|
||
|
|
prolongs erection and delays orgasm, acting as a general tonic & mild
|
||
|
|
stimulant for the nerves and circlulation. Except for use as an

universal allergen and acts as a bladder irritant.

Alstonia is usually prepared by crushing two grams of the seeds and
|
||
|
|
soaking them in two ounces of water overnight. The following day the
|
||
|
|
Liquid is strained and drunk to produce the desired effect within a
|
||
|
|
short period of time. The body does build up a tolerance to this herb
|
||
|
|
over time, causing a need to increase the doseage over a period of
|
||
|
|
time. Caution is advised against over useage of this herb in any short
|
||
|
