Aphrodisiac is beautifully written. Raw human honesty comes clearly in its pages. Easy read but also hard to put down as each page prepares you for what is next, which may be self or those study participants experiences with the recipes and rituals, recipe or herbal monograph. It applies to any gender, any social, relationship status or age. There is something for everyone! making this book an immediate classic and ageless. Feel as if you were talking to your best friend; normal, sincere, honest. I look forward to trying the recipes nd rituals in my own relationship as an avid but beginner herbal aficionado. Thank you Kimberly for a beautiful book “Soup for the sensual soul”...I pre-ordered this book due to the subject interest and my experience with Kimberly and John’s LearningHerbs.com business having gone thru many of their herbal webinars and several online courses. Have not been disappointed and have not been paid for this review.

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.

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!!!

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.
