Exotic spices such as ginger, pepper and cinnamon are able to stimulate pheromone production. Pheromones are our body's natural signal and erotic attractant substances, which charac- terize a person's individual radiance and appeal. Chemical messenger substances, so-called neurotransmitters, are also activated. These stimulate the body and mind, mobilizing re- serves of strength to engender a positive attitude towards life.
