Did you know vanilla is an aphrodisiac? Vanilla
is not just plain old vanilla. It has qualities that make it the most widely
used flavoring. It’s expensive, second only to saffron. It is a flavoring
extracted from the orchid genus vanilla which grow in Mexico. It is also
cultivated in other countries.
There are three main commercial uses of vanilla;
in the pod, ground and as an extract. All three are used in products. Since
vanilla is every expensive often times artificial vanilla flavoring is used in
baked goods and other foods. Beware of artificial vanilla- it’s just plain
fake.
The major use of vanilla is in flavoring ice cream
and the most common ice cream is vanilla. Therefore it developed the nick name
“plain vanilla” to mean a default or common basic flavor which is not true at
all. Vanilla is often times used to enhance chocolate and other flavored ice
creams and foods.
Vanilla is considered an aphrodisiac. The Aztecs used it as an aphrodisiac and in
1776 a German study gave men a medication based upon flavored vanilla, which
was said to cure their impotence.
Vanilla
has been used as a popular scent in Aromatherapy since the late 80s, described
in 1991 by Sloan-Kettering as,
"Vanilla, a homey scent which may remind
people of food, may be a preferred scent [for this stress research test]. Its
recent rise in commercial popularity is well-deserved."
But is it really an aphrodisiac? When it comes to
sex vanilla is often referred to as just plain old boring sex. Could this not
be true? If vanilla is so expensive and if vanilla is the major flavoring that
is added to other flavors to enhance them then if we add plain good old vanilla
to the other flavors of sex don’t we enhance them?
Vanilla is considered an aphrodisiac because the
scent of vanilla (the chemical molecules) mixes with human pheromones and
enhances our scent making us more attractive to a potential sex partner. That’s
why vanilla is includes in so many perfumes. Vanilla also quells the appetite
for sweet foods. The scent seems to give us sweet thoughts instead of sweet
cravings and sweet thought are good for sexual appetite!
Drop vanilla beans in brandy or dessert wine and
let them sit for a few days. The vanilla will release into the liquor and add a
delicious flavor. Drop a bean into a cup of hot coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Burn vanilla candles (make sure they are aromatherapy candle and good quality).
Or add a little vanilla to a sweet dessert and
serve it to your lover. The flavor and scent will excite the sense and surely
bring thoughts of sex to your body, mind and soul.
