While so-called "aphrodisiacs" have come and gone in history, Muira Puama has risen above this class of products and may well provide the most effective natural therapeutic approach for loss of libido in both sexes.
Muira puama is a plant. The wood and root are used to make medicine.
Muira puama is used for preventing sexual disorders, infertility and to increase interest in sexual activity (as an aphrodisiac). It is also used for upset stomach, joint pain (rheumatism), and paralysis caused by poliomyelitis; and as a general tonic and an appetite stimulant.
Muira Puama is one of the most active botanicals with a long history of traditional use as an energy tonic, general health improver, remedy for male potency, stamina & sexual insufficiency.
The roots of this Amazonian tree were the subject of a study conducted by the UCLA School of Medicine.
The study showed a significant improvement in both erectile function and sexual desire. The Amazon natives have known this for centuries, as this herb has been widely used as an aphrodisiac by both men and women, and is commonly known as "potent wood".
The short term effects of Muira Puama include increasing blood flow to the pelvic area, aiding men's functions in men as well as sensation and orgasm in women. Longer term use enhances the production of sex hormones in both sexes. It has no noted side effects though, as with many sexual stimulants, it can slightly raise blood pressure.
Muira Puama has also been used for stress management, nervous system stimulation and for general overall health. Two French studies showed that muira Puama seemed to improve libido and sexual function. Scientists also believe that this herb increases testosterone levels.
It has been used to tonify the nervous system and to treat cases of mild exhaustion. It can also help with gastrointestinal and reproductive disorders, while it's anti-rheumatic properties have been used for treating stress and trauma.
A clinical study with 262 patients complaining of lack of sexual desire and the inability to attain or maintain an men's function demonstrated Muira Puama extract to be effective in many cases. Within 2 weeks 62% of patients with loss of libido claimed that the treatment had dynamic effect while 51 percent of patients with "men's function failures" felt that muira Puama was of benefit. From the preliminary information, it appears that it works on enhancing both psychological and physical aspects of sexual function.
