Botanica Er*t!ca: Arousing Body, Mind, and Spirit

Botanica Erotica provides readers with the ingredients for a lifelong exploration of sensual pleasure. More than just a list of aphrodisiacs, this playful and provocative guide to the foods, herbs, and behaviors that arouse us can help make every day an encounter with Eros and Aphrodite. Beginning with a practical look at the history and use of the world’s classic aphrodisiacs, Diana De Luca moves on to present a feast of “Libidinous Libations” and “Voluptuous Vittles” that are easy to make and outrageous to eat, designed to please the palate and get the juices flowing. “The Lascivious Lavage” helps you create the perfect lotions and potions for romantic baths, and later chapters reveal how to stimulate the physical body through erotic massage, touch, and sensuous dance. This celebra tion of pleasure is ideal for anyone who loves the fully embodied life. DIANA DE Luca expresses the spirit of Botanica Erotica in her daily life, incorporating her knowledge of plants, food, and Middle Eastern dance into her workshops. Co-owner of Rejuvenessence, a company specializing in all-natural face and body care and herbal erotica products, she lives in Sebastopol, California.
