Muira Puama, (1 oz. Liquid)
Muirapauma is a South American tree that is native to the
Brazilian rain forests and is one of the most active botanicals with a
long history of traditional use as an energy tonic, general health
tonic and remedy for impotence and sexual insufficiency. The roots of
this Amazonian tree were the subject of a study conducted by the UCLA
School of Medicine, and 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." Muirapauma has been used by different
native populations in Brazil for enhancement of virility, for
impotence, for stress management, for nervous system stimulation and
for general overall health.
Two French studies showed that Muirapauma does indeed improve
libido and sexual function. Scientists also believe that this herb
increases testosterone levels, though this has not yet been clinically
proven. Muirapauma has been used in tonifying the nervous system and
for treating cases of mild exhaustion. It is also said to help with
gastrointestinal and reproductive disorders, stress and trauma, as well
as act as an anti-rheumatic.
A clinical study with 262 patients complaining of lack of sexual
desire and the inability to attain or maintain an erection demonstrated
that Muirapauma extract was effective in many cases. Within two weeks,
at a daily dose of 1 to 1.5 grams of the extract, 62 percent of
patients with loss of libido claimed that the treatment had dynamic
effect, while 51 percent of patients with "erectile failures" felt that
Muirapauma was of benefit.
