Herbs For Sex

If your sex drive is robust and responsive, then generally speaking, you’re probably in pretty good shape hormonally. But if it’s not quite where it needs to be and you are experiencing symptoms like erectile dysfunction or ED for men and decreased pleasure, low libido or desire in both men and women, then it may be time to introduce some libido boosting herbs and foods, because, as you may have guessed, these achieve their effect by rejuvenating, balancing and regulating the endocrine system. If you want to boost or balance your hormones and hence your sex drive, you’ll want to do it safely, which means going about it in one of two ways:

1. Supply your body with food-based raw materials to manufacture hormones and increase sexual performance and function
2.  Use special herbs for sex that regulate and balance your entire endocrine/hormonal system instead of arbitrarily supplementing with single, specific synthetic or bio-identical hormones

But even beyond their hormonal and libido boosting properties, many of these supplements and herbs for sex are sacred, revered medicines and foods in their own right. They have powerful healing properties that bring the entire mind-body-spirit triad into greater balance and harmony. As such, they should be treated with respect, and know that they may have additional effects above and beyond boosting your libido.

Following are some of the herbs with magical properties which help to increase sexual satisfaction.

1. Shilajit

Shilajit is formed under the weight of the Himalayan Mountains in India and Nepal and in remote regions you’ll find it seeping out of crags and split rocks at  high altitudes. It’s been used for thousands of years in India to restore female and male sexual performance, function and overall health, and it’s a staple food if you’re looking to boost your sex drive. It is known to contain several minerals and the organic compound called fulvic acid that contributes to its action. Studies have shown that Himalayan Shilajit helps to increase spermatogenesis, testosterone levels, sperm counts and sperm motility in men and oogenesis in women. Besides, it has shown stress-relieving properties and this may also contribute to its aphrodisiac effects.

2. Ginseng

A root that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, ginseng can be of three types – Asian ginseng, Siberian ginseng and American ginseng. For centuries, people in China have used ginseng to cure problems with sexual function because it acts on both the reproductive as well as the nervous system to increase libido. By its action on the blood vessel of the penis, it helps to improve erection; through its tonic action on the body.

It also improves energy levels by increasing levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine reducing stress and enhancing the pleasure.

3. Gokshura

Also called Gokhru, it has the property of increasing the secretion of the hormone testosterone and therefore, exhibits aphrodisiac properties, causing sexual arousal in both women and men. In women, it also helps to keep levels of prolactin low and this contributed to its aphrodisiac properties because prolactin tends to reduce sexual desire.

4. Shatavari

An aphrodisiac for women, it has tonic and calming properties. Besides increasing energy levels, it also helps to regulate the levels of the female hormones and thus, has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the reproductive system. Although primarily prescribed for women, Shatavari is also considered useful to increase the sex drive in men too.

5.  Ashwagandha

An aphrodisiac for men, its extracts have the ability to stimulate the production of nitric oxide in the body. This causes a dilatation of the blood vessels that carry blood to the genitals, leading to increased sexual desire and mood.
