With Valentines day fast approaching, relighting the flames of passion and romance may be simpler than you think. To kickstart your love life, sex toys are not the only option – why not head straight to your local supermarket and stock up on some super foods!
As per Dr. David Benton, a psychologist at the University of Wales, merely imagining these foods might initiate a chemical process that leaves you emotionally excited.
“If you think that oysters or chocolates will get your heart pounding, then you’re already on the path to making it a reality,” he explains, and honey, a natural powerhouse, is no exception!
Sex Toys are not the only option
In traditional Indian ceremonies, the bride presents honey to the groom to enhance his endurance – a practice believed to benefit all men. Ancient Norse customs viewed honey as a fertility enhancer. Viking couples would consume mead (a honey-infused wine) during their first month of marriage to invigorate their romantic lives. Similarly, in ancient Chinese weddings, a cup of honey and a goblet of wine were bound together with a red thread, and the bride and groom would drink from each other’s goblets, symbolizing their union of love.
The most powerful honeys come from bees that collect nectar from aphrodisiac blooms like jasmine, orchids, or marjoram.
Honey has been regarded as a love elixir since as early as 500 BC when the Greek philosopher Hippocrates, often called the father of modern medicine, recommended honey to boost sexual endurance. In Biblical times, Palestine was known as the “land of milk and honey,” signifying a place of abundance and fertility. Honey was even believed to be the nectar of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love.
Honey for love and its feeding time!
Honey is even referenced in the Kama Sutra—the term ‘honeymoon’ originates from an old romantic custom where couples would retreat to their chambers and consume a mystical honey beverage believed to enhance their sexual desire and fertility.
Could honey not only taste delightful but also enhance your romantic life? Is honey truly a potent aphrodisiac?
Honey boosts testosterone levels in men, and the mineral boron present in honey can help regulate estrogen levels in women. A scientific study in Integrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal found that boron helps assist with the the body’s use of estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D.
Some of honeys health benefits are even more beneficial to males in the love-making department. Another recent scientific study concluded that a small dose of honey boosted the level of nitric oxide significantly – this is the chemical released in the blood during arousal. Apart from reducing the risk of heart disease, nitric oxide is also one of the substances responsible for erections. When nitric oxide is emitted by the blood vessels during exercise and arousal, circulation is enhanced. This is also why numerous homeopathic practitioners suggest ginger and honey for treating erectile dysfunction.
Honey – The Nectar of the Gods
As you can see, there are many theories on the aphrodisiac powers of this nectar of the gods. Honey is proven to have so many health benefits on its own that you can’t help but feel great eating it. Whether or not you are convinced that honey an aphrodisiac, why not instead think of it as a wonderful romantic gift for the love of your life. It’s a gift we believe they’ll be buzzing about.
