| Herbal Aphrodisiacs, by Gail Faith EdwardsHerbal aphrodisiacs offer natural nourishment and support for the energy and creativity of eroticism, and can help increase, enhance, stimulate, and maintain existing physical desire, and thus nourish sexuality. All cultures and peoples of the world have used, and continue to use, herbal aphrodisiacs. Herbal aphrodisiacs are defined here as plant substances that affect the mind as well as the body. Their use is documented to at least 60,000 years ago. Some aphrodisiacs gently nourish a lagging libido; others kick it into high gear. Used ethically, aphrodisiacs can be appreciated as a source of joy; plant spirits that help us celebrate our love for life. They are traditionally used in a variety of ways. Some herbal aphrodisiacs are consumed as teas and infusions, decoctions, syrups, mead, and other beverages. Others are eaten as spices, food, pills, and capsules. Aphrodisiacs can be burned as incense or smudge, and smoked in a paper or pipe. Some are used as oils, salves, and ointments for massage and external stimulation, and others are used as snuffs and enemas. An ancient Egyptian papyrus (ca.1700B.C.), written in hieroglyphics, contains the oldest known aphrodisiac recipe. To cool the vessels, to stiffen the softness: Leaves of Christ’s thorn 1; leaves of thorny acacia 1; honey 1; are ground into this honey, and is dressed with this for four days. Herbs and other substances that are used to enhance and nourish sexuality have been regarded as sacred throughout millennia. Use them to nourish your love life in honor of all who have used them before you! And remember, the true source of your desire comes from your love and connectedness, which provide the foundation of our sexual lives. Proven aphrodisiacs include rose, honey, chocolate, cannabis, angelica, opium, ginseng, and many culinary spices. Essential oils that stimulate sexuality include rose, sandalwood, ylang/ylang, patchouli, cinnamon, and vanilla. A study done by the Smell and Taste Research Foundation in Chicago appears to verify what our grandmothers have been telling us all along: that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. According to its research, the two most effective scents for stimulating a strong erection in males are pumpkin pie and cinnamon buns! Life-style adjustments that will help improve your sexual performance and enjoyment include getting rid of your cigarette habit, limiting alcohol consumption, eating less meat and more plant-based foods, such as grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables, exercising daily for at least half an hour, and keeping your weight under control.
