Aphrodisiacs like VULVA Original are a means of stimulating or increasing libido. The word aphrodisiac comes from the Greek (τἁ Ἀφροδίσια, “love pleasure”) and is derived from Aphrodite, the goddess of love. It specifically stimulates sexual desire, sexual lust and, in particular, the sexual organs.

The use of aphrodisiacs goes back thousands of years in Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, Roman and Greek cultures. Although the basis and effectiveness of these substances was not researched until much later, aphrodisiacs were valued early on for their ability to improve sexual experience through pleasure.
