This hardy member of the Nightshade Family of plants (familiar relatives are the potato, tomato, eggplant and tobacco) comes to us from the native people high in the Andes mountains of Peru, South America. It is used both as a food and a medicine. Maca works to nourish the glandular control bridge of the brain (pituitary-hypothalamus-pineal-complex) and encourages it to work properly. This control bridge then coordinates and encourages the function of the ovaries, testes, adrenals, pancreas, thyroid, thymus etc., and they begin producing their hormones again. Maca is especially useful for women to relieve the torments and suffering of menopause, sugar cravings and depression during and after menopause. Peruvian folk medicine describes the use of Maca to be for the following: for men and animals, increased fertility and increased sexual function. Women find relief for hot flashes, correction of menstrual disorders, more youthful skin, improved sexual desire, normalizing vaginal lubrication and improved emotional balance. For both men and women: Energy and stamina, to correct anemia, to build immunity and improve memory.
