The post The More In Love The More You Resemble Your Partner? appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

What do you do for Valentine’s Day? Do you go out to eat, plan a romantic evening at home, or attend a concert? Whichever way you spend the day with your significant other is the right way, but you don’t have to limit your love to just one person. Whether you are single or taken, you can show friends or family that you love them with simple actions or gestures. 

Just like relationships, friendships demand nurturing via hard work and dedication. A friendship or platonic relationship needs love too. So how do you remind the people in your life that you love them? When you show that you appreciate the people you love, you strengthen the connections you have. People go through hardships and triumphs with each other, so whether you go out on a date, grab coffee, or simply give a much needed hug, offering love can let people know you’re there for them. 

You don’t need big gestures and you don’t have to empty your bank account on a gift to remind someone you love them. There are much simpler ways that are often times more meaningful. We’ve highlighted simple ways to show your love, but let us know how you do it in the comments below. 

Send A Card

The written word can be very powerful, and it’s an underutilized (some might say forgotten) way of expressing love. You don’t need an elaborate essay that explains your history and shared love; rather, a simple reminder is all that’s necessary. Sending a card in the mail, or delivery a card in-person, is an easy way to make someone feel special. 

Make The Call

In keeping with the outdated or forgotten ways of communication, give the person you love a phone call. You don’t need a reason to call other than to hear the sound of their voice and ask how they are doing. Listening to someone, finding out about their day, or learning about the new goings-on in their life can mean the world. Pick up the phone and dial that number! If you haven’t seen them because of the pandemic, consider using FaceTime so you can see each other. 

Turn On Your Listening Ears

People know when you aren’t fully listening. If you’re talking on with someone and scrolling through Instagram, you may only retain bits and pieces of what they say. Leave the phones out of it and invest yourself in the conversation. Ask questions, be they silly, deep, fun, or hypothetical. Get to know your significant other or friend on a deeper level. They may divulge information about a father who is struggling with addiction, or even a sibling that is thriving at a new job. Listen closely and they’ll appreciate you for being there. That’s love, people. 

Speak Their Love Language

What does it mean to speak someone’s love language? For one person, that could mean cuddling on the couch and talking in quiet voices. Another person’s love language may be a Sunday brunch date. You have several ways to experience, give, and receive love through quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch, gifts, and acts of service. Establish what your love languages are and engage in them together. You may just need to listen to an audiobook while completing a puzzle!

Send An “I Love You” Text

“I love you” is universal and you can share those words with anyone you love. You don’t just have to send these three words to significant others because friends deserve them too. A random “I love you” text shows affection and can make your friends feel warm and fuzzy. They may need to hear those words and all you have to do is send them out of the blue. It shows that you are thinking about them and will probably put a smile on their face.

Treat Them To A Meal

Sharing food is a beautiful way to spend time together, especially if it’s a memorable meal. Volunteer to take your partner or friend out for dinner and watch them light up. It may not seem like a big gesture, but it can mean the world to someone. If you can’t make the plan to go out for a meal, consider dropping lunch by your friend’s/partner’s office. The possibilities are endless!

Rather than spending Valentine’s Day looking for parking, waiting in line to pick up food from restaurants, or ordering from pre-fixed limited menus, stay home and get creative in the kitchen with your significant other. It will be a romantic time and a food fight may or may not take place, depending on who decides to commit to the first chocolate smear or lettuce toss.

Given that February is American Heart Month, we thought we’d provide you with a few recipes that contain beets. We know that everyone is not a beet lover, but beets are juicy, red, and are great for nurturing the heart. They provide a rich, earthy flavor to dishes and you can even use their juice to finger-paint a Valentine’s Day card.

Here’s a little tip: always make a card from scratch. Take a piece of paper, fold it in half, write “I Love You” inside, and cut a thin beet slice into a heart for a cool stamp. We aren’t saying that this card is the key to unlocking the mysteries of love, but you can throw us a shout out if you do make this and things start heating up.

Technically, you just mold the sushi pieces to look like tear drops and place them next to each other to form little hearts. It is a perfect Valentine’s Day dinner! If you have a sushi mat, rolling the sushi will be a whole lot easier. If you can’t locate jicama, use cauliflower in its place.

Ladies and gentlemen, Valentine’s Day is two days away, but we want to let you know that you don’t need an excuse to celebrate a romantic evening. You can make the most of any day because there are foods that help to boost your libido. Don’t ignore the mood when it strikes, especially when it is induced by the foods in this article.

Aphrodisiac foods are known to put a spell on you, so to speak. Okay, not a spell, but they help to boost your sexual desire. You don’t have to wait for special occasions to eat these foods, either. Keep them in your kitchen, so that you can use them whenever you want to make things spicy. Just to clarify, you will not be eating spicy foods.

Pomegranate

The pomegranate is incredibly rich in antioxidants, which helps to boost the immune system. In Eastern medicine, pomegranates have been used to help treat depression. What is it doing on this list you ask? Well, they have been known to boost genital sensitivity in men and women. Since they can be tricky to open, watch the video below for an easier time.

Bananas

Bananas have some pretty amazing health benefits. They help to improve circulation and contain a special enzyme called bromelain, which works to promote healthy digestion and increase male sex drive.

