Heading toward menopause, The Sexual Herbal by Brigitte Mars, A.H.G. hit my wish list and I was pleased to find it amongst the many books my husband picked up for me. I have a deep respect for the wisdom the author has amassed over her lifetime, as a studied woman in the field of plants and one who lives what she teaches. This book covers A LOT of ground, not only food and herbs. She dabbles in other ideology and puts forth suggestions for everything from feng shui to STD’s. Though I wanted the work for the meat of the plant knowledge, I’m a cover-to-cover reader and feel no worse for the wear doing so. If you’re one sensitive to reading anything that doesn’t fall into your tenants of belief and doing so will taint the whole book for you, try sticking with the herbal sections.

The book is chockfull of recipes, potions, aromaterapy, oil, herbal/food supplements and more for everything sex, intimacy and sexual health related. Pretty comprehensive in that department.

However, there was something in the tone of the book, between the lines, something I can't quite put my finger on, that I didn't like and didn't connect to. It doesn't give you the warm a fuzzy feeling, like Susan Weed's books. Feels a little cold and clinical. I don't know... As I said, hard to put my finger on it. But anyway, overall, probably good to have at home as a reference for when in need.
