Ginger

Ginger, or Zingiber officiale, has been one of the most prized spices from antiquity to the Middle Ages.

It is the symbol of a brilliant temperament, of a spicy and mischievous reaction to every stimulus, of the immediate response to provocation.

It also symbolises charm, coquetry and enterprise. It is the sovereign remedy for those who want to reach their goal quickly and draw the greatest pleasure from it.

It is said that in Senegal women use the ginger tuber to make themselves belts in order to awaken the dormant senses of their husbands.

It is widely used in the preparation of cakes, sauces and drinks and is one of the basic ingredients of aphrodisiac cookery; but the most exciting of its applications is massage, practised between the two partners with a special oil, prepared as follows:

In a small glass of olive oil, mix the tip of a teaspoon of each of the following substances: ginger, cloves, sage, thyme and walnut leaves.

This mixture, whose recipe comes from ancient Egypt, should be spread with skilful massage along the spine, starting from the coccyx up to the cervical vertebrae. It should be a slow, deep massage which will not fail to arouse, as well as a feeling of great serenity, unexpected, deep, prolonged and new erotic reactions leading to complete satisfaction of the senses.

It is advisable to give the massage reciprocally, in a welcoming room, with soft lighting and, if possible, background music.

The effects will be incredible.
