Tribulus Fruit Organic, Cut & Sifted [1 oz.]

Tribulus is a plant that produces fruit covered with spines. Rumor has it that

tribulus is also known as puncture vine because the spines are so sharp they

can flatten bicycle tires. People use the fruit, leaf, and root as medicine for

wide-ranging complaints. Tribulus is used for kidney problems, including kidney

stones, painful urination, a kidney disorder called Bright's disease, and as a

“water pill” (diuretic) to increase urination; for skin disorders, including

eczema (atopic dermatitis), psoriasis, and scabies; for male sexual problems,

including erectile dysfunction (ED), involuntary release of semen without

orgasm (spermatorrhea), and to increase sexual desire; for heart and

circulatory system problems, including chest pain, high blood pressure, high

cholesterol, and “tired blood” (anemia); for problems with digestion, including

colic, intestinal gas (flatulence), constipation, and to expel intestinal

parasitic worms; for pain and swelling (inflammation) of the tissue lining the

mouth (stomatitis) and sore throat; and for cancer, especially nose tumors.

Women use tribulus to tone muscles before childbirth, to cause an abortion, and

to stimulate milk flow. Some people use tribulus for gonorrhea, liver disease

(hepatitis), inflammation, joint pain (rheumatism), leprosy, coughs, headache,

dizziness (vertigo), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and enhancing athletic

performance. It is also used for stimulating appetite and as an astringent,

tonic, and mood enhancer.
