THE POWER OF 9: PART 9

Yohimbe Bark Benefits



Yohimbe is a true natural aphrodisiac discovered by African tribesmen centuries ago! Because of their ingenious knowledge of their natural habitat the tribesmen knew the powerful ability that this herb possessed. It is safe to assume that their conclusions regarding Yohimbe were accurate...

HISTORY: 

Yohimbe comes from the bark of the Corynanthe Yohimbe tree. These trees are found in tropical West Africa especially the French Congo and the Cameroons. The Yohimbe tree is a tall evergreen that is native to southwestern Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, and the Congo. The bark of this West African tree provides a number of medicinal uses. Some researchers and botanists believe that the yohimbe tree may be endangered due to over-harvesting. Yohimbe bark is harvested during the rainy season, May to September, when its alkaloid content is highest. Since stripping the yohimbe tree of its bark eventually kills the tree, new yohimbe trees are planted regularly. New trees grow relatively fast and can even sprout from the stump of a dead yohimbe tree.

According to early historical records, inner shavings of the bark of the Corynanthe Yohimbe tree were ingested by the males of the Bantu speaking tribes to sustain them during mating rituals. These rituals would often last 10 to 15 days with the participants taking increasing doses of the ground bark(Oh wee, that's what I call getting ready for game time!!). Although customs and rituals have changed dramatically over the years, yohimbe continues to be widely used throughout the African continent. Worldwide usage of yohimbe has been traced back to European sailors who learned of its incredible powers from the Africans with whom they traded during the Renaissance period.

BENEFITS:

Nowadays, Yohimbe bark extract is mostly used to treat impotence for men and women.
When ingested, Yohimbe is assimilated into the blood stream, and Yohimbe's energizing  effects come from its ability to increase blood flow to the genitals - and this applies to both men and women. Aside from its aphrodisiac effects, new research also show that Yohimbe has powerful antioxidant effects.
Take a quick look at some benefits of Yohimbe.

Horny Goat Weed Benefits Surpass Other Aphrodisiacs

 

If you think the name horny goat weed is related to being 'horny' then you haven't made a mistake! This is a supplement which acts as a remedy for erectile dysfunction or other sexual problems. This form of weed is not only used for the purpose of treating sexual drive, but it has been proved as a treatment for a plethora of conditions as well.

The horny goat weed benefits have been discovered recently in US. However, centuries ago, this particular treatment existed in numerous countries. In China, the goat weed plant is known as Ying Yang Huo and according to studies this plant is being used for hundred of years as an aphrodisiac. The name originates from a goat herder who was considered to be the first person to recognize the potential of this plant. As far as amazing story of the discovery is concerned, the herder noticed sudden increase in the sexual activity in the herds after they fed on the plant.

The horny goat weed benefits are derived from the genus Epimedium which is actually a native plant available in China. These plants are also available in different parts of Asia and Korea. In the other regions, this particular weed is also known as barrenwort, epimedium, Bishop's Hat, inyokaku and herba epimedii. Since epimedium is gaining popularity they are now available in tablet forms and even in the form of tea. However, this supplement is not regulated in United States by the Food and the Drug Administration. So it means that the manufacturers of the Epimedium supplement need to prove whether they are safe for human consumption and do not have any side effects. It is different from prescription and any counter of the drug must be well supported by conclusive studies.

Horny goat weed benefits are because of its ingredients of flavonoids or pigments that may affect the different systems and organs of a human body. The flavonoids affect the bone density and immune system. In some cases, there are traces of estrogens which improve sex drive but affect the kidney function. It is also found that Epimedium inhibits the production of new blood vessels and this might helps in curing malignant tumors.

When it is about the sexual health, the horny goat weed benefits surpass any other natural elixirs available in the market. The herb increases the size of the capillaries and lowers the blood pressure level. Moreover, since the plant has the nature of inhibiting estrogen it stimulates the production of testosterone which improves the power of erection & ejaculation.

