Ingredients: A herbal blend of catuaba, clavo huasca, abuta, maca, chuchuhuasi, suma, damiana and sarsaparilla extracted in distilled water, ethanol and glycerine. This formula is probably too complicated for the average non-professional to make since each plant is extracted individually using different methods. Basically, catuaba, clavo huasca, abuta, and chuchuhuasi are tinctured in alcohol (two parts of each plant); maca, suma and sarsaparilla are extracted in water and glycerine (1 part of each plant) and damiana (1 part) is prepared as a strong decoction and added in. See the Methods of Preparing Herbal Remedies page for further information.


Suggested Use: Take 60 drops (2 ml) twice daily.
Contraindications:
  • 1. Not to be used during pregnancy or while breast-feeding.
  • 2. Do not use in estrogen-positive cancers.
    Drug Interactions: May enhance the effect of blood pressure drugs.
    Other Practitioner Observations: Abuta has been documented to reduce blood pressure in animal studies. Individuals with low blood pressure should be monitored for this possible effect.
