In trouble with your girl? This might help.
Due to this orchid's resemblance to the male’s reproductive organ, it was used in the times of the Roman Empire as a treatment for men’s virility problems. It was also used as an aphrodisiac.
The medical use of the hanging naked man orchid does not end with this. This orchid is also known to have anti-flatulent properties (flatulence causing gas in a person’s digestive system). It also happens to have demulcent properties, meaning it will help in smoothing the skin. Besides this, it is also very well known for having nutritive and anti-diarrheal properties (best for children).
Lastly, it is a tuberous root with nutritional value and is the source of the powder used in the drink, Turkish Delight.
