One of my all-time faves. I met Diana at an herbal conference and attended her class and I was quite taken by her ability to embrace and enjoy the sensual side of herbal medicine. Her book is a feast of sensual, sexual and juicy concoctions that I have made many times and continue to enjoy.

This book is basically just a list of things, you don't really learn much.
