edible aphrodisiac
Yohimbe is a tree that grows throughout the African nations of Cameroon, Gabon and Zaire.
(A similar plant in South America is called Quebracho). For centuries, natives from these areas have ingested both the crude bark and purified compound as a tonic to enhance sexual prowess and as an aphrodisiac.
The bark has been smoked as a hallucinogen and has been used in traditional medicine to treat angina and hypertension. The herb is a sensual stimulant for healthy men and women. Today, doctors prescribe an extract from the tree to treat organic impotence.
Yohimbe's energizing effects stem from it's ability to increase blood flow to the genitals, both male and female. It is thought to stimulate the pelvic nerve ganglia and thus is helpful for men with erection problems. In fact a prescription drug, yohimbine hydrochloride, is the only FDA approved drug for impotence. Effects can include increased libido, increased sensation and increased stamina.
Women have also reported similar effects and general pleasant sensations.
Yohimbe bark contains about 6% yohimbine. This constituent is an indole alkaloid that is classified as an alpha-2-adrenergic blocking agent. The herb has a general nervous system stimulatory effect and can cause changes in blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. It can increase the heart rate, raise body temperature and increase blood pressure. At higher dosages, it has a mild Spirulina And Horse psychotropic effect.
Yohimbe bark stimulates chemical reactions in the body that may aid in psychogenic cases of impotence, due to fatigue, tension and stress. Clinical studies have shown the herb to be effective in restoring potency in diabetic and heart patients who suffer from impotency. As an alpha-adrenoreceptor blocker, yohimbe reduces the effect of hormones that cause constriction of blood vessels, which typically increases as we age. It increases the body's production of norepinephrine which is essential in the formation of erections. Yohimbe may also boost the adrenaline supply to nerve endings, which can quicken male sensual stimulation. It has been used in combination with ginseng and saw palmetto as a remedy for men with low sex drive.
Yohimbe is also a short term MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor and should be used with caution, especially if you have high blood pressure. Being an MAO inhibitor, yohimbe should not be taken with any food or drink containing tyramines (cheese, chocolate, beer, aged meats, nuts, etc.) and particularly not with the amino acids tyrosine or phenylalanine. A rise in blood pressure can result from the body not being able to remove the tyramines from these foods. It may be dangerous if used with anti-depressants, sedatives, antihistamines, caffeine, or amphetamines. Yohimbe may have other side effects such as racing heart rate, irritability, headache, nausea, sweating, dizziness and frequent urination. Anyone with a heart condition, kidney disease, glaucoma or history of gastric or duodenal ulcers should avoid

Some women use sexual stimulant products to add something different to their sex lives while others actually need a hormonal supplement to help them achieve sexual stimulation. Sexual Stimulation When hormones are balanced, sexual stimuli signals pass from the limbic lobe often referred to as the "pleasure center" of the brain to the sexual organs. Neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine then release pleasurable arousing messages throughout a woman's body. Sexual Dysfunction Some factors related to sexual dysfunction in women include; stress, illness and aging. These conditions can affect our body's ability to produce certain chemicals responsible for sexual desire. Sometimes women need the aid of a female aphrodisiac to assist or improve their sexual stimulation. Stress Stress is a common factor amongst women in today's world. Many women juggling both a career and a family have little energy left to devote to a relationship. When stress catches up to a woman it often has an effect on her sexual drive. Illness When an illness causes a woman to lose her sexual appetite she may not feel very sexy or desirable. Sometimes a sexual stimulant in the form of a female aphrodisiac can help her to lose some of her inhibitions and relax enough to enjoy lovemaking. Aging As a woman ages, important hormones such as estrogen and testosterone responsible for sexual drive begin to decrease; as a result a woman's sexual appetite also diminishes. Remedies Whether your sexual desire is lagging due to stress, illness or because of a decline in necessary hormones there are many sexual stimulants on the market that can act as a female aphrodisiac. Certain vitamins and minerals found in foods, herbal remedies, and even exercise can raise the levels of hormones to enhance a woman's sexual desire Aphrodisiac History The history relating to the female aphrodisiac goes a long way back to the beginning of mankind. Human body odor is the earliest known aphrodisiac. Scent or the sense of smell is closely related to sexual proclivity as most animal species use scent to determine a female's readiness to mate. Pheromones When a woman feels sexual attraction she may feel a powerful force that draws her to another person. Passionate feelings begin to arise and a longing for this person begins. Human pheromones, natural female aphrodisiacs, are responsible for this incredible attraction. Animals as well as human beings exude a scent that draws others to them. Pheromones have been referred to as "smell prints," that are unique in everyone. Smell is a sense that goes straight to the brain's limbic lobe creating an immediate emotional reaction. Aphrodisiac Uses Aphrodisiacs were originally sought as a remedy for various sexual anxieties including fears of inadequate p Salvia divinorum is a perennial labiate used for curing and divination by the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico.

