Title
Maca root the Peruvian aphrodisiac
Description
For centuries, the Maca root has grown wild in the Peruvian Andes just below the glacial icecap. The only area where this particular species of maca is found is a region of extreme weather conditions such as freezing, high winds, and intensive sunlight.
Native shepherds soon learned that as they grazed their herds in higher elevations, where Maca grows naturally, the herds became healthier, with more stamina and became much more sexually active. Soon, the Andean Herd People included Maca in their diets, and found Maca could help promote increased energy and stamina for themselves.
The rich soil located at these high plateaus of Peru where it is very cold and oxygen poor may account for the high levels of trace minerals found in maca root. Some Peruvian Indians of today still grow it in the same traditional way without pesticides or chemicals.
