Mucuna pruriens

Velvet beans

“Mucuna Pruriens”, locally known as Naikurna Parippu, is known for its aphrodisiacal properties. Apart from promoting general strength, it promotes sexual vigor and potency. It has potent antioxidants, and reduces oxidative damage to sperms by preventing disruption to the membrane integrity of sperms. Naikurna Parippu is also beneficial in oligozoospermia (insufficient sperm cells in the semen). Treatment with this herb has been shown to increase sperm count. L-dopa, a precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine, isolated from Mucuna Pruriens, has been shown to increase sperm production. This herb also prevents male sterility and acts as a nervine tonic.The high levels of L-dopa is very beneficial for men with erectile problems. The L-Dopa content provides much of Mucuna's benefits. Optimizing dopamine levels appears to increase testosterone levels and elevates one's mood.
