Abstract:

Aphrodisiacs are among the most widely marketed and consumed herbal products in North-Western Nigeria. There are speculations that these products are being adulterated with orthodox medicines in order to boost their effects and sales. The objective of current research was to analyse the presence of adulterated sildenafil citrate in some herbal aphrodisiacs commonly sold and consumed in Sokoto metropolis. Ten different liquid herbal aphrodisiac preparations marketed in Sokoto metropolis were collected from different areas of the city. Each of the preparation was analysed for adulteration with sildenafil citrate using thin layer chromatography and UV spectroscopy. Five of the preparations were found to contain sildenafil citrate in the range of 34 – 291 mg per daily dose. The findings from this study indicate that some of the herbal aphrodisiac preparations marketed in Sokoto metropolis are being adulterated with substantial amount of undeclared sildenafil citrate, a practice that poses serious public health hazard to its consumers. Consequences of which ranges from nausea, dyspepsia, pain, dizziness, abnormal vision, and headache and potentially heart attack especially among adults with underlying chronic diseases such as hypertension among others.

Abstract:

This article surveys recipes for aphrodisiacs and philters from the medical manuscripts discovered in Mawangdui tomb 3 (burial dated 168 BCE) and Dunhuang manuscripts (seventh to tenth centuries CE). Despite medical views that defined sex as a form of physiological and spiritual cultivation, and that criticised se 'lust,' the aphrodisiac and philter recipes reveal elements of eroticism in ancient and medieval Chinese views of sex.

Abstract:

Aphrodisiacs are substances that function as stimulants to increase sexual behavior. Some plants that have been studied as aphrodisiacs. Based on this background, it is necessary to research The aphrodisiac effect of a solution of nutmeg (myristica fragrans houtt.) on the behavior of mice (Mus musculus).Â This type of research was a qualitative descriptive study consisting of five groups, each with three repetitions. There were 30 mice and each group had 6 mice. The parameters observed were calculating the total percentage of approach (introducing), riding (climbing), and coitus (coitus). The data in this study are descriptive qualitative where the results show an aphrodisiac effect. The primary data were then analyzed descriptively by the research objectives, while the quantitative data were processed by tabulation. Based on the results of the introducing activity study the K2 treatment (0.93 times) was greater than the other treatments, although the value was still small. The results of the research on climbing activity in the K2 treatment (0.55 times) were greater than the other treatments. The absence of aphrodisiac activity (coitus) in this study indicated a slow response to sexual activity, requiring a longer time to respond to female mice that were in estrus.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Kata kunci: Â Aprodisiak, Biji pala, Sumber Belajar

Abstract:

Safed Musli is an important aphrodisiac herb, which forms an essential ingredient of the preparation of more than one hundred Ayurvedic formulations. It has been found to be an ideal aphrodisiac, with none of the negative side effects associated with the chemical-based products. Various plants belonging to the genera Chlorophytum and Asparagus have been in use as aphrodisiacs under the common name of ‘Safed Musli’ because of their white tuberous roots. An AFLP based experiment was carried out to differentiate the members of the ‘Safed Musli’ complex and resolve the authentication problem prevailing in the herbal drug market.

Abstract:

This study explores the biopsychosocial factors that affect the decision of Ghanaian men to use sexual enhancers/aphrodisiacs. The study was qualitative in nature and made use of thematic content analysis as its main tool of analysis. Two focus groups involving ten (10) participants were used in the study. Participant age ranges was between 25 – 59 years. Findings indicated that the decision to use an aphrodisiac involve a complexity of interactions between social, psychological and biological factors. The main social findings were that a man’s sexual ability to perform sex is indicative of status and prestige in society. The psychological reason for the use of aphrodisiacs was to punish women. The biological reasons were to use sexual enhancers as tools to prove masculinity and as a function of age and absence of disease. The study also gave the easy availability of sexual enhancers in Ghana, as one of the reasons. Recommendations centred on education on the effects of sexual enhancers and their availability on the market be controlled.

