This is a blend for men’s energy, stamina and healthy male function. It brings together a mix of ginseng roots, Damiana and Yohimbe for vitality and drive, Sarsaparilla and Saw Palmetto for hormonal and prostate support, and Ginger, Kola Nut and Oat Seed to round it out.
What a Good Male Formula Contains
A good formula for men’s vitality might contain these herbs:
- Ginseng Root Mix, 11 parts. The heart of the formula: Wild American “Blue Ridge” Ginseng, Chinese and Korean Ginseng, and Siberian Ginseng roots, for energy, stamina and male vitality.
- Damiana Leaf, 3 parts. Long used to support male energy and healthy sexual function.
- Yohimbe Bark, 3 parts. An African bark used to support blood flow and male vitality.
- Sarsaparilla Root, 2 parts. Supports hormonal balance and healthy male function.
- Ginger Rhizome, 1 part. A warming carrier herb that directs the rest of the formula to the lower body.
- Kola Nut, 1 part. Stimulating to energy and alertness.
- Oat Seed, 1 part. A nourishing food for the nervous system, long valued for vitality.
- Saw Palmetto Berry, 1 part. One of the most trusted herbs for men’s health, supporting the prostate and a healthy balance of male hormones.
“Parts” can be any measure you like, as long as you use the same one for every herb. By weight, that’s 11 ounces of the ginseng mix, 3 each of Damiana and Yohimbe, 2 of Sarsaparilla, and 1 each of the rest.
Yohimbe is a strong-acting herb. It isn’t one for anyone with heart or blood pressure trouble, or anyone taking medication for those.
Putting It Together
Put the dry herbs in a glass jar and pour in 80-proof vodka. Once the herbs have settled, you want about 60% herb sediment on the bottom and 40% liquid on top. Shake the jar every day. The traditional timing follows the moon, from the new moon to the full moon, about two weeks. I prefer to let my extracts sit a full three months, which makes them good and strong. Then strain and bottle the liquid.
How Much and How Often
1 to 2 droppersful (35 to 70 drops), three times a day. It does its best work taken steadily for 3 to 4 months, alongside a good foundational diet and lifestyle.
