The 3 Most Powerful Aphrodisiac Herbs

The 3 Most Powerful Aphrodisiac Herbs
Science is just starting to catch up on the power of herbs from the other half of the world. And today I’m going to introduce you to three of the best for boosting sex drive. What makes these the three most potent sex herbs known to man is they work regardless of testosterone levels. In other words, you don’t need high testosterone if you want to boost your sex drive. You just need the right herbs to help get your mojo back. In today’s article I’m going to take you through the 3 most potent sex herbs known to man, show you the science behind why they work, and how you can grab all three of them together (plus three more) for less than it would cost to grab just two of them separately.

Maca Root

The first of the three most potent sex herbs known to man was used by the Spanish army in the 1700s to increase energy and drive, and prepare them for battle. But the military later banned it because it heightened their libido too much. It’s called Maca Root. Maca root has been shown in multiple studies to boost libido though it doesn’t affect testosterone levels. A study from Zurich, Switzerland found there’s a certain compound inside maca root called “p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate”... and this compound creates aphrodisiac-like activity in the body. An aphrodisiac is a substance that stimulates sexual desire, sexual behavior and sexual pleasure. But it has more superpowers than just being an aphrodisiac. Maca is also a powerfully helpful adaptogen. Adaptogens are ingredients that support mood and dopamine levels in your body’s biggest sex organ, the brain. In a 2002 study published in the journal Andrologia, maca root was given to men ages 21-56 years old. Self-perception on sexual desire, score for Hamilton test for depression, and Hamilton test for anxiety were measured at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment. The research group found an improvement in sexual desire with maca after just 8 weeks… as well as markers of positive mood and relaxation. See— even though things like anxiety or stress are often overlooked when we talk about sexual desire and performance, it’s actually one of the most important factors for your libido. Because getting too much in your own head can reduce dopamine which basically mutes any signal from your brain to get excited “down there.” But maca supports dopamine and calms the mind. Another study from Forli, Italy tested the effects of maca root or a placebo on sexual function in 50 random men and found the maca root group had supported sexual function over the placebo group and better confidence, too. But as awesome as maca root is for boosting libido, that’s really just the tip of the iceberg for what it can do when it’s combined with the next two potent sex herbs.

Panax Ginseng

The bonafide sex herb is a plant native to Korea that’s been used for more than 2,000 years as a tonic to boost health and longevity. But in “the most thorough scientific review to date” on libido-boosting herbs and superfoods, from the University of Guelph, this ingredient made the top of the list… It’s called Korean Panax Ginseng. Like maca root, Korean Panax Ginseng is an adaptogen that supports a healthy sex life by boosting the pleasure centers of the brain. In fact, it works so well some experts call it “The King of Adaptogens.” Others call is a “natural sex enhancer.” In a study published in The Journal of Urology, 45 men were subjected to the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire, as well as a RigiScan and penile duplex ultrasonography, which is a bunch of high-tech stuff that measures erectile performance. Half the men were then given either Korean Panax Ginseng 3 times per day for 8 weeks or a placebo. At the end of the 8 weeks, the men who took Korean Panax Ginseng saw a noticeable boost in sexual performance. The researchers found, “Scores on penetration and maintenance were significantly higher in the ginseng than in the placebo group. 60% of the patients answered that Korean red ginseng improved erection. Among other variables penile tip rigidity on RigiScan showed significant improvement for ginseng versus placebo.” So not only did this potent adaptogen kick off the whole process by supporting pleasure chemicals in the brain… but that connection led to impressive erectile performance. Researchers from the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine reviewed a group of studies that tested the effects of Korean Panax Ginseng on sexual performance and found in 85% of the studies it had a noticeable impact on sexual desire and erectile performance. But what’s so impressive about this ingredient is that it’s not a one-trick pony. Surprisingly, another study published in the Journal of Medical Investigation found Korean Panax Ginseng isn’t only an adaptogen. It also boosts blood flow to your manhood by relaxing blood vessels and widening arteries. Because of both these benefits, the International Journal of Impotence Research says Korean Panax Ginseng, “Supports all domains of sexual function and can be used as alternative medicine to improve sexual life.”

Tongkat Ali

Next among these potent sex herbs is an ingredient from Malaysia that “feeds” sex chemicals in the brain. It’s so powerful that one man describes his experience with this herb saying after taking it, “I wanted sex in the worst way.” He was overcome with sexual fantasies about his wife, and when they did give into the heat of the moment, he was firm and energized until she was fully satisfied. This exciting ingredient is tongkat ali. A review of studies published in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines found a “remarkable association” between tongkat ali and sexual performance, calling it an “adaptogen of male sexual health.” Another 2012 study from Malaysia tested the effects of tongkat ali or placebo on 109 men ages 30-55 years old using the Quality of Life questionnaire and Sexual Well-Being tests. At the end of the study, the tongkat ali group had higher scores in the overall Erectile Function domain questionnaire. Sexual libido increased 14%, sperm motility increased 44.4%, and semen volume increased 18.2%. The same research team was so impressed with the results from tongkat ali, and how it proved to be a natural aphrodisiac and energy booster, that they ran it through another test. In this follow-up study, men aged 40-65 years old were given questionnaires that aimed to evaluate erectile function, satisfaction, sexual intercourse performance, erectile hardness, mood, and overall quality of life. The results showed those who were given tongkat ali saw significant improvements in their desire to initiate sex, the hardness of their erections and feeling overall happier and healthier.

Now What?

So there you have it… The three most potent sex herbs on the planet. These herbs just go to show that you don’t need to have high testosterone levels to boost your sex drive. In fact, it’s further evidence that even though having healthy testosterone is important for your sex drive, it isn’t what makes or breaks it. Instead, it has more to do with blood flow, stress and dopamine. And that’s exactly what these three herbs address. And guess what… If you were to try and get all three of these herbs separately in their science-backed dosages, it would be really expensive. But earlier this year I struck a deal with my manufacturers and got all three of these sex herbs and a few other ingredients into my brand new libido booster— Man Mojo. Man Mojo is the world’s first combination of the 6 most potent ancient superfoods and herbs supported by scientific research to boost libido, drive and energy, by switching on the three “mojo mechanisms” in the body, which I’ll cover in a later article. Unlike other “libido boosters” out there, Man Mojo does NOT waste any ingredients on boosting testosterone specifically. Sure— these natural ingredients will have a positive effect on testosterone levels, but their main job is to support the processes in your body that matter for libido, not testosterone.
