Huanarpo macho is a bushy tree of medium size typical of Peru and, in particular, is found in abundance in the valley of the Marañon River and the district of Puno. Huanarpo macho is a plant that reflects the Doctrine of the sign, or the theory that the color of the flowers or roots, the shape of the leaves, place of growth, or other signs you can determine that for which the plant can be used . In fact, the stems of young branches of macho huanarpo have a form similar  Anatomia men and for centuries have been used in folk medicine to support, assist and enhance male sexual function.

Huanarpo macho contains sapogenine, steroids, flavonoids, essential oils and alkaloids, as well as a large amount of proantocianidina. Proantocianidine The compounds are naturally present in various plants, with anti-inflammatory actions and antiartritiche. It's been reported that these flavonoids are able to prevent skin aging and heart disease, detoxify the oxygen free radical and inhibiting peroxidation induced by UV radiation.

Numerous studies have documented the possible role of proantocianidina in sexual stimulation and, specifically, in the correction of erectile dysfunction and infertility. And the high quantities of this element in huanarpo macho agree with the traditional use of this plant as an aphrodisiac, as has been pointed out by Italian researchers who conducted studies on the presence of this element in huanarpo macho. However, a Peruvian research attributes these properties to the alkaloids of the plant.

One of the main proantocianidine, the proantocianidina B-3, is present in large amounts in the stems of young branches. According to some research, this chemical element would be able to interact and regulate bradykinin (a hormone present in the human body). Studies have shown that the corpus carvernosum relaxes in the presence of this hormone and the deterioration of muscle of endotelio cavernous springs occurs in the presence of vascular disorders such as diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, causing erectile dysfunction. By adjusting the bradykinin, as the proantocianidina B-3, then there would be a possible treatment of erectile dysfunction and / or achieve and maintain an erection for longer time periods.
With such an amount of antioxidants proantocianidine, it is not surprising that a pure extract of the roots and bark of huanarpo macho has demonstrated antioxidant properties. In a study of the guinea pigs in 2003, the researchers mixed 5 grams of powdered huanarpo macho in 100 ml of water, giving them as guinea pigs to drink. After 30 days, a group of animals that had drunk macho huanarpo had increased their levels of testosterone, but not those of progesterone and estrogen. The researchers attributed this effect to sapogenine hormone in the plant.

Herbal systems in Peru, this plant is considered an aphrodisiac, an anti-an antidiabetic, an antitussivo, an antiulcer, and a nerve. It's also used to restore male sexual potency, for premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and male sexual tonic and aphrodisiac. Recently, huanarpo macho has been called Peruvian Viagra in sales programs and is a popular aphrodisiac in Peru: as much as it is the Muira Puama in Brazil. Besides this use, the branches and bark are also used in Peruvian herbal medicine for asthma, bronchitis, cough and diabetes. Some herbalists believe that editors and huanarpo macho blocking alpha-adrenorecettori that reduce the effect of hormones that usually cause vasoconstriction of blood vessels of the penis, and can increase the production of norepinephrine which is essential in maintaining erectile function.