Horny goat weed has a lot of positive effects on the sexual health and even possess anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps to strengthen the immune system of the body. However, the horny goat weed benefits are mostly related to sexual health. There are various instances in the past about the usage of the weed and how to improve the sexual performance and desire. Soon this natural weed is going to be the substitute of aphrodisiac and will make you more 'horny' in bed!

Check out this amazing product that has Horny Goat Weed in it. It works phenomenal for Women & Men.

EPIMEDIUM BENEFITS & FACTS


Description:
Epimedium is a genus of twenty-one related plant species. The Chinese refer to epimedium as "yin yang huo", which has been loosely translated by some as "licentious goat plant" and explains why Western supplement companies have adopted the titillating name by which it is known in the U.S: (horny goat weed). Epimedium is grown as an ornamental herb in Asia and the Mediterranean region, and various species are used for medicinal purposes, including Epimedium sagittatum, Epimedium brevicornum, Epimedium wushanense, Epimedium koreanum, and Epimedium pubescens.

Claims:
Because of the traditional use of epimedium for treating fatigue and boosting sex drive, the majority of the claims for Western dietary supplements center around sex drive: · Boosts libido (sex drive) · Increases energy levels · Enhances recovery from exercise (via cortisol-control) · Makes you more sexy (not really, but this is what the ads would suggest)

Theory:
The use of epimedium as a medicinal herb dates back to at least 400 A.D., where it has been used as a tonic for the reproductive system (boosting libido and treating impotence) and as a rejuvenating tonic (to relieve fatigue). Epimedium is thought to work via modulation of cortisol levels (the primary stress hormone). Under conditions of high stress, the increased cortisol levels are known to cause fatigue and depress sex drive - so bringing cortisol levels back into normal ranges is also thought to help restore normal metabolism, energy levels and libido.

COMMON NAMES

  • Epimedium
  • Goat Wort
  • Horny Goatweed
  • Yin Yang Huo
Epimedium is a low-growing herb in the same family as coptis. Often used in Chinese medicine as a pungent tea, its yellow green leaves are traditionally steeped in wine before being fashioned into pills. Its Chinese name yin yang huo is literally translated as "herb for the licentious old goat."

USES

Epimedium is a versatile Chinese herb traditionally used to treat impotence, infertility, forgetfulness, back pain, and arthritis. Because of epimedium's ability to dilate capillaries and other blood vessels, it is used to facilitate blood circulation to the brain as well as to the sexual organs, while also lowering blood pressure. Epimedium also stimulates the production of male sex hormones and tonifies the liver.
Benefits of epimedium for specific health conditions include the following:
  • Diarrhea and urinary incontinence. Chinese physicians report that epimedium stimulates muscle growth in the sphincter muscles, which helps bring incontinence under control.
  • Gonorrhea. Epimedium kills the bacteria that cause gonorrhea and stimulates the activity of germ-eating immune cells called macrophages.
  • High Blood Pressure. Epimedium increases blood flow to the heart by causing the coronary blood vessels to dilate. This action lowers blood pressure and is long-lasting, although the body can develop a tolerance to the herb after long-term use.
  • HIV/AIDS, impotence, and infertility. Unlike the many herbs that have estrogen like effects, epimedium is an unusual herb in that it has testosterone like effects. It stimulates sexual activity in both men and women, increases sperm production, stimulates the sensory nerves, and increases sexual desire. This herb increases blood flow to the penis and also prevents a protein called fibrin from being deposited on capillary walls, thus preventing loss of sexual function in men with atherosclerosis. Epimedium's testosterone like actions also allow it to fight the muscle wasting experienced by many people with AIDS. In laboratory tests, chemical components of the herb even act against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) itself.
It seems that the all NATURAL intimacy enhancement herbs are the way to go...Since this herb has been used for thousands of years, why would anyone want to keep putting harmful & sometimes FATAL libido enhancement DRUGS in their bodies?

