This time of year is a fabulous time to treat yourself, or treat someone you love, to the beauty and pleasure available from the world of herbs. From aphrodisiac nervines (such as damiana and oatstraw) to aromatic treasures like rose, vanilla and sandlewood, the natural world has much to offer us to help us foster connection, sweetness, and delight.
"Herbal aphrodisiacs abound, as Mother Nature is passionately fond of love and fecundity. In the Wise Woman Tradition, we nourish vibrant health, rather than seeking out stimulants, even when it comes to sex. Thus my favorite lover's herbs are... oatstraw and seaweed, burdock and roses, and, of course, chocolate."
