Black Seed
Black Seed has been used as a cure for everything except death, so of course it has been effective  in stimulating the body's energy and helps one recover from fatigue and dispiritedness.  For more information on Black Seed click here.

Ginseng
Ginseng is used throughout the Orient as a tonic for general weakness and extra energy.  There are many different types of ginseng: Siberian Ginseng, American Ginseng, Chinese or Korean Ginseng, and Japanese Ginseng.  The Chinese or Korean Ginseng (panax ginseng) is the most widely used.

Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is one of the oldest living tree species and its leaves are among the most extensively studied botanicals in use today. Unlike many other medicinal herbs, ginkgo leaves are not frequently used in their crude state, but rather, in the form of a concentrated, standardized ginkgo biloba extract (GBE). In Europe, GBE is among the best-selling herbal medications and it ranks within the top five of all prescriptions written in France and Germany. Ginkgo leaves also contain two types of chemicals (flavonoids and terpenoids) believed to have potent antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals -- damaging compounds in the body that alter cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death.  Professional herbalists recommend ginkgo for a variety of  ailments including  asthma, depression,  headaches, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, and vertigo.  Ginkgo Biloba is used to improve memory loss, brain function, depression, cerebral and peripheral circulation, oxygenation, and blood flow. 

Saw Palmetto 
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a dwarf palm tree in the family Arecaceae, which is native to the southeast region of the U.S. Atlantic coast. It grows up to six feet with 18"–30" wide leaves divided into 6–20 fan-shaped gray to bluish-green lobes. Its tiny, fragrant, cream-colored flowers are hidden among the leaves in the summer followed by egg-shaped purple-black berries.

Analysis of the 95% ethanol extract of the berries for the known lipid content showed fatty acids, fatty acid esters, and phytosterols.  Other chemical constituents identified in the berries include aliphatic alcohols (C26-30), polyprenic compounds, flavonoids, glucose, galactose, arabinose, uronic acid and other polysaccharides. The actual active ingredient in the berries, however, remains undetermined.

Native Americans viewed saw palmetto as a warrior medicine and it has been used historically to keep men in shape for fighting. For men, perhaps the most significant aspect of saw palmetto is that it has been clinically proven to reduce the symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy. That means that any symptoms of this condition such as urination, poor urine output or discomfort do have an answer aside from surgery or prescription medications, both of which can have side effects of reduced sexual response in men. Men typically report an increase in libido when taking saw palmetto, but just as with black cohosh in women, saw palmetto typically must be taken for about three months before a full response is evident.

Green Tea 
Green tea is also known as Camellia sinensis.  It consists of the leaves and delicate young leaf
buds of an evergreen bush (Camellia sinsnsis) widely cultivated in Asia.  Green tea is the freshest and least processed form of tea. It contains numerous polyphenol compounds, such as the flavonoid catechin, with antioxidant and health-promoting properties.  It has more of these beneficial compounds than fermented black tea.

Green tea contains a large amount of caffeine so its use should be monitored when drinking other beverages containing caffeine.

Damiana
Damiana is the main pleasure enhancing herb used.  It is also known by the name Turnera aphrodisiaca. Damiana is touted as elevating sexual pleasure in both men and women and although still not widely used in America, Damiana is regularly recommended in European countries for couples who are experiencing sexual difficulties. Even though this particular herb has scant empirical research to back it up, the proof lies in the testimonials of those who have used it. Damiana users have reported increased sensitivity, desire, and fulfillment.

The FDA has approved Damiana for food use, and researchers have also found that the plant contains resins, gums, tannins and volatile oils which often end up as ingredients in commercially prepared pastries, candy, baked good and puddings. Whether used as a food additive, or its sexual attributes, damiana is worth looking into with its history of being a strong aphrodisiac which can remove impotence and frigidity regardless of age.

The easiest way to intake damiana is in a tea form. You can make the tea by steeping 1 teaspoon of dried leaves in a cup of boiling water. Steep for five to ten minutes and then strain and sip. Some might prefer to chill the tea before drinking, but hot or cold the aphrodisiac qualities are the same. For the best sexual response, it is recommended that you drink the tea approximately thirty minutes before sex.

Echinacea
A bitter herb used for colic, colds, flu, infections, and snake bites. It has antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory property. Its chemical and nutrient content is composed of: arabinose, betaine copper, echinacen, echinacin B, enzymes, fructose, fatty acids, galactose, glucose, inuloid, iron, polysaccharides, potassium, protein, resin, rhamnose, sucrose, sulfur, tannins, vitamins A, C, and E, and xylose. 

