Aphrodisiacs, Do they really Help?

Aphrodisiacs! The word itself can send a tingle of anticipation down your spine. Throughout the ages almost every culture has used various `substances', usually herbal in origin, to put some zip into their love lives or in an attempt to cure the impotent. The types of preparations employed as aphrodisiacs ranged from the useless (except perhaps for their psychological effects) to the extremely dangerous, some being toxic enough to cause death! However, leaving those dangers behind....

There are four main types of herbal substances used as aphrodisiacs. The first and most dangerous are the narcotic, used to intoxicate the user's object of desire, thereby rendering them incapable to resist an unwanted sexual advance. These aren't real aphrodisiacs obviously, just a way of weakening another person's will. These substances are extremely dangerous in even slight doses and are now justifiably illegal in most parts of the world.

The second type are substances that stimulate the mucous membrane of the genitalia, hopefully producing a warm feeling and sexual arousal. These come in the form of liquids (creams or lotions) and are applied externally.

  • Aphrodite lubricant is a special lubricant for both men and women. Containing aphrodisiac herbs and a silky smooth lubricant that is safe for Oral Consumption.

The next group of substances used as aphrodisiacs are herbs that alleviate medical disorders or conditions that interfere with normal sexual function. Any herb that helps to alleviate the symptoms of a variety of genito-urinary tract infections, or that supplies badly needed vitamins or minerals that are lacking in the diet, could be considered as aphrodisiac, as they allow a person with previous physical problems to function normally.

  • Saw palmeto relieves symptoms such as urinary frequency and urgency, excessive nighttime urination, or delayed urination. It helps maintain proper urinary flow by supporting prostate health. A nutritive for the sexual organs it used in the treatment of inflamed and enlarged prostate, impotence, atrophy of the testes, low libido, female functional infertility, low milk production, and painful menstruation. Saw palmeto is especially important for men over 50.
  • Samento (Uncaria tomentosa) is a rare form of Cat's Claw that has been clinically tested. 98% of patients being treated with this rare Peruvian medicinal plant show clinical improvement. Increased energy in particular has been gratifying when used with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and depression. Also said to have a positive effect on infertility, especially when coupled with Peruvian Maca.
  • Ginseng can improve stamina, reduce fatigue, improve performance, and boost mood. In China, ginseng is best known as a stimulant tonic herb for athletes and those subject to physical stress, and as a male aphrodisiac.
  • In some parts of the world Kelp is considered to be aphrodisiac. Kelp is rich in many vitamins and minerals, among them iodine, necessary for the proper function of the thyroid gland. Lack of iodine can result in excessive physical fatigue and a lowered sex drive.

The fourth type of herbal aphrodisiac is the one that seems to have the effect of directly increasing sexual desire and prowess, even increasing the intensity of the sensations felt during orgasm. After some extensive research and experimentation several herbs and formulas that seem to produce the best results in this regard are listed below.

  • Yohimbe Bark, Clinical studies show that yohimbe, a tree bark extract, increases blood flow to the penis and may also increase the amount of a substance called, cGMP, which is needed to stimulate and maintain an erection. It is known to lower blood pressure, fatigue, tension and stress. Yohimbine functions by dilating the blood vessels of the skin and mucus membranes, thereby decreasing the blood pressure and increasing the blood to the surface of the sex organs.
  • Vitamin C with bioflavinoids and Zinc helps boost testosterone levels.
  • Tribulas is Nature's master hormone regulator and has been used for centuries to treat a wide variety of health problems including loss of libido (sex drive), impotence and infertility. Research has shown that Tribulus, taken by Men & Women, dramatically and safely increases sex drive, increases estrogen and testosterone by 10% to 30% without side effects, and in women relieves up to 99% of menopausal symptoms. In men it is also known to help prevent premature ejaculation. It has also been shown to reduce cholesterol and high blood pressure in clinical trials.
  • Kava Kava is obtained from the shrub Piper methysticum. The effect of Kava Kava is to relax spinal activity, producing an euphoric state of relaxation but without impairing mental activity. Some subjects also experience a tingling feeling in the genitalia, producing all the ingredients for an interesting sexual experience.
  • Damiana is obtained from the shrub Turnera diffusa, which is native to the U.S. Southwest and northern Mexico. The inhabitants of this region have used Damiana for many years as a remedy for nervous disorders, and as a tonic and aphrodisiac. Damiana seems to have a positive toning effect on both the nervous system and sexual organs. The best results seem to be obtained when Damiana is taken in moderation over a period of time. It is said to be useful to increase the sperm count in men and to strengthen the egg in women.

Formulated Supplements combine many herbs that have been shown to help increase stamina, mood, enhance your sexual experience, and subsequently the sexual experience of your partner. These are listed below.

  • VIGA is a new, breakthrough super-potent dietary supplement, effective in stimulating sexual activity without a prescription. Made from the world's most erotic herbs to create a formula just for men to enhance pleasure, power, potency and strength. A natural alternative to V.agra without the side effects of prescriptions.

An all-natural stimulant that can support a more robust life as well as love-life for both men and women.
  • Man Bao is a Chinese formula that has been used for sexual stamina, vitality, and ensure the healthiness of the blood circulation system.