alse Peyote. These people make long pilgrimages to the sacred places where peyote grows in search of that sacrement. They believe that if a person is has not been properly purified the spirits will lead him to the False Peyote and if he partakes of it, he will suffer madness or at least a bad trip. The plant is known among some tribes as Chautle or Chaute. These names are also used for other Ariocarpus species. This cactus contains hordenine, Nmethyltryamine in fairly small amounts (about 0.02 percent) and traces of Nmethyl- 3,4-dimethoxy-B-phenethylamine, and N-methyl-4-B-phenethylamine. Aside from these alkaloids it also contains a flavone called retusin (3,3',4',7- tetramethoxy-5-hydroxyflavone). Although alkaloid content may very some at different seasons or stages of growth, from the scientific point of view the amounts present in this plant appear insufficient to produce any psychopharmacological response. SUNAMI: This plant, ARIOCARPUS FISSURATUS, has been used in folkoric medicine of Mexico and southwestern USA. It is believed to be more potent than peyote and is used in the same manner as that cactus or made into an intoxicating drink. Among some tribes it is known as Chaute (a generic term for Ariocarpus species), living rock, or dry whiskey. The latter name, however, is often used for peyote and other psychoactive cacti. There are two varieties of A. fissuratus: var. lloydii and var. fissuratus. Both have about the same phytochemical makeup. The plant contains mostly hordenine, less N-methyltyramine and some N-methyl-3,4-dimethoxy-B-phenethylamine. Two other species, A. kotschoubeyanus also known as Pata De Venado or Pezuna De Venado, and A. trigonus also contain these alkaloids. DOÑANA: This small cactus, CORYPHANTHA MACROMERIS, from northern Mexico has been found to contain macromerine, a phenethylamine drug reputed to have about 1/5 the potency of mescaline. It also contains normacromerine, Nformylnor- macromerin, tyramine, N-methyltramine, hordenine, N-methyl-3,4- dimethoxy-B-phenethylamine, metanephrine, and synephrine (a macromerine precursor). Other coryphantha species which contain macromerine with most of these other alkaloids include: C. pectinada, C. elephantideus, C. runyonii and C. cornifera var. echinus. Most of these alkaloids with the exception of macromerine have also been found in other varieties of C. conifera and in C. durangensis, C. ottonis, C. poselgeriana and C. ramillosa. Considering that there is usually no more than 0.1 percent macromerine in Doñana and that a gram or more of this alkaloid may be needed to produce a psychotropic effect, one would have to consume more than a kilo of the dried cactus or 20 pounds of the fresh plant. Clearly this is not possible for most humans. If one wishes to experiment with the hallucinogenic properties of Doñana, is is necessary first to make an extraction of the mixed alkaloids. Methods for this are given latter in this guide. DOLICH OTHELE: Several tribes occasionally use any one of several species of Dolichothele as a peyote-like sacrament. These include D. baumii, D. longimamma, D. melalenca, D. sphaerica. D. surculosa, and D. uberiforma. Recent investigations have revealed in these the presence of small amounts of the alkaloids N-methylphenethylamine, B-O-methylsynephrine, Nmethyltryamine, synephrine, hordenine, and dolichotheline (Nisovalerylhistamine). MISCELLANEOUS: Several other cacti have been used by the Tarahumares as peyote substitutes. Among these are Obregonia denegrii, Aztekium ritterii, Astrophytum asterias, A. capricorne, A. myriostigma (Bishops cap), and Solisia pectinata. The Tarahumares also consume a cactus which they call Mulato (Mammillaria micromeris) and claim that it prolongs life, gives speed to runners, and clarifies vison for mystical insights. Another cactus similarly employed is known as Rosapara (Epitheliantha micromeris) is believed by many botanists to