Vuka-vuka is a powerful aphrodisiac, or sex tonic, which is rapidly gaining global renown for its prowess in rejuvenating libido. It is taken by both men and women, although it is marketed primarily for men as a powerful, natural and affordable remedy for erectile dysfunction.
History
Vuka-vuka originates in the Southeast African country of Zimbabwe. It was reportedly used in the 19th century, by the famous King Lobengula, of the Ndebele, who had over 20 wives. It has been a mainstay at local Zimbabwean markets for many years, receiving exposure to Western and global markets within the last 10 to15 years.
Ingredients
There are several different varieties and strengths of vuka-vuka currently available on the market, most stemming from one of two sources. In the traditional vuka-vuka formula, the active ingredient is cantharidin, a substance extracted from crushed myalabris beetles. Cantharidin is a chemical toxin that is known to cause blistering in the skin if consumed, yet is used medically in wart removal and is known to increase blood flow to the gentalia. Cantharidin is relatively under-resesarched, however.
Many foreign producers of vuka-vuka have replaced cantharidin in their formulas with herbal alternatives. A popular alternative is tribulus terrestris, an herb also reputed for its powerful sexual enhancement qualities. A Lebanese version of the drug uses as its active ingredient an herb identified as ferula hormonis, or Shirsh Zallouh (Hairy Root Plant), a parsley perennial grown in the mountains near the Syrian, Lebanese and Israeli borders.
Function
Vuka-vuka works by stimulating a release of testosterone and blood into the nervous and lymphatic systems, which, upon stimulation, redirect this flow toward the gentalia. Unlike many commercial drugs or remedies for erectile dysfunction, vuka-vuka is taken once a month, and its effects sustain the user throughout the period.
Reviews
Vuka-vuka has recently been touted and marketed as the "African Natural Viagra." It is reported to be the most popular drug in Zimbabwe, according an Zimbabwean independent newspaper. CNN and BBC have both conducted reviews and published stories regarding the effects of vuka-vuka. There are several independent reviews published on the Internet regarding vuka-vuka, and several blog sites accounting for personal accounts and testimonials of usage.
Concerns
Vuka-vuka has a growing reputation as a powerful sexual tonic yet is relatively under-researched within the scientific community. The FDA has not initiated any study on the effects of vuka-vuka. The short- and long-term effects of cantharidin are relatively unknown. Practitioners and health specialists in Zimbabwe advise caution in avoiding overuse. Overuse has been reported to cause permanent erection in men, a dysfunction that can only be corrected surgically. Sustained overuse may also lead to kidney failure.
