[What is Epimedium?]

Epimedium extract is a popular aphrodisiac supplement and herbal sexual performance enhancer.It has a long history of traditional use in China for the alleviation of erectile dysfunction and for improving libido and fertility.

Also known as Horny Goat Weed, this supplement supposedly got its name after a farmer noticed that his flock of goats were particularly aroused after eating flowers of a specific type. These Epimedium flowers contain icariin, which is a natural compound that increases blood flow to sexual organs and promotes sex drive. Icariin has been found to increase Nitric Oxide synthesis as well as inhibiting the activity of the PDE-5 enzyme

[Icariin in Epimedium Extract]

Epimedium extracts powder contain an active phytochemical called icariin.Icariin has been observed to exhibit a number of useful traits, including renoprotective (liver protecting) hepatoprotective (kidney protecting), cardioprotective (heart protecting) and neuroprotective (brain protecting) effects.

It is also an antioxidant and can cause vasodilation. It exhibits antimicrobial characteristics and is thought to act as an aphrodisiac.

Icariin is classified as a flavonol glycoside, which is a type of flavonoid. Specifically, icariin is the 8-prenyl derivation of kaempferol 3,7-O-diglucoside, a prevalent and important flavonoid.

I went to Jungle Cafe this past weekend and wanted to recreate this awesome squash salad but I had no squash and the other ingredients so I made my version! Here’s the recipe:

Two medium sweet potatoes, diced
One avocado, diced
One bag of mixed greens (4 cups)
A handful of pumpkin seeds
A drizzle of EVOO
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
A dash of cinnamon

1. Rinse the diced sweet potatoes and drain.
2. Season the potatoes with the seasonings above.
3. Massage the potatoes all seasonings are mixed in well.
4. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
5. Make sure they are a bit al dente (not too mushy)
6. In a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, sauté the potatoes and brown.
7. Let me cool a bit then place the warm potatoes and avocados on top a bed of freshly rinsed greens.
8. Take a handful of pumpkin seeds and sprinkle on top.
9. Top with Goddess dressing and enjoy!

Is my QUEEN BEE ALIVE and laying? Brood frame closeup examination – beekeeping 101

We take a closeup view of a honeybee frame of brood removed during a beehive inspection from a beekeeper’s apiary. We briefly examine the difference between a drone and a worker bee, and talk about what went wrong when our queen escaped from the brood chamber into our honey supers. This is a continuation of a series of videos on this topic.

The video also shows in more detail the layout of queen eggs, larvae pupae, both worker bee and drone cells, and how the bees design their layout on a typical brood frame. Honey stores, pollen stores and the brood itself.

We encourage you to look at our earlier videos and specifically a short closeup of the honey bee queen eggs and larvae (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-2E76XaDYk), or alternatively our playlist of CLOSEUPS which has many related and interesting videos (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfE6cWwwWKoiXEp4xSACAmvTHSrweW0nU)

BUT, if the art of beekeeping interests you, the best place is to visit our https://www.mahakobees.com website for many instructional and HOWTO videos.

We invite you to subscribe, like, and share our content.
Have a relaxing day