Watermelon

If you are looking for a hydrating, low-calorie fruit, watermelon should be your go-to. Because watermelons contain lots of electrolytes and water, they help improve circulation. Healthy circulation is important for any activity…you know what we mean.

Garlic

Garlic may seem like an odd food to be on an aphrodisiac list because it has a lasting effect on your breath. If you both eat it, though, there won’t be any problems! Ancient Egyptian priests were actually forbidden to eat garlic because they feared that they wouldn’t be able to control their desires. Allicin, known for lowering cholesterol, helps to increase blood flow.

Almonds

Almonds are popular on the health charts nowadays because they are a great source of healthy fats and protein. In fact, almonds have long-since been used as the symbol of fertility. To help set the mood, the smell of almond oil actually stimulates male and female libidos.

Raw Honey

It’s important to get raw honey because the other stuff is incredibly processed. Honey helps to boost your hormones in both men and women. In addition to increasing estrogen and testosterone levels, honey also helps you become aroused.

Cherries

Naturally rich in antioxidants and antihistamines, cherries can help to keep your immune system strong. Tying a knot in the stem with your tongue has nothing to do with the inherent aphrodisiac properties of the cherry, just so you know. Cherries actually help to boost the production of pheromones, the hormones that put you in the mood.

Basil

Basil is a classic ingredient in Italian cooking, but a lot of people don’t know that basil can help to increase the female libido. The fragrant aroma of basil can also stimulate sexual desire in both men and women. It is best to have fresh basil to reap these benefits, so you may consider buying a basil plant.

It is that time of year again where boys and girls and women and men get all lovey-dovey with one another and dedicate the entire day to romance, love, intimacy, and lust.

The traditional Valentine’s Day involves women receiving boxes of chocolate, flowers, cards, and perhaps a candlelit dinner in a romantic setting at a nice restaurant. Many couples also engage in physical intercourse to celebrate the day of love and romance.

The origin of Valentine’s Day is founded upon pagan sex rituals. Most of our holidays here in the Western and Christian world are based upon ancient pagan rituals. However, after Christianity merged with paganism, it sanitized the ancient pagan customs and rituals.

Many devout Christians do not want to believe that at one point Christianity merged with paganism. However, the proof is recorded in history. During the Council of Nice in 325 A.D. Emperor Constantine had to restore order between Christians and pagans. He enacted a grand compromise to restore peace.

Even though Christianity overtook paganism, paganism still influenced Christianity, and that’s why we can always find traces of paganism in almost all Christian customs and rituals.

Pagan influences in the U.S.

More people in America are Christian than pagan, but the days of the week are named in honor of pagan gods and not Christian saints or the apostles of Jesus.

• Monday is named in honor of the Moon
• Tuesday is named in honor of the God Tiwaz
• Wednesday is named in honor of the god Odin
• Thursday is named in honor of the god Thor
• Friday is named in honor of the goddess Freya
• Saturday is named in honor of the god Saturn
• Sunday is named in honor of the Sun

Look at the 12 months of the year. They, too, are named in honor of pagan gods. January is named in honor of Janus, the 2-faced god. February for Februa, goddess of the fever. March for Mars. April for Aprilis. May for Maia. June for Juno. July for Julius Cesar. August for Augustus Cesar, and on and on.

Just as Christian leaders converted all pagan idols and gods into saints and converted all pagan holidays into Christian holidays, Valentine’s Day was no exception.

The pagan forerunner to the Christian Valentine’s day was the Roman festival called ‘Lupercalia’, a festival of sexual license.

The custom of drawing names on Valentine’s Day, something practiced today in elementary school when boys and girls would draw names and exchange Valentine’s Day cards, was derived from Lupercalia’s drawing of billets whereby young men chose partners for erotic games by drawing billets (small papers) with women’s names on them.

Saint Valentine

Saint Valentine was considered a bishop of Rome. He assisted the martyrs during the persecution they suffered under the rule of Claudius Goth II. During this period, Rome was involved in many bloody, brutal, and unpopular campaigns. Because Claudius the Goth II found it difficult to recruit married or engaged soldiers for the Roman army, he issued a decree that no one was to marry or be engaged.

Bishop Valentine ignored the degree of Claudius and continued to secretly perform wedding ceremonies. When it was discovered that Bishop Valentine was defying Claudius’ decree, Valentine was arrested and dispatched by Claudius to the Prefect of Rome who attempted to compel Bishop Valentine to renounce his faith in Christianity. When the bishop refused to do so, he was ordered to be killed by way of clubbing, stoning, and then beheading.

While imprisoned, Bishop Valentine corresponded with those under his care by sending letters and love notes to his parishioners. During his incarceration, the bishop fell in love with the jailer’s blind daughter, Julia, who visited him during his confinement. It is alleged that Valentine helped Julia restore her eyesight.

On February 14, c. 269 or 270 A.D., Bishop Valentine was removed from his jail cell and killed. Bishop Valentine had written his love a farewell message, one last love note that contained a closing that has now transcended time: “From Your Valentine.”

It is reported that the bishop’s heart was cut out and sent to Claudius, who then sent the remaining part of the heart, saturated in coagulated blood, in a box with a note to Valentine’s love, Julia.

Julia opened the box, grabbed the note, and in shock and dismay at what she discovered. Julia then read the note: “From Your Valentine.”
