Over the centuries, foods such as asparagus, almonds and bananas have been called aphrodisiacs, but few have survived the rigors of clinical studies. Fenugreek can now boast it has.
In the study, 60 healthy men age 25 to 52 took an extract of the herb twice a day for six weeks, according to the Daily Mail. The men were required to answer a survey describing their level of libido and desire with a special scoring system to analyze changes.
By the end of the six weeks, the libido levels of men who had swallowed fenugreek had soared by an average of 16.1 to 20.6, a 28 per cent rise. Men taking dummy pills saw their scores fall.
Fenugreek has a storied past. New Yorkers complained of a strange maple syrup aroma in the air for years before realizing it was fenugreek. Some people believe the spice increases milk production, while others say it relieves arthritis or cures fever. Its name means: “ram’s horn clover.”
Now, compounds called saponins inside the fenugreek seed are believed to stimulate production of male sex hormones, including testosterone.
Researchers found that men taking fenugreek can boost their sex drive by at least a quarter

No Diabetes, High Libido
For centuries, many herbs have been claimed to boost people's sex drive. Add one more to the list - fenugreek, a spinach-like leaf plant which grows in India and other Asian countries, and used in curries, say researchers. Fenugreek, 'methi' in Hindi and Marathi, is an integral part of cuisine across India. In fact, India is said to be the largest producer of this herb in the world with Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana and Punjab being the major producing states.
A new study by the Centre for Integrative Clinical and Molecular Medicine in Brisbane has found that fenugreek, used in curries, can spice up men's sex life by boosting male libidos to a good extent.
Fenugreek seeds contain compounds called saponins and it is thought these stimulate male sex hormones including testosterone, say the researchers.
In their study, the researchers monitored libidos and orgasms of 60 men and found that fenugreek boosted their sex drive by at least a quarter. The subjects aged between 25 and 52 took an extract of the herb twice a day for six weeks. Within that time, their sexual arousal had soared by an average of 28 per cent but scores fell for another group of men taking placebo pills, the 'Daily Express' reported.
The researchers concluded, "There was significant improvement in sexual function and performance." Dried methi leaves are used as flavoring agent in many north Indian cuisines while its seeds are used as seasoning in many dishes and pickles.
Health is the most compulsory thing in life. I think the best choice is to read in detail about this herb at desiherbal(.)info or you can also contact directly to a registered Ayurveda as hakeemabdulraheem(.)com. I don’t have much information about it except that’s a original hakeem but not a quack as it is registered by the Govt of Pakistan. You can read more at his website. I mostly prefer to use yogurt with banana in breakfast for increasing the libido level and it proves good for me. Thanks