Ginseng which literally means "root of man" is one of the world's best known herbal remedy, it has been used in Asia for more than 5,000 years as tonic and rejuvenator. Panax ginseng is one variety of ginseng that is most prized by the Chinese, the name "panax" comes from the Greek word "panacea", meaning "cure all". The medicinal properties of panax ginseng are found in both the leaf and its light tan root; which sometimes resemble a human body. A portion that looked like a man would command a higher price than an entire bale of nondescript roots.
The Panex ginseng plant grows best in the cooler regions of the Northern Hemisphere and reaches a height of about one foot. The ginseng plant has yellowish-green umbrella-shaped flowers that grow in a circle around a straight stem, with its five leaflets joined together at one point, it blooms in midsummer. The fruit is a bright crimson berry containing one to three wrinkled seeds the size of small peas. Wrinkles around the neck of the root tell how old the plant is; when the root is mature it is 2-4 inches long, 1 inch thick. The roots of the plants become forked when they mature after 5-7 years.
  • Panax Ginseng contains active complex carbohydrates called ginsenosides, each with the capacity to stimulate or soothe the nervous system, balance metabolic processes, decrease blood sugar, improve muscle tone and stimulate the endocrine system. It enhances the brain's adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) activity without involving the adrenal glands.
  • Asien Ginseng - Panax Ginseng Asien Ginseng (Panax Ginseng)
  • Research has shown that panax ginseng is effective in maintaining and restoring the cell's capacity to function - and therefore may be considered useful as an anti-aging treatment. It is an “adaptogen” supporting the body’s functions and increasing its resistance to physical, chemical and biological stress.
  • Some of the other uses of panax ginseng are:
    1. Alcohol intoxication: Lowers the blood alcohol content by reducing absorption from the stomach.

    2. Alzheimer's disease: Decreasing senility and improving memory and behavior.

THE POWER OF 9: PART 3


Maca root benefits

The maca root is a dietary supplement that has been used by humans for thousands of years, and at one point was even in such high demand that it was used as currency by Spanish people who were colonizing the new world. Maca root benefits were very well known by people, and that is why it was something that was so valuable to them. Not only was this a reliable and important food source, it was also seen as a plant that could be utilized for medicinal purposes. The problem was that the root only grew at relatively high levels of elevation (around 15,000 feet), and it was found in the Peruvian region of the Andes mountain range. This meant that they were not the easiest plants to harvest, and were therefore worth a great deal to those people who wanted or needed them.
However, the specific maca root benefits that have always intrigued people are that it is a nutritious food that gives those who consume it more energy, strength, and endurance. As well as this, many people have used the root as an aphrodisiac down the ages. This benefit has recently been confirmed by scientists who have found that on some level it appears to increase the overall sexual drive of both men and women, and that it can also help to improve semen quality in men. This is not something that occurs because maca directly affects hormone production, but rather it is the unique nutritional content of the maca that causes it to assist the endocrine system in producing extra hormones that are then able to stimulate the sexual drive of people who are using it.
However, there are other important maca root benefits that you should know about. For instance, maca is considered to be a natural remedy for poor immune systems. This is because they are able to work in conjunction with natural body functions to restore the immune to the correct level. Therefore if you are taking maca root as a supplement, you do not have to worry about medical interactions that one may associate with a drug that has been designed to accomplish the same thing as the maca. Other ways that they naturally boost your immunity is by making sure that the body has the mineral levels it requires to be properly nourished.
One of the first symptoms that people often have when something is wrong with their immune system is that they often feel run down and tired. Restoring the body’s natural energy levels are another of the important maca root benefits and this will ultimately help at ensuring that you are feeling and working to your best levels. As well as this, once you start to revive your energy, your body will be better able to fight off illness, so in a way the increase of your energy is actually a benefit that affects your immune system as well. This is because science has shown on numerous occasions that exercise and activity are one of the best indicators that a body that has a high functioning level of immunity.
Something else that is considered to be one of the most important maca root benefits is the fact that maca is able to provide the body with a set of nutrients that directly affects the hormones in the endocrine system. Again, as with the increase in sexuality, the hormones are not directly stimulated into false production, but rather the maca works with the body to make sure that it provides adequate hormone levels on a consistent basis. This includes everything from the Hypothalamus to the Parathyroid gland, and even the Pancreas. All in all, the maca root is most definitely a supplement that can help your body.
