Bitter kola as it is popularly called in Nigeria, is used by herbal doctors for so many treatments. It is used for the treatment of common cold, fever, STDs, etc.

Recently, I have been eating one daily and I noticed my sexual urge increased greatly. However, I do not know if it has any connection to the bitter kola I have been eating. In order to get other people's opinions, I made a post about it on Facebook and other people confirmed it works as an Aphrodisiac.

Could this be true? I do not know, as there has not been any scientific evidence to back it up.

I have not in any way recommended the use of bitter kola as an Aphrodisiac or as a treatment for anything. I am only sharing my personal experiences.
