Many men have been asking how the Amazon Herbs may be helpful with improving sexual functioning and male impotency.

The Amazon Herb Company has two formulas that can be used together for maximum results:

Sumacazon and Warrior.

Sumacazon

The energy promoting, endocrine balancing, adaptogen formula. The remarkable properties of the four herbs in this product have long been revered by the people of Brazil and Peru. Studies done by the Peruvian Government showed animals with Maca in their diet maintained better health and vitality and had more offspring than animals not eating Maca.  It is traditionally used to facilitate energy, mental clarity, libido and muscle tone.  Maca has also been reported to have libido enhancing properties for both men and women.  Dr. Jacques Wayneberg has conducted studies at the French Institute of Sexology* which demonstrated the effectiveness of Muira Puama on libido and frigidity.

Warrior

Contains an ancient Shaolin Monk Temple formula highly valued by masters of the martial arts, along with several herbs from the South American rainforests, known for their beneficial effects on the nervous and circulatory systems.

Below please find more comprehensive information about each of these two formulas. There is also research documentation available at the end of this document.

Sumacazon - Energy and vitality promoting, endocrine balancing.

This combination of herbs is a great energizer and helps regulate the endocrine, immune, musculoskeletal and digestive systems.  Sumacazon increases stamina, endurance and mental clarity, acts as an aphrodisiac, regulates blood sugar, strengthen the immune degfenses and balances the hormones. It is helpful with chronic fatigue and increases oxygen utilization for more efficient energy production in the body.  This natural, synergistic formula delivers a broad spectrum of powerful phytonutrients, amino acids and electrolytes to increase energy, mental clarity, libido and muscle tone.  Contains Suma, Maca, Muira Puama & Stevia.

Suma (Pfaffia paniculata) was labeled “Brazilian ginseng” by Japanese citizens of Brazil.  Uses include: aphrodisiac, tonic, energizer, anti-cancer aid, immune enhancer and diabetic remedy.  In herbal medicine throughout the world today, Suma is considered an adaptogen and is known for its oxygenating properties.  Suma has also been called “The Russian Secret” because it is taken by Russian Olympic athletes to increase muscle-building and endurance without the side effects of steroids.  Two other plant hormones found in Suma, sitosterol and stigmasterol, have been shown to encourage estrogen production and may account for its use in relieving menopausal symptoms.

Maca (Lepidium Meyenii) In South America, Maca is a staple food, though “maca mania” is sweeping the alternative medicine world due to its energizing effects, fertility enhancement (in animals as well as humans) and aphrodisiac qualities.  Other traditional uses include enhancement of energy, stamina and endurance in athletes, promoting mental clarity, treating male impotency, helping with chronic fatigue syndrome and menstrual irregularities and female hormonal imbalances, including menopause.  It is used as an alternative to anabolic steroids by bodybuilders due to its richness in phytosterols.  Maca works by stimulating the pituitary gland and responds to the individual’s specific needs regardless of age or sex; thus, maca represents an alternative to hormone replacement therapy.  In Peruvian herbal medicine, Maca is also used for treatment of anemia, tuberculosis, menstrual disorders, menopause symptoms, stomach cancer, sterility and other reproductive and sexual disorders, to enhance memory and as an immunostimulant.  Since Maca has an abundance of easily absorbable calcium, plus magnesium and a fair amount of silica, Peruvian doctors are finding it very useful in treating decalcification of bones in children and adults, in other words, it is very helpful for osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Muira Puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides), is a good tonic for the nervous system and useful in treating symptoms of neuralgia or nervous depression.  Muira puama, a.k.a. Potency Wood, is a shrub native to Brazil with a long history of use as a powerful aphrodisiac and nerve stimulant in folk medicine.  A recent clinical study has validated its safety and effectiveness in improving sexual functioning in men.  In other studies, marapuama was more effective than Yohimbine for erectile dysfunction without the side effects associated with Yohimbine.  In the U.S., herbalists and health care practitioners are using muira puama for impotency, PMS, neurasthenia and central nervous system disorders.  In Oriental medicine, it is used to enhance blood chi and balance yin and yang in the triple-warmer.  It may be useful in preventing some types of baldness and avoiding neuromuscular problems

Warrior – For enhancing athletic performance, strength, stamina and endurance.

