How to use Kayan Mata
There are different ways to use Kayan Mata, but the main ones are the oral and virginal routes.
The oral type comes primarily in liquid form. Ingredients include Aya (Tiger nut), Dabino (dates), onions, watermelon, and moringa seeds. It is beneficial due to its fruit ingredients, as watermelon contains citrulline which has an effect on sexual drive.
The virginal type includes the introduction of substances into the vagina. As opposed to the oral route, the substance may be liquid or gas. In the administration of the gaseous substance, a woman is asked to burn certain herbs and allow the smoke to enter her vagina.
However, some liquid substances are inserted into the vagina while others are introduced through a Sitz bath.
The usage of each substance is based on the type and purpose of use.

Side Effects of Kayan Mata
As wonderful as this aphrodisiac sounds, it also comes with its negative effects.
Infection
Using kayan mata can introduce some kind of infection, like a vagina yeast infection. In other words, your frequent use may be the reason for recurrent vaginal candidiasis or recurrent vaginal discharge.
Also, it can cause diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, which is the cause of infertility in 1 in 10 women globally, according to Mayoclinic.
The symptoms of PID are fever, vaginal discharge, foul vaginal odor, pain during intercourse, irregular menstrual periods, and tubal blockage.
Women who use kayan mata are also at great risk of introducing bacteria inside their bodies.
Blood poisoning
Though this side effect has not been reported, it can never be totally ruled out. Using kayan mata can lead to a certain level of blood toxicity if the active agent leaks into the blood.
This can result in life-threatening complications like blood poisoning and blood infections (sepsis).
