[What is Epimedium?]

Epimedium extract is a popular aphrodisiac supplement and herbal sexual performance enhancer.It has a long history of traditional use in China for the alleviation of erectile dysfunction and for improving libido and fertility.

Also known as Horny Goat Weed, this supplement supposedly got its name after a farmer noticed that his flock of goats were particularly aroused after eating flowers of a specific type. These Epimedium flowers contain icariin, which is a natural compound that increases blood flow to sexual organs and promotes sex drive. Icariin has been found to increase Nitric Oxide synthesis as well as inhibiting the activity of the PDE-5 enzyme

[Icariin in Epimedium Extract]

Epimedium extracts powder contain an active phytochemical called icariin.Icariin has been observed to exhibit a number of useful traits, including renoprotective (liver protecting) hepatoprotective (kidney protecting), cardioprotective (heart protecting) and neuroprotective (brain protecting) effects.

It is also an antioxidant and can cause vasodilation. It exhibits antimicrobial characteristics and is thought to act as an aphrodisiac.

Icariin is classified as a flavonol glycoside, which is a type of flavonoid. Specifically, icariin is the 8-prenyl derivation of kaempferol 3,7-O-diglucoside, a prevalent and important flavonoid.

How to Decorate Cookies: https://www.eatingwell.com/healthy_cooking/healthy_cooking_101_basics_techniques/how_to_decorate_cookies

Watch as Eating Well shows you how to make an icing recipe using natural dyes! Decorate cookies for any holiday using homemade icing made from all-natural ingredients, such as vegetables, rather than ingesting artificial food dyes. Create the food coloring using natural ingredients. For a green icing color, use 1/8 teaspoon of Imperial Matcha green tea powder combined with one cup of confectioner’s sugar and dried egg whites in a small bowl. Stir in two tablespoons of water, 1/2 teaspoon of light corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to give the cookie icing a sweet flavor. Adjust the consistency by adding more water for a thinner homemade icing or more powdered sugar to make it stiffer. Create pink food coloring using red dye or cranberry juice concentrate. Natural food coloring made from vegetables typically creates orange, green, or purple colors, so choose a color that corresponds to the time of year you’re decorating in. Place small quantities of white food coloring in bowls and add small quantities of food coloring to each one, mixing well. Decorate cookies using a piped design by spooning the homemade icing into pastry bags fitted with a fine writing tip. Painting in a straight line is easier this way. In order to decorate the cookies, use water to thin out the natural dyes until it’s the consistency of heavy cream. Paint on frosting using a watercolor brush to create one-of-a-kind designs. These icing recipes help turn an old favorite into a more natural dessert that contains ingredients you know are safe!
