Indian Gooseberry
Indian gooseberry is regarded as a natural rejuvenator. It is said that the great ancient sage Muni Chyawan rejuvenated himself in his late 70’s and regained his virility by the use of amla.
This fruit has been credited with aphrodisiac property. This property is attributed to high vitamin C contained in it. Vitamin C boosts energy levels, according to a survey conducted in New York in 1994. Experts say that vitamin C soaks up all those free radicals, which damage healthy cells and make people, feel and look older and less interested in sex. But a diet rich in vitamin C can ward off effects of exposure to infection, tobacco, environmental pollutants, sugar and alcohol. The result is optimal health leading to a better sex life.