Abstract:

Indigenous peoples’ knowledge of and expertise in herbal remedies is not new. Although studies have emphasized use of herbal medicine in Africa, it remains unclear how gender impacts the uptake of herbal remedies as aphrodisiac-therapeutic types. Using qualitative data from urban Ghana, this article examines how cultural expectations of male sexuality in intimate heterosexual relationships influence the marketing and patronage of local aphrodisiacs, that is, herbal bitters in the West African context. Analysis reveals links with how men talk about notions of manhood and experiences of herbal bitters, including issues related to insecurities about hegemonic masculine ideals and women’s power. Although dominant masculinity has been associated with practices that allow men’s control over women, it also functions to harm men’s sexuality. Harm reduction requires behavioral modification and sexual and reproductive health and rights education program via media advocacy. A call to scale-up research, policy development, and implementation in regard to the production, advertisements, and patronage of local aphrodisiacs especially in countries in Africa where the phenomenon has risen to problematic levels is sine qua non to this approach.

Abstract:

From the ancient times human have always tried to correct the sex related problems from various herbal medicinal plants and their extracts with various dosage forms. The history of sex therapy is very old and herbal drugs have been the great reliever as the sex therapy from the evolution of human. Instead of the current scenario with the synthetic compounds the herbal drugs are far more safe and comparatively effective without any serious side effects. Antihypertensives such as β-blockers can cause the side effects which are responsible for the diminished quality of life. The chronic use of such drugs can be more fatal in some cases than their actual gain. Several sexual problems can occur such as erectile dysfunction , loss of libido, ejaculation disorders etc. The phytochemicals found in the plants which are having aphrodisiac properties shows sildenafil like effect on human body without the side effects of synthetic compound. The pharmaceutically active compounds found in natural aphrodisiacs such as flavonoids , saponins, free amino acids and vitamins are known to be libido enhancer and hence useful in treating sexual disorders. The natural aphrodisiacs can be derived from any source including medicinal plants , vegetables, flowers ,roots or fruits and their pharmacological potential varies as per the part of the plant used. The target of this review article is to deliver information about medicinal plants for the protective action against fall-off libido due to chronic use of β-blockers and to investigate for further secondary phytochemicals for aphrodisiac potential.

Abstract:

Based on the evaluation of side effects the use of sildenafil as a human phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor drug (HPDE5) has prompted the search for new compounds that have the potential to be aphrodisiacs. The purpose of this study was to determine the interaction of the active compounds nilocitin, stigmasterol, protodioscin, icariin, yohimbine, and ginsenoside against the HPDE5 receptor as an aphrodisiac. The method used in this study was experimental conducted in silico. The metabolite structure is downloaded from the PubChem application, the protein is downloaded from PDB (Protein Data Bank) with the code 2H42. The result of this study is that the active compound may interact with HPDE5 receptors. The interaction that occurs results in the formation of van der waals bonds, hydrogen, carbon hydrogen, sigma, sulfur cation anions, T-shape and alkyls. The active compounds each have a sildenafil bond energy of -9.5 kcal/mol; niloticin -7.8 kcal/mol; stigmasterol -10.7 kcal/mol; protodioscin -13.1 kcal/mol; icariin -11.1 kcal/mol; yohimbine -10.1 kcal/mol and ginsenoside -12.1 kcal/mol with RMSD 0. The interaction with the HPDE5 receptor results in the formation of the same amino acid residue as the comparison ligand. The residual equation shows that the compounds have the same activity and can be predicted as aphrodisiacs

Abstract:

