Muira puama is a small tree that grows in the Amazon rainforest, and it has a number of proven medicinal benefits. It's rife with fatty acids, essential oils, plant sterols, triterpenes, and diterpenoids, which are natural compounds that have antibacterial, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Muira puama has been shown to improve the brain's memory and learning functions, help reduce cholesterol and body fat and improve symptoms of anxiety and depression.
But muira puama is best known for its ability to improve sexual function, and it’s been used for that purpose for centuries. This improvement occurs through a variety of effects muira puama has on the body.
Stress reducer
When you experience stress, it increases blood sugar and blood levels of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which raise your heart rate and blood pressure and cause a rise in body temperature and muscle tension.
Stress is bad for your health, and it can do a number on your libido--and your relationship. A study published in the Journal of Family Psychology found that self-reported stress in daily life was associated with lowered sexual activity, reduction in sexual satisfaction, and decreased relationship satisfaction.
In a study of mice, muira puama was found to prevent an increase in stress-induced cortisol and blood sugar levels. Researchers believe this is due to its antioxidant, neuroprotective, and adaptogen-like properties that help the body adapt to stress.
It may also help to reduce anxiety, according to the study, which found a reduction in anxiety behaviors after mice exposed to stress were given muira puama.
It combats fatigue
Nothing will kill the potential for romance like fatigue. Happily, muira puama can help in that department, too. Muira puama is a mild stimulant that can increase feelings of alertness and vitality, and it has antidepressant properties that can restore mood and reduce fatigue associated with depression.
Muira puama also helps promote healthy brain function for better mental clarity, including aiding in the growth of neurons and decreasing neuronal damage.
It puts you in the mood for love
Muira puama is widely used for its aphrodisiac qualities. According to an article published in the journal Translational Andrology and Urology, muira puama acts as a nerve stimulant, heightening the response to sexual stimuli and improving the physical sensation of sex.
Researchers believe that muira puama activates the body's receptors for testosterone and other hormones that increase libido and enhance sexual performance. This includes improving penile hardness by causing the corpus cavernosum in the penis to relax.
Volatile oils in muira puama include champor, which, according to research, helps restore sex drive and improve the mental ability to become aroused.
