APHRODISIAC FOODS

Stories and legends from the past have told us of various plants, spices and foods that seemed to act as sexual stimulants. Collectively these compounds, regardless of their sources are known as aphrodisiacs, after the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Many of these aphrodisiacs also have strong psychedelic effects and have been used in magic rituals to establish contacts with gods, spirits, ancestors, past and future, during shamanic healing sessions, for prophecy, and to heal many diseases.

Different Natural Aphrodisiacs And Their Effects

An aphrodisiac is a substance which increase sexual desire, though they work in many different ways to affect sexual desire and sexual performance. Sex drive in both men and women can be enhanced with herbs. Regardless of their validity, aphrodisiacs have plenty of evidence by happy users to support their claims. Even modern science has begun to discover the benefits of many of these aphrodisiacs on the human libido. However, careful research and great care should be taken before any sort of self-experimentation, some of these herbs and foods are very, very potent. This Central Asian spice is also a mild stimulant.

Asparagus – A classic in the aphrodisiac world, this succulent vegetable with its distinctive taste has a long history as an effective stimulant. Such were its reputed powers that in 19th century in France it was customary for a bridegroom’s last meal before his wedding to consist of at least three courses of hot asparagus.

Asafetida - can be eaten or burned as an incense and is considered the best aphrodisiac from Tibetan Medicine.

Ashwagandha - is considered the king of herbs and is also India's most potent hot plant. It is used equally by men and women, widely prescribed by physicians for adults with low libid and to improve sexual function.

Belladonna - Atropa Belladonna is known as Nightshade or the "witch's plant," The Greek Thessalian witches combine Belladonna root with wine to make powerful love drinks. Fresh berries are eaten, leaves smoked. However, an overdose will lead to death via respiratory paralysis.

Betel palm - Areca Catechu is a strong stimulant. Betel seeds are eaten, which contain alkaloids that have a stimulating effect on the entire body. Betel seed is a traditional aphrodisiac in  Indian  Ayurvedic medicine.

Borrachero - A strong inebriant from Columbia. An aphrodisiac decoctions is made from the fresh leaves. All parts of the plant contain highly active tropane alkaloids, with 80% scopolamine.

Celery - From a clinical standpoint, amongst aphrodisiac foods, it has been determined that celery contains androsterone. As a male hormone, androsterone possesses the ability to generate the arousal of sexual desires within women.

Calamus - A sexual stimulant in high doses, but also a skin irritant. Calamus oil can be added to tea or even better, a bath to promote erection. 

Cardamom - A very sensual spice considered to have aphrodisiac properties. With a peculiar nature; it cools the body when it is hot, and warms it when it is cold. Cleopatra is said to have used cardamom in her baths.

Cayenne - Also known as capsicum, it plays a very large role in blood circulation. When cayenne is ingested, it dilates blood vessels. This allows increased blood flow throughout the body, especially in the major organs. The male reproductive organ benefits greatly from the ingestion of cayenne. It is a widely held belief that cayenne aids in longer lasting erections, with stronger ejaculations and more intense orgasms.

Cistanches - One of the more popular and more potent, yin-yang tonic herbs is found in many formulas designed to strengthen sexual function. Cistanches has been widely used to alter the fertility of both sexes. The ancient classics indicate that Cistanches increases both the flow of yang energy and blood flow to the genitals.

Chocholate - Eating chocolate causes the release of mood-boosting, stress-reducing serotonin. The sweet stuff also causes a release of phenylethylamine, which causes changes in blood pressure and blood-sugar levels leading to feelings of excitement. Just make sure to choose antioxidant-rich dark chocolate.

Oysters  - contain a high level of zinc which is required in the production of testosterone. Testosterone has been used to increase sexual desire and function in both men and women. Oysters are a shellfish that is much more commonly available on the coasts.

Oats -  This particular grain encourages the release of testosterone amongst men. An increase in male testosterone is significant in its correlation to aiding heightened libido.

Pine Nuts - Pine nuts have more protein than any other nut. Besides providing protein to help increase stamina, pine nuts are heavy in healthful monosaturated fats, zinc and other nutrients that are linked with increased sexual desire.
 
Spices - The right spices not only heat things up on the tongue, but also in the bedroom. Chili pepper and ginger help improve circulation and hot spices like cayenne, curry and cumin help warm the body. The intoxicating aromas of exotic spices help infuse romance into the atmosphere. If you’re enjoying what you see, smell, touch, hear and taste then you’re sensual. Spices often score 4 out of 5 here.

Natural aphrodisiacs go back through the history of the written word and passed from generation to generation of the spoken word. What is true that all the of natural aphrodisiacs listed here have differing effects on the human body and may not work for everyone. However, its always fun trying.

THE NATUROPATH

Hippocrates (c.460 - c.370 BC) was the Greek  physician who is now considered as a Father of the Western Medicine. He maintained that the body could heal itself with the aid of natural cures, such as a good diet . Although the term 'Naturopathy' was not adopted until the end of the 19th century, this system of medicine dates back to Hippocrates, whose recommendations more than 2000 years ago included the maxim 'Let food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food'.  In the 19th and early 20th century, pioneers such as Stanley Lief in England, Max Bircher-Benner in Switzerland, and Henry Lindlahr in the United States, all ran residential clinics at which patients were able to fast and undergo physical therapy and water treatments to tackle a wide variety of ailments.

The procedure is especially useful for women whose skin has stretched after more than one pregnancy. For people whose fat deposits are just on the lower part of the abdomen, a partial abdominoplasty or mini-tummy tuck may be an option. Why Is It Needed?
