Angelica

One of the most common causes of impotence, o, or rather, of a certain decline in desire, è, is almost always, stress, fatigue or lack of energy.

In these cases the whole organism needs a boost in order to recover that vital energy which involves a whole series of physical and psychological reactions capable of restoring enthusiasm, initiative and passion.

ANGELICA, or Angelica Archangelica Ombrellifera, also known as the Herb of the Angels, is a sovereign remedy for all forms of general fatigue and stress.

It is a powerful nerve tonic and restores elasticity to the arteries. It is particularly suited to mature people, to whom it restores suppleness and youth.

As it is not toxic, it has no particular contraindications and can be used safely, since it also has digestive properties, antispasmodic, and diuretic properties, and therefore promotes a general improvement in health.

There are various ways of using this miraculous herb, either as a simple infusion to be taken after meals or prepared in more specific recipes designed to enhance amorous potential. An excellent example is the "Tonic Wine", which is prepared by steeping 30 grams of angelica root and 20 grams of gentian root in a litre of good red wine for a week.

This wine, drunk in the amount of one Marsala glass at the start of a meal, gives vigour and aids good digestion.

It is said that Annibal Camoux, who died at the age of 120 in 1759, continually chewed angelica root.

It is also indicated for women who suffer from disorders of the genital system or who show little amorous enthusiasm.

Very pleasant to the taste and, therefore, much liked by ladies is Angelica Liqueur, which is made with:

Green angelica stems 45 grams

Brandy 1 litre and 250 cc.

Water 750 cc.

Sugar 1 kg.

Steep the stems, cut into small pieces, in the brandy for four days. Add the sugar and the water and leave to steep for a week. Filter and keep corked.
