Natural aphrodisiacs that do work

Improve the lifetime sex has always been a great concern for human beings, because of this, many drugs who fulfill this function; unfortunately, the consequences that these provoke can be of great damage for health, that's why we opted to go to natural products that do not generate harmful side effects.

There are many myths surrounding aphrodisiac products, especially those that are of natural origin. If we search, it is more likely that we will find a large list of plants , of drinks Y foods that supposedly, would help us increase libido; but most of the benefits attributed to these are false and that list would be reduced to only a couple.

According to the teacher Massimo Marcone , of the University of Guelph (Canada), the real aphrodisiacs are the saffron and the ginseng .


The scientist says in Food Research International, the journal of the Canadian Institute of Food Science and Technology, which has proven that both substances are "true stimulants of the performance ".

Even though that him chocolate supposedly has aphrodisiac effects, the scientists found no evidence that it is linked to excitement or sexual satisfaction .


"Maybe some people feel an effect due to certain ingredients of the chocolate , mainly the phenylethylamine , a compound that is believed to have an effect on the levels of serotonin and endorphins in the brain, "explains the researcher.

The experts found that the only substances that have been proven to improve human sexual function are Panax ginseng, a plant whose root is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, and the saffron , a spice derived from the flower Crocus sativus .


This spice, the researchers say, was one of the ingredients they demonstrated to have "sustained effects "in the stimulation of momentum and sexual performance . It is believed that there are more plants with these properties, but there are still studies that corroborate the fact.
