Some people believe that peppermint can enhance male potency. Those who disagree with them argue that mint, on the contrary, causes sexual impotence in men. So where is the truth? Is mint tea capable of positively affecting sexual function or will its use lead to its weakening and even extinction?
Peppermint and libido
Scientists have repeatedly tried to find the connection between peppermint and libido through various scientific studies. The results of these experiments were quite different - in some cases, mint did reduce testosterone levels in experimental rats of both sexes. However, the amount of mint you need to consume is not indicated in the results. According to other studies, peppermint lowers the levels of the female hormone estrogen.
Traditionally, mint is considered a "female" plant - it contains female hormones, so its negative effect on women's libido is rather strange.
In order for male potency to drop from drinking mint tea, you need to brew it for at least five minutes in strong concentration and drink it at least three times a day for a long time. However, it is unlikely that a man will do this, so there is no reason to refuse mint tea, but on the contrary, because mint is a very useful sedative.
Benefits of mint tea
It is a well-known fact that mint has a pronounced calming and relaxing effect on the human body (regardless of gender). Its use is indispensable for neuroses, depression, stress and other disorders of the nervous system, which have a negative effect on male potency, often causing temporary impotence and sexual impotence. Therefore, mint still helps men to normalize their most important mechanism, which is often "knocked down" from overload at work and constant mental stress.
Many traditional medicine recipes for the restoration of male sexual function contain mint, which is extremely effective in its effect on the body.
Also, the results of scientific research have shown that regular consumption of mint affects the motility of sperm, slowing down their activity and the ability to reproduce. However, this in no way affects the physical capabilities of a man.
The ability of the penis to erect and have intercourse is fully preserved - at least one cup of mint tea a day will not do any harm. Thus, most scientists agree that the use of this fragrant and healing drink will harm male potency no more than mobile phones, daily stress at work and genetically modified foods.
