Aphrodisiac: The Herbal Path to Healthy Sexual Fulfillment and Vital Living

This book is Beautiful! The pictures, the recipes, the plant monographs - so much good information and so well written. Your Herb Fairies books and the game Wildcraft! (Learning Herbs) are so awesome and our grand kids and our families love them. And now THIS book is such a special treat for us grownups😊. Such a joy and treat to read. Reading it brings out joy, appreciation, love, gratitude, excitement, curiosity, just slow down, fun, encouragement, and more! And this all comes through Kimberly’s creativity, her extensive herb and plant knowledge and wisdom, and caring loving spirit. I look forward to trying every recipe and I’ve already reread multiple chapters😊. THANK YOU, Kimberly. This is such a gift of LOVE.♥️

Such a BEAUTIFUL and wonderful resource to discover, explore, experience and GROW personal pleasure from!!! Katherine's insight and knowledge is wonderful information that EVERY woman (and man) can learn from! I am thoroughly enjoying and LOVING what I m learning from this beautiful, easy to understand, heartfelt testimonial, recipe book, guide and handbook 101! She is amazing!!! It's so "eye-opening" and great to LEARN that plants and herbs are Nature's Medicine and we need to focus MORE on natural remedies vs chemical toxic options <3. Also, women should be open to learn early on in life the acceptance of, value, honor, integrity, pleasure and importance of their sexuality and the what a true life source it truly is!!! This is a great gift to give any woman on your life, makes a wonderful Bridal Shower or Wedding gift!!! Highly recommend this book!!! Wish I had it 30 years ago, lol!!!

Kimberly Gallagher's book, Aphrodisiac, reminds us of the human need for stimulation. Your mind, your body, your relationships, will all atrophy without it. Each chapter encourages you to explore new sensations, new routines enhanced by plants; whether it be for yourself or to create a special moment in your relationship. We hear the terms "spice things up," and talk of "the sanctity of marriage," but Gallagher invites you to think about those things literally by using herbs & spices to create new sensory experiences and to use rituals & routines to mark this time as truly special and apart from the rest of your hectic day. The photos and writing are lush, but the suggestions are doable. Plus, there is an abundance of kick-ass recipes using what nature has made available to us. This is a book about arousal, fun, and carving time to invest in ourselves & our relationships. Just buy it already, and ENJOY.

This book is the most beautiful book I have ever purchased. The texture of the COVER is sensual in itself...and the interior of the book is proving even sexier....Recipes galore...as my photo shows, I tagged each and every recipe in the book and I am already very happy to say that my first two recipes have been exciting successes.Written with not a bit of shyness and I was very comfortable with the language, although more reserved people mayn't be.Very interesting and educational. Definitely recommend and would gift to anyone seeking a more in depth tome in regards to body and sensuality within in general.

This book is more than what one might expect! It is beautiful. It is as colorful and soft as rose petals. It is engaging and encouraging. It is thoughtful and practical, drawing one into an exploration of generosity and intimacy. Intimacy of relationship through and with the natural realm and kinship between plant bodies, our own bodies and with one another. Kimberly and John Gallagher and most everyone they bring onboard are such great teachers. Like all of their content this book is a book for generations; here is a guide for embodying sharing and modeling a life well lived, modeling healthy embodiment and intimacy.Kimberly took an earlier audience on a magical adventure to a magical place. The magic is still alive and now she is taking us on a more grown up exploration of healing and love. Bravo Kimberly!This IS Love!

I liked the recipes for teas, edibles, lotions, bath salts, face masks. And the idea of making wellbeing products in one's kitchen. Maybe some suggestions are really for people in the prime of adulthood, like between 30 and 60, and, in my opinion, sharing a loving and committed relationship with their beloved. (I remember being young and I know the young just GO!)Older people, and people who live alone, must make all possible efforts to live in their hearts, mind, and body. (And soul, for those who live a religious faith as a blessing). Which means that besides caring for others, helping others, reading and writing, buying flowers and perfumes, we have to enjoy our life now, even as we age: moving, exercising, walking, keeping one's body, clothing, pets, and home clean, enjoying nature and talking with others. We can't hide in our home because we are "tired" or don't want to drive when it's very warm (drive earlier or later!). We should really enjoy the moments we have with others and care enough for ourselves that they can see we love life too. In general, this book encourages a positive attitude towards our life, wherever we may fall in the arc of growing and aging. Homemade teas and bonbons and delightful lotions, anyone? And awareness of joy, pleasure, and gratefulness for our life.

The presentation in the book is just beautiful as well and adds so much to the overall experience. Well researched information about sexuality and sexual health as well as the herbs and many easy to follow recipes to help you get involved and engaging with the them! It also helped very much to hear the testimonials from the participants in the study group. I learned a lot and highly recommend this book to anyone interested in diving deeper into this topic.
