Herbal Aphrodisiacs

It is common knowledge that there are many things you can do that can bring intensity to your orgasm, including foreplay, but something as simple as a cup of tea can also be of great help?

Herbs can reduce tension and increase blood flow to areas that are more erogenous (great for sex of course :-)). All of these herbs can be taken in teas, fruit juices, shakes and soups.

Skullcap Scutellaria Galericulata

When talking about skullcap, it is important to to take into consideration that skullcaps, in plural, refer to the genus Scutellaria in the mint family, Lamiaceae that contains around 300-400 species.

Skullcap as an aphrodisiac

Skullcap is an effective aphrodisiac because it relaxes the central nervous system and reduces pain. And we all know how important it is to be relaxed when engaging intimately with your significant other. It also increases lubrication to make the experience a more pleasurable one and it tones the nervous system making it more responsive to sexual desire.

How to use Skullcap

To use Skullcap you can either make it into a tea or smoke it.

For an aphrodisiac tea, all you need is to mix 1 or 2 grams per cup of tea and let it rest for 15 minutes. Effects take about 45 minutes to kick in.

Clavo Huasca

Clavo Huasca is a large, woody vine that can grow up to 80m in length. It is found in the Amazon rainforest and other parts of the tropical ecosystem in South America. The clavo huasca was given its name because the roots and bark of the vine (two parts which are considered medicinally potent) smell a bit like cloves although they are two unrelated species of plants.

Clavo has been used by Amazon rainforest indigenous populations for many centuries As a matter of fact, it is used by shamans as an ingredient in various Ayahuasca recipes to help digestion and reduce stomach aches provoqued by the shamanic vision-granting drink that can have unpleasant side effects such as vomiting and diarrhea.

The bark of clavo huasca vine is brewed for extracting an alkaloid phytonutrient named tinantina. It also contains other essential elements such as oils, eugenol and tannic acids.

Clavo, when used in a tincture, is know to be good for skin and hair as it strengthens hair follicles thanks to the essential oils present in the tincture. The oils help keep the scalp hydrated.

Clavo huasca is also used for expelling gas, increasing appetite and stimulating a good digestion, particularly if used as a tincture.

Clavo huasca as an aphrodisiac

Despite its multiple health benefits, its usage as an aphrodisiac is what makes it so popular around the world. The popularity of Clavo huasca has been spreading in Europe and North America, and with reason.

The indigenous tribes of the Amazon know it to be a powerful impotency remedy, for weak erections, and as an aphrodisiac for men and women, it will stimulate libido, and sexual desire in men and women. It is it's special phytonutrients that provide the rapid results. Phytonutrients, also called phytochemicals, are chemicals produced by plants. Plants use phytonutrients to stay healthy.