be the same species as Mulato, but at a later vegetative stage. The large cactus Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum, known locally as Cawe, has occasionally been used as a narcotic. What little studies have been carried out on these cacti have revealed the presence of alkaloids most of the other species we have discussed, but no mescaline or macromerine. Many of these alkaloids have some psychopharmacalogical properties, but nothing to compare with those two drugs. Furthermore, the amounts of these alkaloids are usually so small as to be insignificant. For example, the species Obregonia denegrii contains tyramine 0.003 percent, hordenine 0.002 percent, and N-methyltyramin 0.0002 percent. These are all known sympathomimetics, but the percentages are far too minute to have any value. Several publications in recent years have mentioned the sacramental use of these cacti. As a result thousands of people have obtained these plants from cactus dealers and ingested them, usually with disappointing (and sometimes nauseating) results. Sadly many of these cacti are quite rare. If too many people destroy them experimentally, they may become a seriously endangered species. The most suitable cacti for a true psychedelic experience are peyote, which is for the most part illegal, and several species of Trichocereus (such as San Pedro), which are still legal. SAN PEDRO: This cactus has gained considerable fame in the past five years after numerous reports that it is hallucinogenic, contains mescaline, and is readily available from cactus nurseries. This plant known botanically as Trichocereus pachanoi, is native to the Andes of Peru and Equador. Unlike the small peyote cactus, San Pedro is large and multi-branched. In it's natural enviorment, it often grows to heights of 10 or 15 feet. It's mescaline content is less than that of peyote (0.3 - 1.2 percent), but because of it's great size and rapid growth, it may provide a more economical source of mescaline than peyote. One pla Culinary Aphrodisiacs A woman's sexual appetite can be enhanced by eating certain foods. Foods that are believed to act as a female aphrodisiac include the following. Asparagus This vegetable is rich in vitamin E that has been known to stimulate production of women and men's sex hormones essential for a healthy sex life. Chilli Peppers Capsaicin is the chemical ingredient responsible for the hot effect of the chilli pepper. It stimulates nerve endings, raises your pulse and makes you sweat! It is believed that eating hot foods such as chilli peppers can evoke the release of endorphins that create a natural high conductive to the feelings you have during love-making. Almond This type of nut has always been a symbol of fertility throughout the ages. The aroma is thought to induce passion in a woman. Bananas Bananas are rich in potassium and B vitamins, necessary for sex hormone production. Truffles The Greeks and the Romans considered the rare truffle mushroom to be a female aphrodisiac. The musky scent is stimulatingly aromatic and makes the skin sensitive to touch. Chocolate Chocolate contains a stimulant called phenylethylamine, known as the "love chemical" that creates a feeling of well being and excitement similar to the feeling you experience during intimacy. Historical Aphrodisiac As far back as history goes the need for a male or female aphrodisiac has been sought by many who had created recipes thought to induce sexual stimulation. Some ingredients commonly used included the following; Anise, basil, carrot, salvia, gladiolus root, orchid bulbs, pistachio nuts, rocket (arugula), sage, sea fennel, turnips, skink flesh (a type of lizard) and river snails. As well as enhancing one's sex drive there have been foods that have been known in history to contribute to a decline in one's libido that are believed to be the following; dill, lentil, lettuce, watercress, rue, and water lily.

