Avena Sativa as a Sex Enhancer

Avena Sativa as a Sex Enhancer

 

Avena Sativa is wild oats – but not the seedy part of "rolled oats" that you have in your porridge. The part of the plant used as a natural aphrodisiac is the green tips of growing shoots, which helps improve sex for both mean and women in a number of different ways.

 

Firstly it seems to "unbind" bound testosterone – the male sex hormone which often becomes locked up and unavailable as men age, resulting in erection difficulties and an enlarged prostate.

 

And because it is recognised as a wonderful nerve tonic, used to help people get over nicotine addiction, its calming relaxing influence helps enhance women's sexual responses.

 

Avena is one of those traditional sex stimulants known for hundreds of years, and is referenced in the official German Pharmacopoeia two hundred years ago. And even today it turns up in the most surprising places.

 

In May 2011 it was reported that Avena Sativa syrup was found in the Osama Bin Laden compound, prompting some to speculate that Bin Laden – who was reported in 2012 to be living there with two highly competitive wives, one older, one younger – was using it as a natural aphrodisiac.

 

The sexual boost the herb gives is reflected in the common phrase "he's sowing his wild oats" – in other words having a great love life.

 

While some claim Avena is like a "natural Viagra",  it works best as a natural sex enhancer when used in combination with stronger sex herbs like Horny Goat Weed and Tribulus Terrestris. In particular, Avena seems to have a beneficial synergy with Tribulus Terrestris, with both having an effect on Testosterone levels.

 

Avena Sativa's health benefits include:

 

• Frees up "bound Testosterone", with positive side effects on sex drive and prostate health.
• Enhances mood, remedies exhaustion, reduces stress, relieves burnout
• Helps with Nicotine addiction when giving up smoking
• Eases vaginal dryness
• Increases bloodflow to the genitals by relaxing blood vessels, resulting in better erections and orgasms

Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality backed up Avena Sativa's claims as an effective herb for sex enhancement, but the results were never published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

The research involved both men and women, from their early 20s to their 60s, who had issues they wanted to find solutions for problems ranging from low desire to inability to get an erection. Participants took a 300mg capsule of Avena Sativa thrice-weekly for six weeks.

A follow up study showed men experienced:

• Increased sex drive
• Enhance erections
• And more pleasure during sex

And women experienced:

• Increased genital sensation
• And a nearly 30 percent increase in reaching orgasm
