Muira Puama powder (100g)

Muira Puama is a natural plant food, one that you can use as a culinary ingredient in a variety of ways, so that you can enjoy the health benefits that Muira Puama offers.

At Raw Living, we have been using Muira Puama in this way for many years and we are passionate about bringing this new class of foods to you, and showing you how you can introduce them into your kitchen. When we consume these foods on a regular basis, we learn to be more aware of our body's needs, and more conscious that the very best way of keeping healthy is to watch what we eat. On this site and in Kate's books, we offer information on the most easy and accessible ways to take in these foods that can help keep us balanced and well.

Many of these foods are relatively new to us in the West, and to the majority of people they are still unheard of. In actual fact, they have been used in the countries they originate from for hundreds and often thousands of years, and are still in common use today. It is our wish to introduce to you a whole world of plants that feed the body in the truest sense. It is only in recent times that we consume food that does not have the minerals and nutritional content that nature intended. On our site, you can find many ways to add these foods into existing recipes, and also find many more exciting new recipes, making your entire culinary experience so much more interesting, and most importantly, helping you stay fully energised, and ever so slightly superhuman.

Please see the 'further info' tab, for further information.

Muira Puama is known as the "Viagra of the Amazon." Muira Puama is a very popular herb in South America, and increasingly so in America and Europe. It is the root of the Muira Puama plant that is used. Muira Puama has been shown to assist in a significant improvement in both erectile function and sexual desire. The Amazon natives have known this for centuries, as this herb has been widely used as an aphrodisiac by both men and women, and is commonly known as "potent wood". Like many of the powders we sell, it is actually an adaptogen, that is, it restores homeostasis in the body, and helps us recover our natural vitality.

The short term effects of Muira Puama include increasing blood flow to the pelvic area, aiding erections in men as well as sensation and orgasm in women. Longer term use enhances the production of sex hormones in both sexes. It has no noted side effects though, as with many sexual stimulants, it can slightly raise blood pressure.

Muira Puama has also been used for stress management, nervous system stimulation and for general overall health.

It has been used to tonify the nervous system and to treat cases of mild exhaustion. It can also help with gastrointestinal and reproductive disorders, while it's anti-rheumatic properties have been used for treating stress and trauma.

We find muira puama to be physically energising and grounding, a great one to use when you're doing manual work. As it is a neuromuscular tonic, it strengthens the whole body, and is helpful for people who have been weakened physically by long term illness. It is also reputed to be an effective anti-depressant. And if you're looking for just one aphrodisiac, out of all of our magical range, yes, this is probably the one!
