Living a long and healthy life is important and you can easily find many natural remedies in the lush vegetation of Jamaica that help treat illnesses and even improve your sexual health. When it comes to having a healthy sexual life, there are also several traditional herbs and plants that can increase one’s libido and boost stamina, which can be found even in your yard. Today we will explore six Jamaican plants and herbs that can help ignite passion in the bedroom or support the body’s endurance.
Medina (Alysicarpus vaginalis)
Medina is a popular herb in Jamaica known to combat several health issues as well as increase stamina and address reproductive health. While some might have only used the evergreen plant to combat the common cold, fevers, anaemia, and low blood count, as well as back and joint pain, the plant has strong aphrodisiac qualities. Medina, which is traditionally brewed as a tea, can be used to treat low libido and support men dealing with impotence or general fatigue. The Medina plant is rich in iron content and grows all year round, which many Jamaican locals find in their yards.
Sarsaparilla (Smilax ornata)
Sarsaparilla root is popular for treating a variety of ailments, including skin disorders, itchy skin, joint and muscle pain, gout, and anaemia, and reducing arthritis pain. The plant, which is rich in iron, is also popular for its testosterone-boosting properties. Sarsaparilla root, which can be brewed into tea, is described to be slightly bitter but is effective in enhancing libido and boosting endurance as it helps to balance hormones and reduce inflammation. Sarsaparilla root has also been used to treat cancer, boost the immune system, and detox the body as it gets rid of toxins from the body, purifies the blood, and makes the kidneys and liver healthier.
Chaney Root (Smilax balbisiana)
Deep in the woodland of Jamaica, there is the Chaney root, which is a traditional herb known for strengthening the body and improving stamina. The herb is typically brewed as a tea and used to boost sex drive and improve blood circulation, which is essential for sexual vitality. Chaney root is high in iron, and the tonic made from it is also consumed to rejuvenate the body and treat low blood count, skin rash, back pain, arthritis, and cleansing blood rheumatism.
Coconut Water
From the coconut tree, you can also find a natural remedy to improve sexual health by drinking coconut water. Coconut water is known for its hydrating properties as well as its ability to support stamina. The natural compounds found in the coconut water help with arousal, increasing sensitivity, improving energy, and raising libido. Coconut water is high in essential minerals, including potassium and magnesium, and helps with blood circulation. It also improves hormonal balance, the digestive system, and the immune system.
Ra-Moon (Epimedium sagittatum)
Many will know this evergreen tree as the ‘Horny Goat Weed’, which is rightfully called Ra-moon or Trophis Racemonsa. The tree can be found growing in the woodlands of Jamaica, and it was traditionally used in Chinese medicine to increase libido by promoting blood flow and reducing stress. The leaves and bark of the Ra-moon are used in many root beverages for their aphrodisiac properties. The tree can be spotted in areas such as Hanover, St. James, Westmoreland, and St. Mary.
Strong Back (Desmodium Incanum)
Another popular plant to improve sexual health is Desmodium Incanum, commonly known as Strong Back. This plant creates an herbal medicine that is consumed as a tea or tonic to enhance strength and stamina. While it is used to boost libido for both men and women, it is well known for mostly improving men’s sexual performance. Apart from consuming the tea for its natural aphrodisiac qualities, people also use the tea to treat back pain and strengthen muscles, asthma, rheumatism, and bronchitis.
Jamaica has a variety of natural remedies that are used by the locals, and each of the listed remedies is beneficial in improving sexual health. It is always encouraged to speak to a physician before incorporating these Jamaican plants and herbs into your wellness routine.
