Śukra Male Tonic

The Śukra Male Tonic from Wild Sage Apothecary.

Named after the Sanscrit word for semen, which also holds meaning of “radiant,” “bright,” and “shining”—and also sounds similar to the word for sugar in many languages—this tonic was formulated from ancient aphrodisiac and tonic longevity herbs to offer synergistic benefits to the whole man.

The herbs in this tonic have traditionally been used to support the health of male hormones, fertility, longevity, and vital libido (all one and the same) from a range of angles.

Low energy, anxiety, lack of mental clarity, disembodiment, poor cardiovascular health, erectile dysfunction, unconscious (“premature”) ejaculation, low libido, low testosterone, high estrogen, falling sperm count, sperm with poor motility and morphology…these are all concerns that plague many modern men.

This is not merely a sexual wellness tonic or an aphrodisiac in our limited understanding of those terms—this is a longevity tonic, created to support full body wellness in men.

(Women can also consume these herbs of course, but we also have a female-specific blend in the shop, Nereid Female Tonic.)

Strengthen and build your vessel by attuning to the ancient wisdom of herbalism from across the world—Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and indigenous North and South American medicine traditions—all of which converge in one glass bottle that you’ll hold in the palm of your hand.

Two prime “herbs” worth mentioning are the ashwaganda root (a classic Ayurvedic ED remedy, that also supports so many other functions including thyroid health which is foundational to hormonal health), and deer antler velvet (the potent velvety soft antler tips that fall off young male deer, which are a Taoist tonic herb for supporting Jing, and thereby overal stamina and longevity as a person).