This study was carried out to evaluate the aphrodisiac and antioxidant activities of aqueous and methanolic extracts of two plants used as aphrodisiac in traditional medicine in Kampemba municipality, in Lubumbashi DR Congo. Aqueous and methanolic root bark extracts of both Albizia adianthifolia and Pericopsis angolensis were administered orally to male Cavia porcellus before evaluating their physical behavior in the presence of females and their testosterone, cholesterol and triglyceride contents. The antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH method. At 200 and 250 mg kg-1 body weight (bw), the extracts exhibited a decrease in rise time and intromission time and an increase in ejaculation time, ascending frequency, intromission frequency, ejaculation frequency and testosterone compared to the control group that received sildenafil (10 mg kg-1 bw) used as a reference. A positive relationship between testosterone level and antioxidant activity has also been observed. The aphrodisiac and antioxidant activity observed in the two species justify their uses in traditional medicine as aphrodisiacs. Further work is needed in order to proceed to the isolation and the identification of the active compounds.

Abstract:

The realization of a harmonious family with the fulfillment of the needs of husband and wife is the hope of every couple. However, when problems arise in meeting these needs, couples must find ways to ensure that it does not have a significant impact on the continuity of the household. One way is by using aphrodisiacs. This study aims to examine the use of aphrodisiacs to fulfill the needs of couples in the context of maslahah (benefit). The method used is qualitative with a library research approach. The results of the study indicate that there is maslahah in the use of aphrodisiacs to fulfill the needs of couples, and the level is considered hajiyat (necessary).

Abstract:

Consumption of aphrodisiacs is a common practice in South Africa. Hence, determining the levels of trace metals as potential pollutants is necessary to protect consumers’ health. The current study reports a health risk assessment due to metals in aphrodisiacs collected from herbal markets in Johannesburg and Durban, South Africa. Samples were digested using microwave-assisted digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry analysis. The results showed that the concentrations of common metals (Na, K, Mg, and Ca) were within the guideline limits for human consumption, while the trace metals (Ni, Cr, Co, As, Cd, and Pb) were above the limits, recording values of 0.132–0.268, 0.209–0.308, 0.224–0.405, 0.0884–0.230, 0.0402–1.11, and 0.146–0.207 mg L−1, respectively. The source of the trace metals was traced to the tap water probably collected from dilapidated buildings where the water systems are ailing. A strong correlation for metals with similar sources was observed, notably for Pb and Cd that leach from water pipes. The aphrodisiacs had low consumption rates, and the health risk assessment gave a hazard quotient of 0.225 as a total for all studied metals. The group of aphrodisiacs investigated in the current study therefore poses minimal health risks and can be consumed without fear of metal contamination. More inclusive studies are, however, needed to have a better understanding of aphrodisiacs with the aim of potentially commercializing them like the other commercialized herbal concoctions currently distributed in South African markets and pharmacies.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: polyphenols and alkaloids in herbal plants could have aphrodisiac effect. Betel nut (Areca catechu L) contain polyphenol and alkaloid. Alkaloid of betel nut has aphrodisiac effect, but also has side effect to many organs. Data of aphrodisiac effect of betel nut’s polyphenols is limited. This study aim to determine aphrodisiac effect of extraction of betel nut’s polyphenols in rats Method: twelve rats, Sprague dawney, aged 2-3 months, weight 150-200 gram were divided into 2 group randomly. Group A were given the extract with doses 100mg/kgWB and group B were given extract with doses 200mg/kgWB daily for 35 days. The aphrodisiacs effect determined by difference of mounting frequency before and after treatment. Male rats were mated with female rats which were in estrous phase and were recorded for 7 days. Wilcoxon test were used for statistical analysis with p value < 0,05. Result: extract from extractio’s method that was used in this study had 39,8%(w/w) of polyphenols and 0,98% (w/w) of alkaloids. Both groups had decreasing of mounting’s frequency after treatment (p>0,05). Conclusions: Extract of betel nut from this study had 39,8% (w/w) of polyphenols and had no aphrodisiacs effect in male rats.

