Plant For Love- Energetics of aphrodisiacs with Jim Mcondald

plants of love... the energetics of aphrodisiacs saturday, february 15th from 1-4

“Aphrodisiac” is a highly problematic term, predominantly because of the popular but mistaken belief that they create "automatic interest" in anyone/everyone who uses them... products advertised with guarantees for amazing results often fail to deliver, or (not infrequently) are found to be adulterated with drugs. Looking at lists of plants deemed “aphrodisiacs”, we see everything from strong, druglike herbs (yohimbe) to culinary spices (ginger) to adaptogens (ashwangandha) and antispasmodics (kava). What gives? Well, just like all other aspects of herbcraft, one person’s turn on can put another person out… in other words, herbal energetics apply here as well. We’ll look at what indications make certain herbs appropriate to certain people, give you some ideas to ponder with your partner(s), and present the use of these plants as empowering... as something you choose for yourself, and not something to give to others (unless asked!).
