Vanilla has many virtues. It has stimulating properties for the digestive system and helps to increase appetite and stimulate enzymes that promote digestion.
Just like chocolate, vanilla is believed to help reduce stress and anxiety. Rich in phenols, vanilla also slows down cellular aging and therefore plays a beneficial role for skin, hair, and nails. Finally, it is renowned, particularly in Latin America, for its aphrodisiac properties.
