Ayurveda texts and modern research back the following facts:
Winter Cherry (Ashvagandha) is a potent adaptogen, which relieves mental stress, a key contributor of poor sexual performance. It is an effective antioxidant that helps in alleviating male sexual dysfunction.
Shilajeet acts as an adaptogen and rejuvenates the body in order to improve sexual function.
Cowhage/Velvet Bean (Kapikachchu) is an aphrodisiac, that supports the production of hormones associated with the ‘pleasure system’ of the brain. The herb is a prophylactic (preventative) against oligospermia (low sperm count).
Small Caltrops (Gokshura) is beneficial in erectile dysfunction as it strengthens the penile tissue. Protodioscin, a precursor of testosterone found in Small Caltrops, is converted to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in the body, which improves flow-mediated vasodilation of the penile arteries.
