University of Massachusetts ethnobotanist Chris Kilham, Medicine Hunter recently returned from a global search for botanical aphrodisiacs that put him face-to-face with native shamans and herbalists from Peru to Siberia to Malaysia and the Himalayas. Hot Plants for Him and Hot Plants for Her formulas are the result of his intercontinental trek, and Hot Plants: Nature's Proven Sex Boosters for Men and Women (St. Martin's Press) chronicles his adventures. Hot Plants are sold in health food stores and online, http://www.enzy.com/hotplants/default.asp .

"Our modern culture is infected with DINS," says Kilham, Explorer in Residence at U. Mass., "that is -- dual income, no sex. Forty-five percent of married couples report having intimacy only 1-3 times per month. Thirty million American men suffer from performance issues, while record numbers of women complain of low libido due to the stress and fatigue of daily living.

"Ancient cultures," he explains, "treated intimacy problems using indigenous plant medicines. These treasured botanicals have worked for centuries and today substantial scientific research validates their value."

Human clinical studies have shown improvement in sex drive, sexual function and overall satisfaction utilizing traditional hot plants including Maca from Peru, Rhodiola Rosea from Siberia, Tongkat Ali from Malaysia, Panax Ginseng from Korea, and Yohimbe from west Africa.

Medicine Hunter Kilham has swum with the piranhas, feasted on scorpions, swigged snake liquor and danced through white-hot fire pits. In March, his new Medicine Hunter television series will broadcast to 20 million U.S. homes on the Healthy Living Channel. A year ago, Kilham appeared on ABC 20/20 to dispel the myth that herbal aphrodisiacs are a bunch of hooey. They're not. According to December 2005 data from SPINS, information and service provider for the Natural Products Industry, Hot Plants formulas rated as the #1 women's product and #2 men's product in the "libido" category.

This Valentine's Day, you can find Hot Plants at health food stores including Whole Foods, Wild Oats, and GNC.