tetramethoxy-5-hydroxyflavone). Although alkaloid content may very some at
different seasons or stages of growth, from the scientific point of view the
amounts present in this plant appear insufficient to produce any
psychopharmacological response.
SUNAMI: This plant, ARIOCARPUS FISSURATUS, has been used in folkoric
medicine of Mexico and southwestern USA. It is believed to be more potent than
peyote and is used in the same manner as that cactus or made into an
intoxicating drink. Among some tribes it is known as Chaute (a generic term for
Ariocarpus species), living rock, or dry whiskey.
The latter name, however, is
often used for peyote and other psychoactive cacti. There are two varieties of A.
fissuratus: var. lloydii and var. fissuratus. Both have about the same
phytochemical makeup. The plant contains mostly hordenine, less N-methyltyramine
and some N-methyl-3,4-dimethoxy-B-phenethylamine. Two other
species, A. kotschoubeyanus also known as Pata De Venado or Pezuna De
Venado, and A. trigonus also contain these alkaloids.
DOÑANA: This small cactus, CORYPHANTHA Genital Skiniks Aphrodisiac Aphrodisiac MACROMERIS, from northern
Mexico has been found to contain macromerine, a phenethylamine drug reputed
to have about 1/5 the potency of mescaline.
It also contains normacromerine, Nformylnor-
macromerin, tyramine, N-methyltramine, hordenine, N-methyl-3,4-
dimethoxy-B-phenethylamine, metanephrine, and synephrine (a macromerine
precursor).
Other coryphantha species which contain macromerine with most of
these other alkaloids include: C. pectinada, C. elephantideus, C. runyonii and C.
cornifera var. echinus. Most of these alkaloids with the exception of macromerine
have also been found in other varieties of C. conifera and in C. durangensis, C.
ottonis, C. poselgeriana and C. ramillosa. Considering that there is usually no
more than 0.1 percent macromerine in Doñana and that a gram or more of this
alkaloid may be needed to produce a psychotropic effect, one would have to
consume more than a kilo of the dried cactus or 20 pounds of the fresh plant.
Clearly this is not possible for most humans.
If one wishes to experiment with the
hallucinogenic properties of Doñana, is is necessary first to make an extraction of
the mixed alkaloids.
Methods for this are given latter in this guide.

OTHELE: Several tribes occasionally use any one of several species of
Dolichothele as a peyote-like sacrament. These include D. baumii, D.
longimamma, D. melalenca, D. sphaerica. D. surculosa, and D. uberiforma.
Recent investigations have revealed in these the presence of small amounts
Aphrodisiac Skin Skiniks.Net of
the alkaloids N-methylphenethylamine, B-O-methylsynephrine, Nmethyltryamine,
synephrine, hordenine, and dolichotheline (Nisovalerylhistamine).
MISCELLANEOUS: Several other cacti have been used by the Tarahumares as
peyote substitutes. Among these are Obregonia denegrii, Aztekium ritterii,
Astrophytum asterias, A. capricorne, A. myriostigma (Bishops cap), and Solisia
pectinata. The Tarahumares also consume a cactus which they call Mulato
(Mammillaria micromeris) and claim that it prolongs life, gives speed to runners,
and clarifies vison for mystical insights. Another cactus similarly employed is
known as Rosapara (Epitheliantha micromeris) is believed by many botanists to
be the same species as Mulato, but at a later vegetative stage. The large cactus
Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum, known locally as Cawe, has occasionally been
used as a narcotic.
What little studies have been carried out on these cacti have revealed the
presence of alkaloids most of the other species we have discussed, but no
mescaline or macromerine. Many of these alkaloids have some
psychopharmacalogical properties, but nothing to compare with those two drugs.