An excellent, multi-sport, athletic supplement.  Assists the body’s natural ability to enhance production, regulation and flow of essential energy while strengthening and tonifying overall system functions.  Energy circulation, stamina, endurance and clear mental focus are prerequisites for effectively competing in sports and in the career world.  Contains an original Shaolin Monk Temple martial arts formula as well as Muira Puama, Catuaba, Sarsaparilla, Wild Yam Root, Astragalus, Rehmannia, Atractylodes, Tangerine Peel, Costas Root, Licorice Root, Dong Quai, Fennel & Aquilaria.

Muira Puama (see above under Sumacazon)

Catuaba (Juniperis brasilienis) is a strong tonic and fortifier of the brain and nervous system with aphrodisiac properties.  It is also capable of giving strength to people with general fatigue.  A bark decoction is used to eliminate restless sleep and insomnia, sexual impotency, agitation, nervousness, neurasthenia, poor memory or forgetfulness, sexual weakness and lowered libido in both men and women.

Sarsaparilla (Smilax officinalis) has been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of Central and South America for sexual impotency, rheumatism, skin ailments and as a tonic for physical weakness.  More recently, it has been used alone or with other herbs to combat psoriasis, eczema, warts and other skin infections.  In homeopathy, it is frequently used for skin eruptions that are accompanied by intense itching.

Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) contains natural phytochemicals known as saponins that help the body balance the glandular system and hormone levels.  It has been used for centuries in Central America as a natural pain reliever.  Today, wild yam is used to treat a variety of ailments from female problems to digestive disorders.  Wild yam contains diosgenin, a procurser of progesterone, which makes it a popular choice for treating PMS.  Other uses of wild yam include easing digestion by dilating vessels, stimulating bile flow and contributing to the reduction of cholesterol and blood pressure levels.  Wild yam is also beneficial treating arthritis, rheumatism and muscle spasms.  An extract of Wild Yam has been shown to lower triglycerides and raise levels of the “good” HDL cholesterol that combats build-up of plaque in the arteries.  Wild Yam is also considered a remedy for rheumatism, gallbladder problems, cramps, nerve pain, painful menstruation, upset stomach and morning sickness.  Wild Yam calms muscular spasms and seems to have anti-inflammatory properties.  It also promotes perspiration.

Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus). In China, Astragalus enjoyed a long history of use in traditional medicine to strengthen and replenish the Wei Ch’i, or “defensive energy”, or as we call it, the immune system.  Regarded as a potent tonic for increasing energy levels and stimulating the immune system, Astragalus has also been employed effectively as a diuretic, a vasodilator and as a treatment for respiratory infections.  Astragalus has recently become popular with western herbalists and alternative health care providers.  In fact, Astragalus has been used in the west to counter the immuno-suppressive effects of chemotherapy and to reduce blood pressure by helping to shed excess water weight.  Astragalus also increases interferon production and enhances NK and T cell function.  Ongoing studies reveal that this powerful, polysaccharide-rich botanical may be useful in the treatment of many serious diseases, such as hepatitis, cancer and AIDS, where the immune system has been severely compromised.

Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa) is a Chinese herb used for 2,000 years to balance deep depletion of Yin, or what we refer to today as menopause.  Rehmannia is famous for treating symptoms of deficient kidney yin: it promotes fertility and hormonal balance in both men and women.  It helps irregular menstruation, anemia, fatigue, night sweats, nocturnal emissions and emaciation.  Martial artists use it to stop bleeding and promote the healing of injured bones and tendons.  As a tonic, it is used for weakness due to adrenal exhaustion, heart weakness and even premature graying of hair and hair loss.  It is used to lower blood pressure and cholesterol and improve cerebral blood flow.  Chinese doctors have used it with licorice for the treatment of hepatitis.  It has an anti-fungal effect and has been used for candida.

