Believed to have magical, therapeutic and aphrodisiacal properties since time immemorial, Garlic is the most trusted aphrodisiacal spice.

Ginger in just any form is said to have the potential to arouse both males and females. For the impotent, it is a boon. So, drinking Ginger tea after all isn’t a bad habit to form.