Furthermore, the amounts of these alkaloids are usually so small as to be
insignificant. For example, the species Obregonia denegrii contains tyramine
0.003 percent, hordenine 0.002 percent, and N-methyltyramin 0.0002 percent.
These are all known sympathomimetics, but the percentages are far too minute
to have any value.
Several publications in recent years have mentioned the
sacramental use of these cacti.
As a result thousands of people have obtained
these plants from cactus dealers and Aphrodisiac Turkey ingested them, usually with disappointing
(and sometimes nauseating) results.
Sadly many of these cacti are quite rare. If
too many people destroy them experimentally, they may become a seriously
endangered species. The most suitable cacti for a true psychedelic experience
are peyote, which is for the most part illegal, and several species of Trichocereus
(such as San Pedro), which are still legal.
SAN PEDRO: This cactus has gained considerable fame in the past five years
after numerous reports that it is hallucinogenic, contains mescaline, and is readily
available from cactus nurseries. This plant known botanically as Trichocereus
pachanoi, is native to the Andes of Peru and Equador. Unlike the small peyote
cactus, San Pedro is large and multi-branched. In it's natural enviorment, it often
grows to heights of 10 or 15 feet. It's mescaline content is less than that of
peyote (0.3 - 1.2 percent), but because of it's great size and rapid growth, it may
provide a more economical source of mescaline than peyote. One pla
An aphrodisiac is an agent which acts on the mind and causes the arousal of the mood of sexual desire. The name comes from the Greek goddess of love Aphrodite. Desire can be stimulated by a variety of events or situations (see sexual arousal), but this article focuses on foods and drugs to which an aphrodisiac effect has been attributed.
Newly introduced exotic fruits or vegetables often acquire such a reputation, at least until they become more familiar.

Some aphrodisiacs appear to gain their reputation from the principles of sympathetic magic, e.g. oysters, due to their shape.
This also explains the trade in the phallic-looking rhinoceros horn, which is endangering this animal.
(See Carl Hiaasen's 1999 novel Sick Puppy.) Other animal-based aphrodisiacs gain their reputation from the apparent virility or aggressiveness of the animal source - such as tiger penis - also endangering the species. The use of rhino horn and tiger penis to enhance male sexuality is popular among the Chinese (although no scientific basis has been established).
Turtle eggs, eaten raw with salt and lime juice, are also said to be an aphrodisiac, leading to the poaching of many turtles, which are cut up to extract their eggs.

Yohimbe is a tree that grows throughout the African nations of Cameroon, Gabon and Zaire. (A similar plant in South America is called Quebracho). For centuries, natives from these areas have ingested both the crude bark and purified compound as a tonic to enhance sexual prowess and as an aphrodisiac. The bark has been smoked as a hallucinogen and has been used in traditional medicine to treat angina and hypertension. The herb is a sensual stimulant for healthy men and women. Today, doctors prescribe an extract from the tree to treat organic impotence.
Yohimbe's energizing effects stem from it's ability to increase blood flow to the genitals, both male and female. It is thought to stimulate the pelvic nerve ganglia and thus is helpful for men with erection problems. In fact a prescription drug, yohimbine hydrochloride, is the only FDA approved drug for impotence.
Effects can include increased libido, increased sensation and increased stamina. Women have also reported similar effects and general pleasant sensations.
Yohimbe bark contains about 6% yohimbine. This constituent is an indole alkaloid that is classified as an alpha-2-adrenergic SUPPLEMENT
aphrodisiac SUPPLEMENT blocking agent. The herb has a general nervous system stimulatory effect and can cause changes in blood pressure by dilating blood vessels.
It can increase the heart rate, raise body temperature and increase blood pressure. At higher dosages, it has a mild psychotropic effect.
Yohimbe bark stimulates chemical reactions in the body that may aid in psychogenic cases of impotence, due to fatigue, tension and stress. Clinical studies have shown the herb to be effective in restoring potency in diabetic and heart patients who suffer from impotency.
