and Sri Lanka although there are also Australian Aromatherapy Oils on the market but these may not have as strong an aroma (Santal Spicatum).

There are new sandalwood essential oils coming in from different countries that will enhance the scents once they have aged.  Sandalwood is known to be one of the Herbal Remedies that blends with almost every thing, including Atlas, Cedar wood , Enrol, vanilla and many more.

There are many different pills available online that can be used as Aphrodisiacs and they are available for both men and women.  It is not, contrary to some people’s belief, a purely male dominated area.

These aphrodisiac pills are usually taken on a regular basis, rather than just taking a single pill on the night in question.  A typical quantity is to take one pill per day.

The aphrodisiacs are designed to give you greater sexual pleasure, more stamina and are reported to help the subject feel sexier, more alive and have greater orgasms.

You may ask what is in these pills and the ingredients are listed on the pack.  Usually, the natural remedies include a special blend of natural herbs.  These herbs have been used for centuries as aphrodisiacs, it is nothing new, but the particular blend and the pill format is fairly recent and convenient for everyone to take.

When looking for aphrodisiac pills, many people prefer to buy them online as it keeps them anonymous and saves them embarrassment, as well as often being much cheaper than that found on the high street.

This herb is definitely not a weed as the name suggests - it belongs to the family of Asters or more generally known as the daisy family. It is called different names including boneset gravel root and trumpet weed.

Native to North America, Jo Pye Weed is named after an American doctor who successfully used the plant as one of the Herbal Remedies to treat ‘typhus’. The ancient tradition was to use the herb as a love potion and also as a good luck charm. The hollow stems were used to draw water from a body of water, like using a straw. There are Native American Indian tribes that still think of it as a natural healer and will add one teaspoon of the dried herb to a cup of boiling water and then steep for ten minutes before drinking.

The common name for the herb was boneset, so called because of its use in treating broken bones or dengue fever in America.  Medically it has been known to be invaluable in treating kidney stones, urinary disorders such as cystitis and relieve the symptoms of menstruation.

To blend the herb to use as a home remedy you have to take the leaves and roots to make an infusion, with the most popular area that the herb stands out is as a diuretic and an astringent.

It can blend in an herb garden or the borders of a front garden as long as the soil in that area is wet. The purple flowers of the plant make it attractive to the eye and the best place to look for the herb is in wild wet swamps.

In the seventeenth century and if the old wives tales are anything to go by, oysters or asparagus are the ones to turn you on and to excite your partners taste buds by making your blood pressure rise.

Food has always been considered the way to a mans stomach but if the stomach in question is allergic to oysters or asparagus there could be trouble and any time spent in the kitchen cooking or romantic music playing in the background will be wasted

The woman, or dare I say women, in a mans life will love them to buy chocolate especially truffles as they are said to have the same attraction as oysters for the men. Now I know why those piggies are always looking in the forest undergrowth for the truffles. One thing is sure if I have to choose between Oysters and chocolate especially chocolate truffles, well I know which is for me.

According to various written articles, there is more romance in the rumours and no-one wants to spoil tales from the past.

Other aphrodisiac food and herbs are listed below that are recommended, always according to the palate of course.

Basil & thyme
Strawberries
Honey
Chillies
