Maca: An Ancient Incan Herb to Increase Libido
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is an annual plant that is grown in the high-altitude zone of the Andes Mountains in Peru. The root of maca can be dried and stored and will keep for seven years. Maca was highly revered by the Inca according to legend. Incan warriors would consume maca before entering into battle. The story goes that after conquering a city the Incan soldiers were stopped from using maca in order to protect the conquered women from the warriors’ powerful sexual impulses.
Maca is recommended for fertility problems, sterility, and other sexual disorders. However, in Peru it has long been known as a potent aphrodisiac. Research has proven that it acts on certain areas of the body that produce hormones and energizing substances, which enhance libido and increase virility.Today, more and more people are looking for natural ways to boost their sex drive, and maca ,the ancient herb of the Inca Indians, is more popular than ever.
Maca is essentially an adaptogen and, therefore, adapts to the body’s metabolism and particular needs to achieve an overall sense of well-being. It balances the functioning of the hypothalamus and pituitary master glands. It also balances and optimizes the functioning of the adrenal glands, as well as the thyroid and the pancreas. It is believed that maca increases and optimizes the levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in the body. It is for this reason that many people think maca is so effective at increasing libido in both men and women.
Maca can be purchased in tablet, capsule or extract form. It is usually taken 2-3 times a day. You can also mix maca powder into yogurt, cooked cereal, or your favorite beverage.