Abstract:

Une enquête transversale selon un échantillonnage randomisé à plusieurs degrés a été menée en juillet 2020 à Kinshasa. Cette étude auprès des hommes de 15 à 49 ans visait à déterminer la prévalence de la consommation des aphrodisiaques, identifier les produits les plus consommés, les principales raisons et les facteurs associés à l’utilisation. Plus de la moitié de 713 répondants avaient déjà utilisé des aphrodisiaques au cours de leur vie, avec comme principales raisons l’obtention des rapports sexuels prolongés et l’augmentation de l’excitation. L’âge, la fréquence des rapports sexuels et le district de résidence sont les trois facteurs associés à cette consommation. Les hommes de 35 à 49 ans sont 2,53 fois [IC 95 % : 1,20 à 5,31] plus susceptibles de consommer les aphrodisiaques que ceux de 15 à 24 ans. Les participants ayant eu deux rapports sexuels dans les quatre semaines précédant l’enquête courent 4,98 fois [IC 95 % : 3,06 à 8,09] le risque de consommer des aphrodisiaques que ceux qui ont un seul rapport sexuel (la référence). De trois à cinq rapports sexuels le risque était de 10,26 fois [IC 95 % : 6,21 à 16,94] plus que la référence, et à partir de 6 rapports le risque était 8,54 fois [IC 95 % : 4,51 à 16,15]. À part le sildénafil, des ingrédients à base des plantes imbues des boissons alcoolisées sont plus consommés dans un but récréatif. Une campagne d’information et sensibilisation est recommandée pour contrôler au maximum le risque de consommation abusive des aphrodisiaques. A cross-sectional survey using a multi-stage randomised sampling was conducted in July 2020 in Kinshasa. This study among men aged 15-49 years aimed to determine the prevalence of aphrodisiac use, identify the most commonly used products, the main reasons and factors associated with use. More than half of the 713 respondents had used aphrodisiacs in their lifetime, with the main reasons being to obtain prolonged sexual intercourse and to increase arousal. Age, frequency of sex and district of residence were the three factors associated with use. Men aged 35-49 were 2.53 times [95% CI: 1.20-5.31] more likely to use aphrodisiacs than those aged 15-24. Participants who had two sexual encounters in the four weeks prior to the survey were 4.98 times [95% CI: 3.06 to 8.09] more likely to use aphrodisiacs than those who had only one sexual encounter (the reference). From three to five sexual encounters the risk was 10.26 times [95% CI: 6.21 to 16.94] higher than the reference, and from 6 encounters the risk was 8.54 times [95% CI: 4.51 to 16.15]. Apart from sildenafil, herbal ingredients imbibed in alcoholic beverages are consumed more for recreational purposes. An information and awareness campaign is recommended to control the risk of abuse of aphrodisiacs as much as possible.

Abstract:

<em>Areca nut (</em>Areca catechu<em> L.) is widely distributed in Indonesia, from the lowlands to an altitude of 1,000 m asl. Areca nut has been used traditionally by various ethnic groups to treat male sexual disorders (aphrodisiac). This paper aimed to determine the use of areca nut and other plants as a mixture of aphrodisiac ingredients by traditional healers in various ethnic groups in Indonesia. The Health Research and Development Agency obtained the data from exploring local knowledge of ethnomedicine and community-based medicinal plants in Indonesia in 2012, 2015, and 2017 (RISTOJA). The data were analyzed descriptively, and the use value of areca nut and other plants as aphrodisiacs was analyzed quantitatively. The study’s results noted that 22 aphrodisiac ingredients used by 15 ethnic groups contained the main ingredient of the areca nut. The root was the most widely used part of the areca nut in aphrodisiac ingredients (64%). Besides areca nut, 38 other types of plants were also found in traditional aphrodisiac ingredients. Most of these (33) plant species have been identified. Based on the use value (0.1-0.6), plants that had the highest aphrodisiac use values as areca nut mixture were </em>Imperata cylindrica<em> (Poaceae) (0.6), </em>Cocos nucifera<em> (Arecaceae) (0.47), </em>Carica papaya<em> (Caricaceae) (0.2), </em>Piper nigrum<em> (Piperaceae) (0.20) and </em>Zingiber officinale<em> (Zingiberaceae) (0.20). Further research was required to determine the best composition of traditional aphrodisiac ingredients that can provide health benefits for men’s erectile dysfunction.</em>

