Fennel
A teaspoonful of crushed fennel each day keeps the body healthy and helps increase energy and sexual prowess. Roman soldiers chewed fennel on long marches when they were unable to stop for food, considering it one of the finest foods for increasing strength and endurance, hence adding to its credibility as a long-standing powerful love potion. Use: Add one teaspoonful of dried seeds to each cupful of boiling water and leave to stand in a teapot until properly brewed. Strain and leave to cool. Take as tea or juice about half an hour before making love.
Fenugreek
According to the 'Doctrine of Similarities', because the pod resembles a goat's antlers which are themselves an alleged aphrodisiac, the plant may be a remedy for impotence. Various saponins contained in fenugreek are believed to help the production of some sex hormones. Use: Add one teaspoonful of seed to a cupful of boiling water and leave to stand until fully brewed. Strain and take warm as tea or cold as juice about half an hour before retiring.
Warning: Not to be taken during pregnancy.
Fo-Ti
This is one of the most widely used medicinal herbs in China where it is credited as a powerful rejuvenating tonic that also benefits the sexual system and boosts low libido. The plant is believed to have been named after an elderly Chinese man who, childless and impotent, was prescribed the weed some time in his fifties. Legend has it he lived to be 130, up to which time he fathered many children. Use: The herb is sold dried as powder, tablets or capsules, or as concentrated drops, tinctures and extracts. Drops are the easiest to take and should not exceed 2 dropperfuls per day.
