Maca Root
Indigenous people of the Andes have consumed Maca Root (commonly referred to as Peruvian ginseng) for centuries, calling upon this superfood as a natural remedy for a diverse range of conditions. Western researchers have only recently discovered this ancient herb and the many benefits it may provid. Sexual health, improving fertility, and combating the effects of menopause are only a few benefits this healing herb has to offer.
Sexual Benefits
The Maca Root has long been considered to be a prized potent aphrodisiac and effective sexual stimulant in the Peruvian Andes. Maca is believed to have the ability to increase a person's libido by up to 180 percent. It also aids in alleviating stress-related sexual dysfunction.
Endurance
The main action of this powerful superfood is to strengthen endurance and energy levels. Testosterone also seems to be increased as well.
Menopause Benefits
Maca Root is often used in menopausal women as a replacement to hormone replacement therapy, or HRT. While HRT causes ovaries to atrophy and stimulates hormone production, Maca Root will simply balance these without damaging the body.
Menstrual Benefits
Maca is considered an effective treatment for relieving menstrual symptoms. Many menstrual symptoms are directly related to the body of a woman being unable to fully absorb the minerals and vitamins that it needs. The Maca Root's hormone-balancing qualities and antioxidant properties are able to counteract these symptoms.
