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.

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.
