Cinnamon

Cinnamon, or Cinnamomum zeylanicum, comes from the cinnamon plantations of Ceylon, eastern India, the Antilles, Java and Madagascar.

Its therapeutic properties are countless, even though it is generally regarded as an excellent ingredient in the preparation of cakes and desserts or as an aromatic component of certain pharmaceutical formulas.

Few people, however, know of the exceptional aphrodisiac properties of this "bark", which can be used in the most stubborn cases of sexual asthenia.

It is clear that when one speaks generally of impotence or lack of amorous enthusiasm, one is always referring to problems arising from transitory factors, linked to temporary drops in energy, of either physical or psychological origin.

Pathological impotence, deriving from endocrine or mechanical factors affecting the sexual organs, cannot benefit from phytotherapeutic treatment.

On the contrary, certain sudden "debacles" or certain recurrent periods of "coldness" can be effectively overcome by using preparations based on Ceylon cinnamon.

It should always be borne in mind that, even in the use of natural products, good sense and moderation are important elements for the therapy to work well. Any excess can have effects quite contrary to the intended purpose.

With cinnamon, then, there are two best-known "potions" to prepare in order to be successful in love or to induce a listless partner to recover his or her erotic energy.

Here is the formula:

Aphrodisiac wine

Vanilla pods 30 g

Cinnamon 30 g

Ginseng 30 g

Rhubarb 30 g

Leave to steep for 15 days, shaking every day. Filter and add 15 drops of tincture of amber. Drink one liqueur glass after each meal. Do not exceed the dose.

"Perfect Love" Liqueur

Lemon peel 40 g

Thyme 10 g

Cinnamon 15 g

Vanilla 10 g

Coriander 10 g

Mace 10 g

Leave to steep for 15 days and add a sugar syrup made with 2 kg. Of sugar to 1 litre of water. Mix and filter. Drink one small liqueur glass at the end of a meal.
