Rio Health Love Power - Brazilian herbs for a richer love-life

Rio Health Love Power

For a richer love-life

Suggested use of Rio Health Love Power

Rio Health Love Power, containing Guarana and Catuaba, should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation.

Due to small amounts of caffeine- like substances in guarana, if taken in excess guarana may cause similar symptoms that a cup of coffee or strong tea may have. However, it's not common to have these reactions as guarana is slow releasing over approximately 6 hours.

Generally 1-2 grams per day would not have any of the adverse effects of coffee.

This potent preparation combines two of Brazil's most celebrated herbs for couples, Guarana and Catuaba, and together they are even more effective.

Catuaba has been, maybe for thousands of years, the most loved and respected herb for men in that nation of passionate lovers - Brazil!

Use for:

Sexual impotency, sexual weakness
Insomnia
Exhaustion and fatigue
Nervous debility, agitation, neurasthenia, poor memory or forgetfulness
Pain related to the central nervous system
Hypochondria

Catuaba is made from the bark of a powerful tree from the Amazon. The cambium layer - beneath the outer rind - is fibrous, and is shredded to make a tea taken throughout the day and last thing at night. In Brazil they often drop a whole piece of bark into a bottle of rum to make a relaxing night-cap, the alcohol drawing out the actives. These have been shown to be a relaxant of involuntary muscle, and a calmer of the mood. Increased blood-flow and the release of both mental and physical tension are often important steps in the re-awakening and maintenance of sexual potency in men.

Catuaba is the most famous of all Brazilian aphrodisiac plants. In the Brazilian state of Minas there is a saying, “Until a father reaches 60, the son is his; after that, the son is catuaba’s!”

Some of the benefits of Guarana

The vast bulk of guarana is grown in a small area in northern Brazil. Guarana gum or paste is derived from the seeds and is used in herbal supplements.

Use for:

Increasing physical, mental and sexual energy and relieving fatigue
Stay awake when driving
Reduces fluid retention, appetite and increases metabolic rate
Relieves tension headache, PMS and period pains
Reduce the physical effects of stress
Maintain high levels of energy for long periods
During convalescence
For hangovers after alcohol excess

The herbal preparations in the Rio Range have been sourced and prepared to the highest standards, and are manufactured in facilities licensed for pharmaceutical use. They contain the finest quality ingredients, tested at source for purity and active levels.

Rio Health has specialized in the herbs of the Amazon Rainforest for over fifteen years. By far the greatest concentration of plant species on the planet is to be found in the Amazon basin.

It is estimated that over 80% of the earth's bio-diversity is located in this amazing profusion. Amongst this huge biomass there are thought to be many plant species with therapeutic possibilities.

Although from the air the jungle canopy may look like a wild diverse confusion, there are signs that hand the hand of man may once, thousands of years ago, have been involved in the selection and planting of species. Some food plants, for instance, not native to the Amazon basin, appear along clearly defined routes stretching hundreds of miles, as if they had been sketched to support travellers. So do some of the known medicinal plants. In the intervening centuries the pathways of this vast herb garden have become overgrown and unclear, but head westward from Manaus, along an ancient route may bring to light some very special new plant by the wayside.

Herbs
For thousands of years, herbs have been used to help maintain many aspects of health and wellness. Today, research and technology are bringing herbalism into the modern age – with improved extraction, standardization, and farming methods. Clinical studies are beginning to validate herbal therapies, so even some in the medical community are starting to accept them.

Many of today’s medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Aspirin once came from the white willow tree, quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, and digitalis from foxglove. Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, “Let they food by thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food”.

Some of the herbs available on this site are wild-crafted – grown in the wild – while others are meticulously cultivated on herb farms.
