Its designation as an herb imparting
specific health benefits is true,
but primarily maca is eaten as a food
by people living in a harsh environment
where there is little else.
Are there any side effects or interactions?
In toxicity studies conducted in the U.S.,
Maca showed absolutely no toxicity and no adverse pharmacological effects.
In animal studies, the more maca animals
consume, the stronger and more sexually active they become.
Historical or traditional use: Maca's history as a
powerful strength and stamina enhancer
and libido-fertility herb stretches
back well over five hundred years.
Maca is a powerful adaptogen, which means
it has the ability to balance
and stabilize the body's systems.
Maca can raise low blood pressure AND lower high blood pressure.
Adaptogens also boost immunity and harmonize
the body's overall vitality. Rather than addressing
a specific symptom, adaptogens are used to improve
the overall adaptability of the whole system.
During the height of the Incan Empire, legend has it
that Incan warriors would consume maca
before entering into battle. This would make them fiercely strong.
But after conquering a city the Incan soldiers were prohibited
from using maca, to protect the conquered women from their
powerful sexual impulses. Thus from as far back as five hundred
years ago, maca's reputation for enhancing strength, libido
and fertility was already well established in Peru.
Parts used and where grown: Maca is a hardy perennial plant
cultivated high in the Andean Mountains
at altitudes between 11,000 to 14,000 feet.
It grows as a mat-like stem system. Maca leaves grow close
to the ground and the plant produces a small self-fertile
off-white flower typical to the mustard family,
which it belongs to. The part we are interested in,
is the pear-like tuberous root of about 8cm in diameter
and of a pale-white color. Although it is a perennial,
it is reproduced by seeds which require around
7-9 months for harvesting.
