Mukombero is a symbol of peace and power in Africa, and is used for medicinal purposes, particularly as an aphrodisiac. It is found in several parts of the continent, and is known by many names, including Mondia and White Ginger. Studies have shown that mukombero has a positive impact on memory, learning, alertness, energy, and even testosterone levels. It is also full of proteins, minerals, and vitamins.
In Kenya, it is available for just one euro, making it much cheaper than Viagra or other pharmaceutical products. The Kenyan Wildlife Service does not consider mukombero an endangered species, but rather a priority wildlife species for which breeding can be allowed with special permits. A magazine called Third World Medicine reported that treating guinea pigs with mukombero extracts induced a significant increase in testosterone, the main male sex hormone. In Africa, specifically in Kenya, the dried roots of Mukombero are chewed and the sap is swallowed as an aphrodisiac. In Zimbabwe, mukombero is used in a preparation known as vuka-vuka (shona, which translates to wake up, wake up). The study suggests that mukombero has sex-stimulating properties, supporting its traditional use as an aphrodisiac.
Kavaka Mukonyi Watai, director of bioprospecting at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), told the Daily Nation newspaper that mukombero is cultivated as a commercial crop in Florida and China. Mukombero has many benefits beyond its use as an aphrodisiac. It contains a wide range of vitamins (A, D, K and E), minerals (magnesium, iron, zinc and calcium) and proteins. It can help increase alertness and energy levels while also improving memory and rapid learning capacity. Mukombero is a powerful natural remedy that has been used for centuries in Africa to increase virility and endurance in the bedroom.