Abstract:

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation are prevalent male sexual dysfunctions affecting various age groups. This study explores the potential aphrodisiac effects of Clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum L.), a plant rich in secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and steroids. Fractionation of the ethanol extract yielded n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water fractions. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins in the water fraction, while steroids were detected in the ethanol extract, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane fractions. In vivo tests on male rats demonstrated that the ethanol extract, n-hexane, and ethyl acetate fractions significantly reduced mounting latency (ML), increased mounting frequency (MF), and accelerated intromission latency (IL), indicating heightened sexual arousal and endurance. Moreover, these fractions delayed ejaculatory latency (EL) and increased ejaculation frequency (EF), akin to the positive control, X-Gra. Notably, the n-hexane fraction showed the closest efficacy to X-Gra. The presence of steroids in the active fractions suggests their role in eliciting aphrodisiac effects. Further isolation and purification of the active compound(s) may optimize therapeutic outcomes. This study underscores the potential of Clove leaf fractions as natural aphrodisiacs, warranting further investigation for clinical applications.

Abstract:

Since ancient times, humans across diverse tradition, cultures and religious background have shown keen interest in traditional herbal products which enhance sexual ability, pleasure and libido as well as improving sexual functions and potency. The use of herbal aphrodisiacs among men and women in Nigeria is on the high side. This research aimed to study the effect of Mi jian fen (MJF) (a foreign aphrodisiac) and Tsumin marke (TM) (a local aphrodisiac) on female libido. The research also aimed at determining the possible effects of MJF and TM on some toxicological parameters. Eighteen Female wistar albino rats were selected randomly and assigned into six groups of three animals each. Group A served as the control group. Group B served as the standard rats in this group were given 0.2mg/kg dose of Clomid. Groups C and D were given low (0.2mg/kg) and high (0.4mg/kg) doses of MJF respectively. Groups E and F were given low (0.2mg/kg) and high (0.4mg/kg) doses of TM, respectively. All treatments were administered for a period of thirty days after which rats were sacrificed and blood samples collected. FSH, LH, Estrogen, ALT, AST, ALP, Urea, Creatinine and Hematological parameters were assayed using standard methods. At the end of the analysis, it was observed that the levels of LH increased significantly (p<0.05) in all the groups that were treated with high and low doses of MJF and TM, likewise FSH and estrogen. AST and ALT were slightly increased in all test groups while ALP was increased significantly (p<0.05) in all test groups. Urea increased significantly (p<0.05) in all test groups while creatinine increased slightly in all test groups. The results obtained confirmed MJF and TM to be potent aphrodisiacs. However, MJF shows to be a bit more libido enhancer them TM. The toxicity of MJF on the liver and kidney of the animals seem to be higher compared to that of TM. It is then concluded that long term usage of these substances could lead to clinical complications among human users.

Abstract:

This article examines how discursive frames modify forms of knowledge and practice. More precisely, it considers the problem of categories in early and medieval Chinese sources through the lens of recipes designed to facilitate intercourse. In pre-Buddhist Chinese sources, such prescriptions traditionally fell either under the rubric of ‘nourishing life’ (yangsheng 養生) longevity practices or spellbinding (zhuzu 祝詛). While recipes that appear in the former bracket—referred to in this study as ‘aphrodisiacs’—were couched in a discourse of healing and classified as a medical undertaking, those associated with spellbinding—referred to as ‘love philters’—were filed under the heading of mantic arts and divination in bibliographic treatises. With the arrival of Āyurvedic medicine in China via Buddhist sources, this partition grew increasingly blurred. Āyurvedic medical taxonomy in general, and its discipline of potency therapy (vājīkarana) in particular, did not distinguish between aphrodisiacs and love philters since both ultimately facilitate intercourse, albeit through different means. The imprint of Āyurvedic categories in China can be ascertained in Buddhist manuscript sources from Dunhuang, but also, more surprisingly, in widely circulated medieval non-Buddhist medical treatises. However, in contrast to the emblematic medical treatises of the middle period and surveyed manuscript Buddhist materials, canonical Buddhist texts appear to have shied away from the topic of aphrodisiacs and upheld the indigenous Chinese understanding of love philters as spellbinding and mantic art.

