Vanilla’s power is in its yummy aroma. Even before one morsel reaches the taste buds, the hypothalamus—the gland that controls memory and emotion—springs into action, evoking feelings connected with vanilla’s powerful scent. When consumed, vanilla improves sexual debilitation and kicks the central nervous system into gear, causing sensations to feel even better. Add a few drops of vanilla essence into your bath or devour ice cream made from this sweet bean after dinner.
