Aphrodisiac

So all the people who would be walking surreptitiously up the Hakeem Har Kishan's little seedy studio said, we have a gas problem.

Now, on the other hand, when I started looking at chapter 7 of the Kama Sutra, sorry, not chapter 7, but book 7 of the Kama Sutra, which talked of the Vajikarans or the Aphrodisiacs, I came across very strange things, like saying that if you ate...

the naga kesar and powder of the blue lotus mixed with lemon and honey, you would become absolutely wildly attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex.

Or if you have milk and honey and saffron mixed with haldi, your libido and the ability to hold on to the climax would not just double but triple and that is why in all the Hindi films you see on the wedding night a glass of milk with haldi and saffron in it.

A lot of Ayurvedic medicines, which have become very, very fashionable today, are using the traditional herbs as part of their medicinal use.

compositions ashwagandha being very very important in fact the company dabur is using or the himalaya drug company i'm not here actually advertising for any of them but these two come to my mind immediately but i'm sure that a host of other very good ayurvedic companies who are also using the same herbs which could be for good sleep calming your senses, deeply removing anxiety.

Even a small Churna like the Sitopaladi is very much part of the whole process of Aphrodisiacs which are mentioned in the Kama Sutra.

What we see today around a lot, because there are lots of people, while they are going in for pill popping and allopathic medicines as we call it, or modern sciences, there are a lot of people who are also going into Ayurveda in a big way.

Amy Riley joined me for episode 50 and completely changed the way I thought about aphrodisiac foods.

We weren't talking about some magical ingredient that suddenly is going to transform your love life.

We talked about food, health, mood, confidence, our senses, and the role all of those things can play in connection and intimacy.

My takeaway was that connection doesn't have to be complicated.

Sometimes it can begin with something as ordinary as preparing and sharing a meal with intention.

If you'd like to learn more, Amy is the creator of Eat Something Sexy and the author of five aphrodisiac cookbooks.

I have picked up a couple, and I have made a couple of those recipes, and although they're delicious, I didn't really share it with anybody that I was trying to get in the mood.

for research in various areas.

I went for the A-volume, Aphrodisiacs.

I just wanted to know if there's anything secret that they weren't telling us about Aphrodisiacs.

And there was exactly a line of medical students behind me clamoring, I want the A-book, I want the A-book.

It was just me alone being about Aphrodisiacs for about an hour.

There was nothing, frankly.

It's just kind of the same stuff that people talk about today.

Inebriated.

So, what are it? Aphrodisiac,

it's not like fruit.

It's not like fruit.