Yohimbe 
Yohimbe comes from the inner bark of West African evergreen trees called pausinystalia yohimbe and Corynanthe yohimbe found primarily in Cameroon, Gabon, and Zaire. The active ingredient is an alkaloid called yohimbine, which is found in higher concentrations in the pausinystalia yohimbe. Pausinystalia yohimbe is verging on extinction due to over harvesting by pharmaceutical companies. Yohimbe's energizing effects stem from it's ability to increase blood flow to the genitals, both male and female. It is thought to stimulate the pelvic nerve ganglia and thus is helpful for men with erection problems. In fact a prescription drug, yohimbine hydrochloride, is the only FDA approved drug for impotence. Effects can include increased libido, increased sensation and increased stamina. Women have also reported similar effects and general pleasant sensations

Because it stimulates the central nervous system, it has been used to treat narcolepsy and for weight loss. Yohimbe increases fatty acid mobilization, decreasing fat synthesis, which means it not only aids in weight loss, but actual fat reduction. Yohimbe is popular with bodybuilders. By stimulating the production of testosterone, it can help build muscle mass. Yohimbe should not be taken by people with heart problems, high blood pressure, anxiety, kidney disease, those who are pregnant, or taking antidepressants.

Rose Hips
Rose Hips are the ripe, fresh or dried seed receptacle of various species of the genus Rosa, which includes Rosa canina (Dog Rose), Rosa centifolia (Cabbage Rose), amongst others. Rose Hips contains Vitamin C, Beta Carotene, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Vitamins E and K, Polyphenols, Bioflavonoids, Tannin, Pectin, and Vanillin. When World War II precluded British citizens from obtaining citrus, they used Rose Hips as a Vitamin C supplement. Rose Hips are a mild diuretic, laxative and astringent. Rose Hips are useful for colds and flu, general debility and exhaustion, constipation, infections and bladder problems. Rose Hip tea is especially good for diarrhea.

Black Cohosh
This herb contains what are known as cimicifugosides which are very chemically similar to estrogen. Black Cohosh also contains actein, another estrogen like compound. These chemical similarities lead credence to the clinical applications of black cohosh which have been shown to reduce many menopausal symptoms in women such as reduce edema, heart palpitations, sweats, moodswings, headaches and more. Black cohosh also has been proven to combat vaginal dryness.

Women should avoid black cohosh if they are being treated for hormone-dependent cancers, and should be advised that usually a woman will need to take black cohosh for at least three months before a difference in sexual response is noticed. 


Red Raspberry Leaf
When most people think of the Rubus idaeus or its wild relative Rubus stigosus they only think of its luscious fruit. Yet, to many people the true value of the raspberry plant lies not within its fruit, but within its leaves. The medicinal applications of red raspberry leaf are specific and flexible.   The leaves are described as astringent in use. The result of an astringent is the contraction of tissue. This is brought on by tannins found in a plant. The action of tannins as an astringent can be effective in soothing inflammation and constricting the tissues of the intestines to prevent water loss. The tannin content of red raspberry leaf provides an effective treatment to soothe diarrhea or intestinal inflammation, especially in children. Red raspberry leaf is of high value to women as well. There is a respected lineage of use of the leaf for aid during pregnancy and delivery. This works for several reasons. First, the leaves contain high concentrations of many needed vitamins and minerals as a result of the plants secondary compounds. Vitamin C and vitamin E are present in large amounts as well as vitamin A and some B complex. Vitamin C is an anti-inflammatory agent that works well with the anti-stress B vitamins to protect the body from the additional stress of pregnancy. Increased vitamin A intake in the form of the carotenoids of red raspberry leaf can aid the women’s immune system as well as facilitate healthy skin and bone development for the baby.   Red raspberry leaf also contains many essential minerals such as phosphorus, potassium and an easily assimilated form of calcium. 

Gotu Kola
Gota Kola is a slender, creeping plant that grows commonly in swampy areas of India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, South Africa and the tropics. Its fan shaped leaves are about the size of an old British penny - hence its common names Indian pennywort, marsh penny and water pennywort

St. John's Wort
St. John's Wort, known by its botanical name, Hypericum perforatum, is derived from a yellow flowering plant. It's been used for many years, especially in Germany, as an herbal remedy for mild to moderate depression, anxiety, and/or sleep disturbances/disorders. St. John's Wort may also reduce chronic tension headaches. Research suggests that St. John's Wort raises levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine — neurotransmitters that help boost morale and mood.
