We are always pretty sceptical about these so called traditional remedies...

A couple of months back Ukmedix News reported on the Peruvian Viagra phenomenon in which the Andean root that comes from far flung regions of Peru is used to make an erectile dysfunction remedy. Apparently the remedy has been handed down for generations by indigenous Indians who say that the Maca root can cure a whole range of different medical problems. The Maca root or Peruvian Viagra was being heavily promoted to tourists in the region and sales were very brisk. It appears now that some other retailers are going one step further and making a special drink called “Peruvian Viagra” which is sold for about 50 pence.

This Viagra drink does not contain the active ingredient of Viagra namely sildenafil but is purely a concoction made up by local Peruvians. The ingredients require you to have a strong stomach and squeamishness cannot be tolerated as the Peruvian Viagra drink includes a raw frog being boiled in the liquid. The Peruvian Viagra is made from white bean soup, honey, aloe vera, some maca root and lastly but by no means at least a whole raw frog with its belly cut open but must be put into the mix. The drink looks like a milkshake apparently and will sting your throat when you drink it and many Peruvian men and women swear by its good effects.

At Ukmedix News we are always pretty sceptical about these so called traditional remedies for erectile dysfunction because if they were so successful and so effective they would be better known than the world famous erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. It is likely that this frog concoction will give men and women confidence in the bedroom department which could bolster their sex lives but it is extremely unlikely that the Peruvian Viagra drink will have any actual positive medical benefits.
