The seeds of Kapikachu are one of the best tonics and aphrodisiacs to the reproductive system, male or female. They increase sexual energy, strengthen the reproductive organs and through them vitalize our entire system. They are commonly used with Amalaki, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Bala, Vidari, Gokshura and other tonics to make various pills and herbal jellies. While Kapikachu is one of the more expensive Ayurvedic herbal tonics, it is still far less expensive than ginseng and many other herbal tonics. A not unpleasant tasting bean, Kapikachhu can be cooked in rice as a wonderful herbal food.
Dosage:
One teaspoon of Kapikachu seeds boiled in one cup of water stimulates sexual energy and prevents premature ejaculation. For bronchial asthma, one-half teaspoon of the powder along with a teaspoon of ghee serves as a good bronchodilator.
Kapikachhu has recently been found to be a natural source of L-dopa, used to treat Parkinson’s disease. Several Ayurvedic companies in India use an extract of the herb for this purpose. It can be taken as a regular herbal food, one to two teaspoons a day, for Parkison’s and similar diseases of nerve weakness.
