Clavo huasca is a forest liana vine in the same botanical family as the
legendary ayahuasca. The name means 'clove vine' ('clavo' = 'clove'
or 'nail'; 'huasca' = 'vine') and refers to the rich clove-like scent of the
trunk and leaves. In Peru Clavo huasca is traditionally used as an
aphrodisiac for both men and women, increasing sexual potency,
fertility, and to support healthy erections.
TRIBAL AND HERBAL MEDICINE USES
The Shipibo-Conibo, Kayapó, and Assurini Indian tribes in the Amazon
rainforest regard clavo huasca highly as an impotency remedy, for
weak erections, and as an effective aphrodisiac for both men and
women. It is also used as an adjunctive ingredient in various ayahuasca
recipes (or taken shortly after taking the concoction) to settle the
stomach. Ayahuasca is a phytochemically-rich combination of plants
brewed by Indian shamans to connect to the spirit world.
CURRENT PRACTICAL USES
Clavo huasca is still widely employed as a natural aphrodisiac for both
men and women in South America today. It's reported to be highly
effective, especially for pre-menopausal women.
