Description
The excerpt discusses the use of herbal enhancers to improve male sexual function. The three plants most commonly used to create these enhancers are from the genus Eriosema (E. kraussianum, E. salignum, and E. cordatum), and from the genus Salacia (S. rehmannii, S. leptoclada, and S. kraussii). The roots of these plants are purchased without leaves and stems, which posed a challenge to gathering them together. However, this was overcome by visiting the places of origin of the plants. The active chemical components in the Eriosema plants are two closely-related pyranoisoflavones. The Salacia plants are rich in triterpene quinone methides, which are different from the pyranoisoflavones present in the Eriosema plants. According to the excerpt, the quinone methides, and particularly pristimerin, have hitherto untested aphrodisiac-like properties. However, the evidence that they are associated with male sexual disorders is very tenuous.

Our research shows for the first time that the major plant sources for these preparations are three plants from the genusEriosema(E. kraussianum,E. salignumandE. cordatum) and three plants from the genusSalacia(S. rehmannii,S. leptocladaandS. kraussii). Since it is the roots that contain the desired active components, and since these roots are purchased without above-ground appendages (i.e. leaves and stems), it posed a real challenge to bring together the root and appropriate leaf. However, this was overcome by excursions to the places of origin of the relevant plants. An interesting outcome of this task was the finding thatS. rehmannii, not normally associated with KwaZulu-Natal, is quite widespread in the Maputaland Sandveld of this province in the form ofS. rehmannii(KB) andS. rehmannii(SB). Indeed, these two plants are a major source of the much sought-after muthi, uBangalala.The active chemical components in theEriosemaplants are two closely-related pyranoisoflavones. TheSalaciaspecies mentioned above are rich in triterpene quinone methides, far-removed from the pyranoisoflavones present in theEriosemaseries. According to the current literature, the major quinone methide, pristimerin, is used for a variety of ailments, but the evidence that it is associated with male sexual disorders is very tenuous. This, of course, raises the question whether the quinone methides, and particularly pristimerin, have hitherto untested aphrodisiac-like properties, or whether unknown minor components in the plant are responsible for perceived (but untested) sex-related activity.
