Finding true love is one of the most important goals in almost every person’s life. If you are looking for a new romantic partner or would like to attract love and romance into your world, herbs can be a fun and interesting part of romance. You might already have quite a few of these items in your pantry or garden!
These herb associations are often based on folklore rather than scientific evidence, stemming from cultural traditions and personal beliefs. You can incorporate these herbs into meals but approach it with an open mind and a sense of personal meaning.
Rose Petals: In Ayurveda, the rose is associated with romance. Practioners believe the flower can sooth the heart and harmonize the mind. Rose benefits include nervous system support, as well as sedative qualities. The smell of roses can make your senses swoon! You can dry them, crush them, and use them in stuffings, stews, or garnishes.

When made as tea or added to salads and curries, the warming energy of these chai spices stimulates the senses and instigates passion.
