Conclusion
In recent years, with the continuous in-depth research on the chemical components of medicinal plants and their biological activities, the therapeutic effects and efficacy have attracted more and more attention and recognition from the world, and have also brought hope for the treatment and even cure of many diseases. At present, the research on aphrodisiac medicinal plants is not very comprehensive. Most of the research work mainly studies the extracts of a certain part of the plant or the whole plant. But which components exert the aphrodisiac effect? Is it a single component or a single component? Issues such as the joint production of therapeutic effects by multiple ingredients still need to be resolved. Therefore, systematic and in-depth research on natural drugs with aphrodisiac effects has broad prospects.
