Natural Aphrodisiacs for Men

This week, an Italian study into Chinese herbal remedy Horny Goat Weed (I simply adore that name!) revealed that it may provide a natural alternative to Viagra.  I have never been keen on the taking of Viagra, too many side effects and the thought of buying it on the internet with no medical advice, shocks me.  Folklore is filled with purported aphrodisiacs from oysters and champagne to crushed beetle husks.

Let’s re-visit that little Horny Goat Weed (hehe) again.  It’s also known as Barrenwort, Bishop’s Hat or by it’s Latin name, Epimedium.  This flowering plant (pretty little flowers arent they?)  grows wild in China and has been believed to be a natural aphrodisiac for years.  According to legend, this property was discovered by a Chinese goat herder who noticed sexual activity in his flock after they ate the weed . ( I actually knew a goat once who could perform oral sex on himself – I swear to God, it’s absolutely true! but I digress …)  While the new research did not look at whether it altered mood, they did discover it had a marked physical effect.  (Ohhh matron!)

There’s more…

Muira Puama – the indigenous name for this Amazonian rainforest shrub means ‘potency wood’.  It’s roots and bark have been used in Brazil for centuries to treat sexual dysfunction.  Scientific studies have found this herbal remedy may improve both mood and vigour.

Zinc – found in high quantities naturally in oysters, a renowned aphrodisiac – is essential for testosterone production.

Avena Sativa – extracted from the seed of the common oat plant, it is a popular natural mood and energy enhancer used for treating depression.  Also believed to enhance male sexual response, it has the highest content of zinc and iron of any grain.

Don’t ever say you never learn anything here :) x
