Traditional Uses and Effects

Catuaba is a botanical traditionally associated with vitality, relaxation and sexual wellbeing. In Brazilian herbal traditions, it has long been regarded as an aphrodisiac for both men and women. Traditional accounts associate Catuaba with increased libido and improved circulation. However, scientific evidence supporting specific effects on sexual performance remains limited.

How to Prepare Catuaba

Catuaba can be prepared as a herbal infusion.

For approximately two cups:

1. Add 1–2 tablespoons of Catuaba to the required amount of water.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
3. Simmer for around 15 minutes.
4. Strain before serving.

Because Catuaba has a naturally distinctive herbal flavour, the infusion can be enjoyed on its own or combined with other suitable botanicals.

Catuaba and Alcohol

Catuaba is also traditionally used as an ingredient in alcoholic herbal preparations. If combining herbal products with alcohol, bear in mind that alcohol can affect the body and interact with medicines. Moderate consumption is recommended.
