Q. My husband and I are in our 70s and have been married forever. I have had a problem with vaginal dryness. My husband read about muira puama and bought some online. I take it as directed twice a day, and we make love at least 5 times a week.
A. This Amazonian herb has a reputation for treating sexual difficulties, including low libido and erectile dysfunction (Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, May/June, 2003). There is very little scientific data about its safety and effectiveness, though. Side effects may include headache, digestive upset and nervousness.
We could find no research on the use of muira puama for vaginal dryness. Your experience is certainly intriguing.
