Benefits of Guava Leaves Sexually

The benefits of guava leaves sexually have to do with their ability to manage some of the causes of sexual problems. This includes:

• Boosting testosterone levels: Testosterone is important for men’s sexual health and fertility. It helps to regulate sex drive and boost the production of sperm. Low testosterone levels can reduce men’s desire to have sex and affect performance, as they also reduce the number of erections. According to a study using male rats as models, guava leaves have been shown to contain properties that can stimulate testosterone production.

• Source of Vitamin C: Guava leaves contain twice as much vitamin C as the amount found in oranges. Aside from boosting the immune system and promoting the growth and repair of cells, vitamin C is an essential mineral that can help improve erectile function. It can stimulate the release of nitric oxide (NO), a chemical responsible for relaxing the muscles (including the penis). This encourages the healthy flow of blood to the penis.

• High in flavonoids: Guava leaves are high in flavonoids, and research has shown that a diet rich in flavonoids can help to improve erections and promote sexual satisfaction in men.

• Improve blood circulation. Blood circulation is important for achieving and maintaining erections. Guava leaves contain vitamins B3 and B12  which according to studies, can help promote blood circulation and consequently improve erectile function.

• Ability to fight inflammation: Inflammation is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction and reduces sex drive. A result of a study published in the Journal of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology using rats as models has revealed that guava leaf extract has anti-inflammatory properties.

• Lower blood pressure: High blood pressure can cause the artery to be hard and narrow. This can affect erection as blood flow to the penis is reduced. According to the European Society of Cardiology, men with high blood pressure are twice as likely to develop erectile dysfunction. Drinking guava leaves (as a herbal mixture) may help to regulate blood pressure.

• Lower blood sugar level: Aside from increasing your risk of diabetes, high sugar levels can also increase your risk of erectile dysfunction. Different research has suggested that guava leaves may help balance blood sugar levels. A 2018 study using rats and another study has shown that guava leaves have a sugar-lowering effect.