As an alpha-adrenoreceptor blocker, yohimbe reduces the effect of hormones that cause constriction of blood vessels, which typically increases as we age. It increases the body's production of norepinephrine which is essential in the formation of erections. Yohimbe may also boost the adrenaline supply to nerve endings, which can quicken male sensual stimulation. It has been used in combination with ginseng and saw palmetto as a remedy for men with low sex drive.
Yohimbe is also a short term MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor and should be used with caution, especially if you have high blood pressure. Being an MAO inhibitor, yohimbe should not be taken with any food or drink containing tyramines (cheese, chocolate, beer, aged meats, nuts, etc.) and particularly not with the amino acids tyrosine or phenylalanine. A rise in blood pressure can result from the body not being able to remove the tyramines from these foods. It may be dangerous if used with anti-depressants, sedatives, antihistamines, caffeine, or amphetamines. Yohimbe may have other side effects such as racing heart rate, irritability, headache, nausea, sweating, dizziness and frequent urination. Anyone with a heart condition, kidney disease, glaucoma or history of gastric or duodenal ulcers should avoid

DOLICH The researchers claim that this is the first time that a causal connection between migraine and major depression has been established that results from bidirectional influences. This means that each disorder increases the risk for first onset of the other. In other words, having depression predisposes one to migraine, and vice versa. This undermines the idea that the connection is psychological - an explanation that would be plausible only if the researchers had found a one-directional effect from migraine to depression. The researchers concluded that there is no simple explanation for the migraine/depression connection and that it is probably biochemical in nature, indicating that supplementation is a plausible solution. While the 5-HT precursors tryptophan and 1-5-HTP cause an increase in serum prolactin concentration, a combination of 1-5-HTP with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor was found to reduce the serum prolactin concentration. This combination seemed to behave like a DA agonist. This effect is not produced by the decarboxylase inhibitor per se. A possible explanation is that 5-HTP is converted to 5-HT in CA-ergic neurons, that 5-HT supersedes the CA from the stores, and that some of the CA reach the synaptic cleft and stimulate CA receptors. Another possible explanation is that 5-HTP decarboxylase is centrally inhibited as well, and that an effect of 5-HTP itself is involved here. In view of the observations made it is doubtful whether the therapeutic effect of 5-HTP combined with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor in depressions and myoclonus can in fact be atributed to activation of central serotonergic systems.

What little studies have been carried out on these cacti have revealed the presence of alkaloids most of the other species we have discussed, but no mescaline or macromerine. Many of these alkaloids have some psychopharmacalogical properties, but nothing to compare with those two drugs. Furthermore, the amounts of these alkaloids are usually so small as to be insignificant. For example, the species Obregonia denegrii contains tyramine 0.
003 percent, hordenine 0.002 percent, and N-methyltyramin 0.0002 percent. These are all known sympathomimetics, but the percentages are far too minute to have any value. Several publications in recent years have mentioned the sacramental use of these cacti.
As a result thousands of people have obtained these plants from cactus dealers and ingested them, usually with disappointing (and sometimes nauseating) results. Sadly many of these cacti are quite rare. If too many people destroy them experimentally, they may become a seriously endangered species. The most suitable cacti for a true psychedelic experience are peyote, which is for the most part illegal, and several species of Trichocereus (such as San Pedro), which are still Powder Gallery Powder legal. SAN PEDRO: This cactus has gained considerable fame in the past five years after numerous reports that it is hallucinogenic, contains mescaline, and is readily available from cactus nurseries.
This plant known botanically as Trichocereus pachanoi, is native to the Andes of Peru and Equador. Unlike the small peyote cactus, San Pedro is aphrodisiac restaurant large and multi-branched. In it's natural enviorment, it often grows to heights of 10 or 15 feet. It's mescaline content is less than that of peyote (0.3 - 1.2 percent), but because of it's great size and rapid growth, it may provide a more economical source of mescaline than peyote. One pla
