NATURAL HERBS TO BOOST SEX DRIVE
1. Ashwagandha (Indian ginseng, winter cherry, withinia somnifera)
Ashwagandha is popularly known as Indian ginseng. It is an herb that's been used since centuries to treat impotence, premature ejaculation, infertility disorders. It is an "adaptogenic" herb which nourishes nerves and improves nerve function as well that helps your body adept to stress, one of the most common causes of sexual problems. Ashwagandha brings the body back to equilibrium by relaxing it when stressed and energizing it when fatigued. It has the ability to restore sexual drive, increase endurance and improve overall vitality, while promoting a Zen state of mind. Ashwagandha also strengthens the reproductive and respiratory system, while serving as a powerful Medhya Rasayana, which means that it enhances all aspects of an individual's mental prowess. All the parts of this plant are useful, but its roots are especially beneficial in the treatment of disorders of reproductive systems of men and women alike.
2. Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus)
Shatavari is known to be very effective in enhancing female fertility and is the best known female rejuvenative. It enhances fertility by nourishing the ovum as well as other female reproductive organs. Shatavari balances the female hormonal system, builds blood, prepares the womb for conception and prevents miscarriage. Dry membranes, such as those on the ******l wall, are also brought into balance through the demulcent action of the herbs. Shatavari is beneficial in improving male fertility as well and can be used in cases of sexual debility, impotence, spermatorrhea, and inflammation of the sexual organs. Shatavari helps to relieve PMS symptoms, such as pain and controls blood loss during menstruation, besides regulating ovulation.
3. Shilajit (Shilajita Mumiyo; Mineral pitch, Mineral wax or Ozokerite)
Shilajit is considered as the nectar or amrit of God given to mankind to live life youthfully and become immortal forever. Shilajit is widely used in the preparation of Ayurvedic medicines and is regarded as one of the most important ingredients in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. It works as an aphrodisiac, thereby helping the male sperm count and also helps in bettering the quality of sperms. It also helps in regulating sex hormones for proper functioning. It has been regarded as Indian Viagra as it is very helpful in enhancing an individual's sexual powers.
4. Garlic (Garlic, Softneck garlic, Harneck garlic, Rocambole )
Garlic has been given special importance in Ayurveda due to its immense curative properties. It is used to enhance libido in men and women. Being a sex rejuvenator, it can improve sexual activities that have been damaged due to accident or disease. Garlic is important for people who overindulge in sex to protect them from nervous exhaustion.
5. Ginger.
This tasty root (not the powdered spice variety) has been deemed an aphrodisiac for centuries because of its heady smell and the way in which it promotes circulation. Fresh ginger root steeped as a tea also eases stomach upsets. When I have a tummy ache, I always steep a few slices of fresh ginger root in boiling water. Does the trick like a charm! It’s great in Asian food and tastes wonderful with seafood. Freshly cut ginger root is also used in a kinky sex act called figging. Having experimented with figging, I can attest that it is the bull’s bollocks!
6. Sarsaparilla.
The root of this vitamin and mineral packed vine aids both men and women in the production of sex hormones testosterone, progesterone, and desoxy-corticosterone. Saponins and plant steroids found in many species of plants (including sarsaparilla) can be synthesized into human steroids such as estrogen and testosterone. Please do not confuse this plant with the sarsaparilla that is used to flavor tasty soft drinks
7. Yohimbe.
This African herb has been shown to improve a man’s staying power. You need to wait about thirty minutes for yohimbe to take effect, and the effect lasts for several hours. Take safety measures when using yohimbe and use it responsibly. Talk to your doctor first. According to the mothernature.com web site, “To be safe, if you have high blood pressure or diabetes, use yohimbe only under the care of a professional. Also, don’t take it with diet aids, commercial nasal decongestants that contain ephedrine, or with cheese, red wine or liver, since combining any of these with yohimbine (the active ingredient in yohimbe) sometimes causes side effects, such as headaches.”
8. Damiana.
This is a small green shrub with yellow flowers that is found throughout Mexico and South America. Indigenous people of the region have long used damiana as an aphrodisiac. Fans of the TV show CSI: Miami were introduced to damiana when the herb was used in scenes where it was mixed with expensive chocolate. It’s ideal in tea, and I’d recommend adding a sweet herb to it such as peppermint or spearmint, since damiana has a slightly bitter taste. Women who drink a cup of damiana tea one or two hours before having sex experience heightened pleasure. Don’t take damiana if you are diabetic.
9. Ginseng.
Long revered for its sexual properties, ginseng promotes blood production and encourages the secretion of sex hormones in men and women. Ginseng strengthens a man’s sex organs. It also boosts sexuality, circulation, and energy. Ginseng improves your vitality and general energy, so it’s good to take for overall health reasons whether you are male or female.
