Some people will actually develop an unnatural ruddy complexion and deep red tongues, suffer headaches, bleeding noses and high blood pressure when taking panax ginseng, especially at night when they are particularly sensitive to its effects and find it stimulates them to the point of affecting their sleep patterns.
 

Night-blooming cereus. This beautiful desert flower only blooms for one evening and makes an excellent lung tonic and heart stimulant, which is also why it is contraindicative for those with cardiovascular disease.

More importantly, if the products are produced in-house: that is, if they make their own product and don't just simply commission someone ele's product and put their own label on it, then you are giving yourself a fair chance of getting more consumer satisfaction. Read through the marketing hype because a company which does it's own research and has it's own production facilities is usually serious about being around for a long time and not just out to make a fast buck.

Dancing is very intimate, especially when your bodies are very close together. You do not have to go out for a night on the town to do this. Simply pop a CD into the player anytime, even when you are in the kitchen, living room or bedroom and then sway together, gyrate together and entwine your bodies together. Dancing helps to keep romance alive and it is fun and a way for couples to positively connect with one another.

Human Pheromone Based Products So what do we make of all the products on the market today claiming they are the answer to people's sexual dreams. Can these products really help people in finding a mate? One theory is that by wearing pheromone enhanced cologne or perfume gives the recipient a greater air of confidence. By exuding more confidence, or if you like, working with a safety net, you are more likely to attract the attention of those around you. Makes sense.

Touch and kiss one another at every opportunity, and this includes those non-sexual moments in time. Kissing and touching does not just have to be about foreplay before sex takes place. Smooch with each other whenever you can and make sure that your good morning and "have a good day at work" kisses are passionate and not quick and wooden such as a peck on the cheek. Pecks on the cheek are for children and not for lovers.

Everyone likes to smell great and smell works on the pheromones of our system to make us even more attractive to our significant other. Ladies spritz a touch of your favorite fragrance on your pillow so he smells your scent as he sleeps. Or write him a romantic note and spray a touch of your perfume on it and slip it into the pocket of his jacket of his briefcase. Talk about a touch of romance that will stay with him all day long until he sees you again.

Chocolate enhances cardiovascular health. Like red wine, the phenols contained in dark chocolate help prevent coronary diseases. The British Medical Journal reports that a daily portion of 100 grams of dark chocolate reduces blood pressure and the occurrence of cardiovascular incidents by 21%. These phenols are also rich in antioxidants and they help neutralize free radicals produced by the body or absorbed thought cigarette smoke and other sources of pollution. Cocoa butter is already used in creams to heal scars and burns. No wonder pharmaceutical companies are now exploring the possibility of researching with chocolate to develop new medication to counter cancers and osteoporosis.

Pleasure aside, chocolate also holds beneficial health properties. Chocolate's complex chemical composition offers a variety of substances that the body needs to function properly and to prevent disease.

Pheromones have no odor and are picked up by an organ in the nose called the vomeronasal(VNO). Many studies have been conducted over the last 30 years to ascertain whether they actually exist or are just a marketing ploy designed to increase sales of pheromone based products. In fact, for the sake of debating, there are strong arguments on either side. But there has been enough evidence produced to suggest that possibly, just possibly, humans have the ability to communicate through chemical interaction.

Everyone likes romance, don't they? When we think of a romantic date we conjure up images of moonlight, fine wine, flowers, chocolates, candlelight dinners and dancing close under the stars.

Read through their website and by doing this you will get a feel for both their knowledge on the subject and their integrity.

Did you ever believe that there was so much to learn about pheromone release? Neither did we! Once we got to write this article, it seemed to be endless.

What Are Pheromones? They are described as a chemical substance which occur naturally and their role is to encourage mating responses.

One of the many benefits of living in our time is that there is a plethora of organic and fair trade chocolates that are readily available to us in natural health food and grocery stores. The benefits of purchasing these types of chocolates abound but the most obvious are that they do not contain organochlorine pesticides that are usually used to treat traditional cocoa crops and that are harmful not only to the consumer but also to the field worker. Furthermore, purchasing fair trade chocolate ensures that the (healthier) worker can benefit from improved working and living conditions by receiving a fair salary for their work.
