A Goat Can Increase Human Sexual

History

It is believed that horny goat weed got its distinctive name from a Chinese goat feeder who fed his goats with it over 2,000 years ago when he noticed a considerable increase in sexual activity after they had eaten it.

Popularity

Horny goat weed has gained popularity worldwide in recent years but has actually been a popular herb in Chinese medicine for increasing libido for thousands. It is now marketed worldwide either on its own, or blended with other ingredients.

Definition

Epimedium is the proper scientific name and it is also known as:

Barrenwort, Bishop's Hat, Fairy Wings, or Yin Yang Huo as well as horny goat weed.

It consists of approximately 25 species of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Berberidaceae. They are found in southern Europe, and central, southern and eastern Asia and it is normally found at higher altitudes. The plant has a distinctive look,which consists of four-petals, that are configured in a spider-like shape.

Horny Goat Weed and Libido

The plant is believed to work by increasing levels of nitric oxide, which is essential to an erection. It allows the muscles of the arteries to relax and allow blood flow to increase to the genitals, of which the end result is an erection.

Without sufficient nitric oxide a man cannot get an erection – Period

This is why its role in the production of nitric oxide is so crucial

Clinical tests have shown that Horny Goat Weed is able to relax rabbit penile tissue by increasing nitric oxide as well as PDE-5 activity.

Further research has shown that injections of Epimedium extract, into the penis of rats shows an increase in the penile blood pressure.

In double blind test on humans the results were - patients taking Horny Goat Weed showed an overall increase in libido and sexual satisfaction.

Of course, as with all herbs opinion is divided, yet the fact it has been used for thousands of years and millions of people swear by it makes it worth consideration.

It is freely available in health shops without prescription and can often be found blended with other Chinese herbs.

As we have discussed in other articles it is nitric oxide that is the main cause of mild erectile dysfunction - NOT Low testosterone and this herb increases it and is effective for millions of people.

The Production of Bee

agriculturalinfo
It all begins on a flower in the field. Bees collect nectar from the flowers and bring it to the hive where it becomes either beeswax or honey. A bee's diet consists primarily of honey, and any honey not consumed by the bees or in the raising of brood is stored as surplus and is ultimately consumed in the winter months when no flowers are available. It is the other use of honey that is of interest to us here: the conversion into beeswax.

The production of beeswax is essential to the bee colony. It is used to construct the combs in which the bees raise their brood and into which they store pollen and surplus honey for the winter.

Worker bees, which live only around 35 days in the summer, develop special wax-producing glands on their abdomens (inner sides of the sternites of abdominal
segments 4 to 7) and are most efficient at wax production during the 10th through the 16th days of their lives. From about day 18 until the end of its life, a bee's wax glands steadily decline. The bees consume honey (6-8 pound of honey are need to produce a pound of wax) causing the special wax-producing glands to covert the sugar into wax which is extruded through small pores. The wax appears as small flakes on the bees' abdomen. At this point the flakes are essentially transparent and only become white after being chewed. It is in the mastication process that salivary secretions are added to the wax to help soften it. This also accounts for its change in color.

The exact process of how a bee transfers the wax scales from its abdomen to its mandibles was a mystery for years. It's now known to be done in either of two ways. Most of the activities in the hive are cooperative so it should be no surprise that other worker bees are willing to oblige and remove the wax scales from their neighbors and then chew them. The other method is for the same bee extruding the wax to process her own wax scales. This is done using one hind leg to move a wax scale to the first pair of legs (forelegs). A foreleg then makes the final transfer to the mandibles where it is masticated and then applied to the comb being constructed or repaired.

Beeswax becomes soft and very pliable if the temperature is too high (it actually melts at 149 F). Likewise, it becomes brittle and difficult to manage if the temperature is too low. However, honeybees maintain their hive at a temperature of around 95 degrees Fahrenheit which is just perfect for the manipulation of beeswax: not to hot to be at the point of dripping and not to cold to so as to be brittle.

A honeycomb constructed from beeswax is nothing short of a triumph of engineering. It consists of hexagon shaped cylinders (six-sided) that fit naturally side-by-side. It has been definitively proven by mathematicians that by making the cells into hexagons, it is the very most efficient: the smallest possible amount of wax is used for the volume of honey it contains. It has also been shown to be one of the strongest possible shapes while using the least amount of material.

The color of beeswax comprising a comb is at first white and then darkens with age and use. This is especially true if it is used to raise brood. Pigmentation in the wax can result in colors ranging from white, through shades of yellow, orange, and red all the way to brown. The color has no significance as to the quality of the wax (other than its aesthetic appeal).

Find the Duck Decoy

To find duck decoys, the best place to seek is in online auction shops on the Internet. Make sure that you double check the seller’s credentials before you commit to the purchase. This is due to the fact that if you are paying for an antique decoy, it could actually be a reproduction. Thrift shops and flea markets are also valuable places for duck decoys. These locations are usually the best spots for the nicest duck decoys. Many of the items that you find are from estate sells that the recent owner had no control over. This is a wonderful spot to find valuable decoys.

Even though the materials used for manufacturing duck decoys have changed, the concept of the body style has not changed at all. The modern decoys are just as effective as the antique versions. When hunting in large water areas, the concept is that the more decoys used the better your chances are. It is also recommended that you stray away from using the same decoy each time that you go hunting.

When you are hunting in wetland areas, to ensure that the birds coming your way fly past your decoy, then you should set up your duck upwind from your location. If you do not try this, then the geese and ducks will more than likely rest on the outer edges and this will limit your opportunities for shooting. To ensure that the ducks you are hunting will not catch on to your trick, try to group your decoys according to their species. This is due to the fact that birds typically tend to stay within their own groups when they are resting.

As you have read, duck decoys are essential for geese or duck hunters, and are well sought after by collectors. Whether you are collecting them or simply using them for hunting purposes, try to purchase a wide variety of styles and colors. As they say, you do not want to have all of your ducks in one row.
