Oregano

Widely used in cooking, especially in Mediterranean cooking, oregano is an excellent remedy for frigidity and impotence, when these disorders derive from nervous conditions or from disorders linked to the liver and the digestive system.

Slow and imperfect digestion can cause behavioural disturbances or hypochondria which affect the emotional sphere, to the detriment of all the functions of the sexual system.

In these cases, which also show themselves through loss of appetite and gastric and intestinal atony, with aerophagia and bloating of the abdomen, the following recipe is excellent:

Steep a handful of oregano flowering tops in a litre of vodka for eight days. Filter carefully through a fine cloth and pour two fingers of it into a tumbler full of tomato juice, to be taken as an aperitif.

Oregano can also be used, in combination with other herbs, to prepare an excellent "aphrodisiac bath", which prepares the way for a happy romantic encounter.

Here is the recipe:

Leave to infuse for 12 hours in a basin of boiling water:

Ground nutmeg 50 g

Rosemary 50 g

Sage 50 g

Oregano 50 g

Mint 50 g

Chamomile flowers 50 g

After 12 hours add:

Tincture of juniper 100 g

Tincture of eugenia 100 g

Add to the water of a full bath and soak for about a quarter of an hour.

These amounts can also be doubled if the bathtub is very large, or to hasten the desired effect.
