Aromatherapy is a healing practice using essential oils. The use of aromatherapy stimulates nerve endings in the nose, which stimulate impulses within the limbic system of the brain. Stimulating these senses brings stress relief, induces lusty behavior, and even attracts someone toward you. Aromatherapy is an important part of herbal remedies and herbal magick.

There are many ways to apply aromatherapy and charge the intention with magick to fully enjoy the use of the oils.

• Anointing:Anoint specific areas of the body with oils. This is great for opening the chakras and carrying the strength of the oil with you wherever you go. It is a perfect practice before any magick or ritual to accent energy work.

• Baths:Add any number of oils to a bath or soak and let your skin absorb their qualities. This style of bath magick can also extend to bath and body products like sprays and creams.

• Showers:Add a few drops of your favorite oils into the base of your tub or shower stall, allowing the steam from the shower to activate the oils and release them into the air.

• Diffusion:Diffuse oils into the air with a diffuser or a lamp ring made of metal or clay. Aromas carry most easily through the air, and this is a sure way to release the maximum of the oil's scent.

• Inhalation: Directly inhale the oils through a steam bath or moist hot towel.

• Compress: Add a few drops to a basin of hot water and soak the compress. Wring the compress out and apply it to the area of the body that needs attention.

• Massage: Add any oils to a favorite carrier massage oil and use it to get your partner in the mood!
