What is Aphrodite Mix?
Our Aphrodite Mix contains a mixture of the herbs Damiana, Red Clover, Mint, Calendula and Orange Blossom. Damiana (Turnera diffusa) is often used as an aphrodisiac to increase libido and also gives a mild ‘high’ feeling: it reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation. Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) has phyto-estrogenic properties, substances that resemble the hormone estrogen. Mint (Mentha piperita) has a refreshing taste but also a calming effect. Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Orange Blossom (Citrus aurantium) makes you calmer and provides relaxation. The combination of these herbs can ensure hormonal balance, stress reduction, and relaxation and work as an aphrodisiac.
These carefully selected herbs enhance each other’s effects through synergistic effects. The flavonoids in Damiana enhance circulation in the pelvic area while the essential oils create a subtle warmth. The isoflavones in Red Clover support hormonal balance in both women and men. Mint contains menthol, which not only refreshes but also reduces muscle tension and deepens breathing. The calendulin in Calendula has a gentle but effective action on the skin and mucous membranes. The nerolidol in Orange Blossom works directly on the nervous system for deeper relaxation. Together, these herbs form a holistic formula that supports both the physical and emotional aspects of intimacy and well-being.
How to use Aphrodite Mix?
Aphrodite Mix is a mixture of finely ground, dried herbs. The quickest way to enjoy this mix is to make tea from it. Use 1 or 2 teaspoons per cup of hot water, let the tea steep for 5 to 20 minutes and then strain. The longer you let the tea steep, the stronger the taste will be. You can use a flavouring or sweetener to make the tea sweeter.
For optimal extraction of the active substances, it is important not to let the water boil when pouring it over the herbs. Water of about 90°C is ideal: let boiled water cool for a minute or two before using it. A well-sealed teapot or mug with a lid helps to retain the volatile substances during steeping.