Abstract:

An aphrodisiac is a type of food or drink that has the effect of making those who eat or drink it more aroused in a sexual way. Aphrodisiacs can be categorized according to their mode of action into three groups: substances that increase libido (i.e. sexual arousal), substances that increase sexual potency (i.e. effectiveness of erection) and substances that increase sexual pleasure. Fadogia agrestis (Schweing. Ex. Hiern), Rubiacea (Hausa: Bakin gagai; English name: Black aphrodisiac) is an erect shrub 1-3 feets high. Fadogia agrestis is a medicinal plant widely used for its reported antibacterial and aphrodisiac activities. The aim of this work is to carry out pharmacognostic standardization and safety profile on Fadogia agrestis root. Chemomicroscopic, physicochemical, elemental, phytochemical and acute toxicity studies were carried out using standard methods. The results obtained also provided scientific basis for the use of in folklore medicine. Chemomicroscopic characters present include; cellulosecell wall, lignified cell wall, tannins, starch, calcium oxalate and cutin. The physicochemical parameters evaluated include: moisture content (7.0%), total ash (10.5%), water soluble ash (4.1%), acid insoluble ash (8.33%), ethanol extract (15.0%), and water extractive value (12.0%). The quantitative phytochemical analysis showed that alkaloids (84.0 mg/g) was the highest phytochemical detected in the stem bark while the lowest was saponins (4.0 mg/g).LD50 of both extracts was above 5000 mg/kg and did not cause mortality in all the tested rats. The results of this investigation may be useful for deriving doses that are safe for human consumption of F. agrestis root.

Abstract:

Aphrodisiac refers to any substance (food, drink or drug) or practice that is believed to stimulate sexual desire or enhance sexual pleasure and performance. There have been reports indicating lack of good manufacturing practices and adulteration of herbal aphrodisiac with phosphodiestrate-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors without consideration of public safety. The aim of this study is to assess the quality of three herbal aphrodisiac instant coffee premix products, through physicochemical analysis, elemental analysis, quantification of caffeine, detection and quantification of undeclared adulterants. Physicochemical properties of the three samples of herbal aphrodisiac products were determined using the methods described by World Health Organization 2011, while elemental analysis was conducted using nitric acidhydrochloric acid (1:3) digestion mixtures and subsequent analysis for the presence of lead, copper, cadmium, zinc and iron using micro plasma atomic emission spectrophotometer (MP-AES). Iodometric titration was used for quantification of caffeine levels in the samples while fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy were used for the detection and quantification of undeclared adulterants respectively. Moisture content (2.33 %, 2.83 % and 1.60 %) and ash value (10.50 %, 11.67 % and 0.98 %) of the samples A, B and C respectively were found to be within the official permissible limit. The samples were found to be rich in iron and zinc; however, the levels of lead, cadmium, and copper were above the WHO permissible limits. The concentrations of caffeine in the samples were less than the acceptable WHO limit of 400 mg/day. However, sildenafil was detected in two of the products (151.45 mg and 82.15 mg), while tadalafil was detected in one of the products (36.13 mg). The herbal aphrodisiacs were adulterated with either sildenafil or tadalafil, and contained relatively high levels of lead, cadmium, and copper. However, moisture content, ash value, and caffeine content met the WHO requirements.
