Passion Rx sexual enhancement product for men and women

Clavo huasca (Tynanthus panurensis) is a large woody vine indigenous to the Amazon rain forest and other parts of tropical South America. The name means 'clove vine' ('clavo' = 'clove' or 'nail'; 'huasca' = 'vine') and refers to the rich clove-like scent of the trunk and leaves. Sections of the trunk and stems are macerated in aguardiente (sugar cane liquor), producing a drink said to be an aphrodisiac. A tea made from the clove vine is used to treat rheumatism, and the sap is used to treat fever.
