Passion Rx for low libido
The herbs in Passion Rx include Ashwagandha, Catuaba, Cnidium, Muira Puama, Tongkat ali, Tribulus, and Yohimbe.

There are five major areas involved in decreased libido:

1. Psychological - The causes of psychological decreased libido are numerous, and it is difficult to list them all, but most often decreased libido is related to depression, performance anxiety, marital stress or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties, religious repression, or some type of mental illness.

2. Hormonal - Androgens, such as testosterone use, can lead to increased libido. Testosterone levels decline about 1 percent each year in men, which may contribute to decreased libido in men and women. Women who have had surgical removal of the ovaries have decreased libido. Replacement of androgens can be helpful in those with age related decline in libido. Testosterone is available by prescription only. An over the counter hormones, such as DHEA, converts into testosterone and thus has a positive influence on libido. Pregnenolone is another over the counter hormone that may increase testosterone levels and thus enhance libido. For information on female libido.

3. Vascular - Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the penis are thought to be a common cause of male erectile dysfunction. For instance, medical conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes reduce blood flow to the penis and genital organs thus leading to difficulty with erection or genital swelling.  Additional factors that can impede blood flow include penile injury, surgery in the pelvic or abdominal area, and sitting on a bicycle too long. Men who log several thousand miles a year on their mountain bikes suffer scrotal damage that could reduce their fertility.  

4. Neural--Nerve damage from disorders such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke affect the brain’s ability to respond to sexual stimulation. In women, abdominal or pelvic operations can occasionally lead to nerve damage. Sexual dysfunction is common in men undergoing surgical treatment for prostate enlargement or cancer.

5. Chemical--Some chemicals involved in the human sexual response and libido include dopamine, acetylcholine, and nitric oxide.

Libido and Medical conditions
Certain medical conditions reduce libido, performance, or enjoyment. These include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and neurologic disorders, and insomnia.

Drugs lower libido
Drugs that lower libido or interfere with optimal sexual function include some anti-hypertensives, SSRIs, sedatives, and beta-blockers. Alcohol's negative affect on libido increases with age. Smoking can reduce genital blood flow.

Libido and testosterone cream
Testosterone cream does not appear to boost libido of women cancer survivors suffering from low libido. Dr. Debra L. Barton of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota, wanted to find out if the testosterone hormone cream could be helpful to female cancer survivors who normally experience a drop libido, especially after treatment for breast or gynecologic cancers. The researchers randomized 150 women to receive the testosterone cream or a placebo cream for four weeks, after which they were switched to the opposite treatment for an additional four weeks. While women given testosterone showed an increase in blood levels of the hormone, their change in libido was the same whether they were on the real testosterone cream or the placebo. All studies in which testosterone cream was found to help increase libido were conducted in postmenopausal women taking estrogen. But because women in the current study were cancer survivors, estrogen supplementation was not an option, even though their levels of estrogen were low. It's likely that a woman must have adequate levels of estrogen in order for testosterone to be an effective treatment for low libido. Journal of the National Cancer Institute, May 2, 2007.

Q. I take 3 blood pressure medicines which appear to have sent my libido packing and which left my sex life withering, if not absolutely limp. I take Cardizem LA 360, Benicar 40 and Toprol XL 120, each once a day. My doctor felt I might ameliorate my dilemma by taking a drug like Cialis (better if it were see Alice :-)), however I would prefer a natural herbal supplement if one exists. Recently, someone told me about muira puama which they said worked better than the prescription drugs. My doctor knows nothing about muira puama and most other herbs. She said she never studied it in medical school and has no time to learn about it now. What have you heard and read about muira puama? Is it safe to take this herb with this host of blood pressure medications I take? Does the sex herb have a downside or side effects in short or long term use?
   A. Cardizem is a calcium channel blocker. Benicar ( olmesartan medoxomi l  is hydrolyzed to olmesartan during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Olmesartan is a selective AT1 subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Toprol is a beta blocker. All three heart and blood pressure medicines can cause decreased libido. You can learn more about muira puama here. We are not in a position to say whether you should or should not take this sexual herb. You may also consider reading about hypertension natural option.