Atractylodes (Atractylodes alba) reinforces spleen, transforms dampness, dispels wind and cold, stimulates appetite, relieves diarrhea, edema, rheumatism, cold, night blindness.  Its taste is bitter and its affect is warming.  Atractylodes is a diuretic and has been used for edema, fatigue, spontaneous sweating, fever and chills.  It aids pregnant women with morning sickness and restless fetus.  It is also useful in regulating the excessive emission of bodily fluids other than urine, making it useful for undue sweating, diarrhea and vomiting that is associated with motion sickness or nervousness.

Tangerine Peel (Chen pi).  Chinese herbalists use Tangerine Peel to activate vital energy circulation, strengthen stomach relieve indigestion, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, bringing up phlegm, loss of appetite and loose stools.  It is also considered a remedy for breast and hernia pain.  The high content of bioflavonoids helps to strengthen the capillaries and tissues in the body.  Sometimes called mandarin orange peel, herb practitioners believe that the peel gets better as it ages.

Costas Root (Radix aucklandiae lappae) has a bitter taste and warming properties; it promotes the flow of vital energy, relieves pain, strengthen spleen and removes food stagnation.  It is also used for chest and abdomen pain, dysentery, food stagnation and anorexia (loss of appetite).

Glycyrrhiza or Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has been used by the Chinese for over 5,000 years.  As a broad spectrum herb, it is popular to treat coughs, sore throats, malaria, food poisoning, respiratory problems, liver and uterine complaints, fevers, inflammation, arthritis, stomach problems, bladder/kidney ailments and as a tonic to rejuvenate the heart and spleen.  Licorice Root is a time-honored remedy for arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.  Acting as a diuretic, expectorant, and laxative, licorice also stimulates the production of bile by the liver, relieves stomach aches and ulcers and lowers cholesterol.  The National Cancer Institute is investigating its ability to inhibit the growth of cancerous cells.  Glycyrrhetinic acid, an anti-inflammatory compound in Licorice, has led to the successful development of drugs used in the treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers, and ulcers of the mouth and genitals.  Another compound, glycyrrhizin, has been shown to possess anti-viral properties effective against the polio virus, herpes zoster, herpes simplex and the HIV virus.  Other derivatives of licorice act as anti-depressants and inhibit the enzymes that cause tooth decay.  It also stimulates the production of interferon.

Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis) is world famous as an all-purpose herb for a wide range of female gynecological complaints.  For centuries, Chinese women have used this herb to regulate the menstrual cycle and quell painful menstrual cramps caused by uterine contractions.  Modern herbalists use Dong quai to eliminate the discomfort of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and to help women resume normal menstruation after going off “the pill.”  Dong quai is also reputed to be useful against hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause caused by hormonal changes.  Rich in vitamins and minerals including A, B12, and E, Dong quai has also been used to treat insomnia and high blood pressure for both sexes.  Both men and women use this herb as a blood tonic for anemia (loss of red blood cells) and as a treatment for heart disease and high blood pressure.  It is also an antispasmodic, a blood purifier, and helps hypertension, rheumatism, ulcers and constipation.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) One of nature’s best diuretics and natural detoxifiers, fennel is known as the “obesity herb.”  Anyone with sluggish metabolism should replace the usual teas and coffees with this herbal tea.  There are other herbs that have a reputation as carminatives, that is, expellers of gas from the intestinal tract, but fennel is the most popular.  Fennel is also a remedy for digestive problems, such as mild spasms in the stomach or intestines, a feeling of fullness and intestinal gas.  In Asian medicine, it is used for anemia, bloating, heartburn, vomiting, diarrhea, hernia, skin diseases and repeated bouts of intense thirst.  Fennel stimulates movement of food through the stomach and intestines; in higher doses it puts a stop to intestinal spasms.  Lab experiments have revealed substances in Fennel that show an ability to dry up respiratory phlegm and destroy germs.

Aquilaria (aloeswood) in traditional Chinese medicine is considered acrid, bitter, warm, and aromatic.  It has been used to enhance cerebral function, balance the mind/body connection and the nervous system.  Pharmacological and clinical research has shown it has a very strong inhibitory effect against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  An English herbalist we know, uses it to strengthen “a wobbly tummy” or in cases where the individual tends towards stomach cramping, gas and an easily upset digestive system.  Aloeswood is also useful in cases of asthma and to strengthen the vitality of the kidneys.
