Here are a few such plants with their virtues and their method of preparation. Most are taken as infusions, i.e. herb teas.
Aniseed
A heart tonic. Activates the parasympathetic nervous system and accelerates hormone secretion. Mild mood elevator.
Infuse 10 to 15 grams of dried seed in 1 litre of water. Drink 2 to 4 cups a day.
One can also macerate 15 g of aniseed in 250 g of 90° alcohol, and drink a liqueur glass full of the spirit before meals.
Cayenne pepper
This can be taken two ways:
local application of the fresh juice to the scrotum,
a pinch of the dried powder taken in a spoonful of liquid
honey.
Cinnamon
Gentle stimulant of the gonads without any dangerous overstimulation.
Infuse 10 to 15 g of cinnamon in half a litre of water. Sweeten with honey. Take after all three meals.
Hot wine with cinnamon: add a little powdered cinnamon to a little hot red wine. Drink fifteen minutes before making love.
Clove
This plant contains cheirantine, which acts directly on the urinary tract; the corpora cavernosa of the penis swell by reflex action. This means it is not an aphrodisiac in the true sense, but rather a way of producing an erection.
5 g of leaf and root to 1 litre of water. Drink a coffee cup full after each meal.
Coriander
Improves blood circulation in the pelvis. Can have undesirable side effects: do not take to excess.
Mix 3 g of powered coriander with a teaspoon of honey and allow it to melt in the mouth. Once a day at breakfast time.
Fennel
Use in moderation, as high doses of fennel seed may induce hallucinations or nervous attacks.
Infuse 10 g fennel seed in half a litre of water. Drink one cup after all three meals.
Or: 4-6 drops of tincture of fennel on half a sugar lump, or 2-3 drops of the essential oil on half a sugar lump, taken half an hour before making love.
Gentian
This stimulates and regulates the gonads. It thus has an aphrodisiac effect on inhibited people, and calms those with tendencies toward priapism or nymphomania.
Use with caution: at high doses it can have disagreeable side effects.
10-15 g infused in 1 litre of water, taken at breakfast and in the late afternoon.
Or: 5 drops of the full strength tincture on half a sugar cube at bedtime.
Ginseng
The stimulant, tonic and aphrodisiac effects of ginseng have been praised for the past two thousand years. No other plant contains so many active ingredients in such a balanced, synergetic combination. Ginseng is also effective against stress, which is a further advantage given the importance of the psyche in sexual relations.
12-50 drops of the full-strength tincture in a quarter glass of water, to be taken three times a day: on rising, at 11 a.m. and around 4 p.m.
Or: 10-35 drops of fluid extract to a quarter glass of water, to be taken half an hour before meals.
Or: 1 to 3 capsules of ginseng root powder to a quarter glass of water, morning and afternoon.
Goat’s rue
This is not an aphrodisiac. We include it here because it contains a substance that increases the size of the breasts, and so indirectly increases the libido of the woman and her partner.
Infuse 20 g of the whole plant or 10 g of the seed in 1 litre of water. Drink three times a day.
Can be replaced by 15-20 drops of the full strength tincture in a quarter of a glass of water.
Greater celandine
Use with caution, as it contains several alkaloids that are effective but must not be taken in excess.
Infuse 10 grams of the plant in 1 litre of water. Drink 1 cup morning and afternoon.
Or: macerate 10 g of celandine root in 1 litre of dry white wine and drink a glass before each meal.
This is quite the opposite of an aphrodisiac, but it may be recommended on medical advice in cases of nymphomania or epilepsy.
In cases of impotence or frigidity, a homeopath may prescribe Conium maculatum.
Horseradish
This is a general restorative and tonic. It also contains allyl sulphocyanate, which has a reflex action on the muscle fibres of the perineum, penis and clitoris.
Infusion of 30 g of the fresh root or decoction of 20 g of same per litre of water. One to three cupfuls per day.
Larkspur
Reduces congestion in the genital area. Normalizes libido in hyper-emotional individuals.
Make a decoction of 5 g of seed per litre of water. Drink 1 cup morning and afternoon.
To reduce congestion in the prostate, apply a hot poultice to the perineum.
Maize
Improves blood circulation in the pelvic area.
Boil 200 g of maize in 1 litre of water and strain; drink one cup of the water on rising and at bedtime.
Or: make a syrup with 15 g maize beard extract to half a litre of diluted syrup. Take 1 tablespoonful after each meal.
Mistletoe
Besides its stimulant effect, mistletoe is known to improve arteriosclerosis, which makes it “a miracle plant” for older men with problems of unexpected erection failure. But beware! it is dangerous at high doses.
Infuse 15 g of leaf in 1 litre of water; drink one to three times a day.
Or: a pinch of dried and powdered leaf, mixed with 1 spoonful of liquid honey.
Oats
Improves circulation in the pelvis. Reduces congestion in the pelvic and genital area.
Infuse 10 g of oat straw in 1 litre of water. Drink two or three cups a day.
Or: drink the strained water from boiling 20 g of oat seeds in 1 litre of water. Sweeten with brown sugar.
Parsley
Parsley contains apiol, which produces a slight local irritation of the urinary tract, leading to prolonged reflex erections.
Warning: avoid prolonged use or doses higher than those recommended below.
Chew eight to ten fresh stems daily (as chewing gum).
Or: 60 g of fresh root per litre of water, taken once a day as a decoction.
Peppermint
It is dangerous to use the pure menthol extracted from the plant. Only use extracts or preparations made from the whole plant. They augment tactile sensitivity and automatic reflexes such as erection.
Infuse 15 g in 1 litre of water; drink after meals.
Or: take 3 drops of essential oil on half a sugar cube, fifteen minutes before making love.
Caution: peppermint is incompatible with homeopathic medicines.
Pepper tree
Contains phellandrin, which stimulates the erectile muscles of the penis and clitoris.
Take 2-4 drops of the essential oil on half a sugar lump. Let it melt slowly in the mouth, half an hour before making love.
Persicaria
The organic acids of this plant stimulate the neurovegetative nervous system and have a positive action on the erectile conjunctive tissues of the genital organs. Do not exceed the doses recommended below.
Infuse 10 g in 1 litre of water; drink after all three meals.
Or: 15 drops of the full strength tincture in a quarter glass of water, morning and afternoon.
St John’s Wort
This plant has an aphrodisiac effect because its tannins excite the parasympathetic nervous system, especially in the genital area.
Infuse 10 g in 1 litre of water; drink after meals.
Or: macerate 20 g of the dried flowers or entire plant in 1 litre of dry white wine. Drink one glass.
