Chinese sexual enhancement herbs
There are many herbs used in Chinese medicine for sexual enhancement. These
include ginkgo biloba, rou cong rong, semen cuscutae,
horny goat weed or
epimedium sagitattum, along with a common plant found all around the world,
tribulus terrestris.
There are five major areas involved
in human sexual enhancement:
Mental - The causes
of psychological sexual dysfunction and low libido are numerous, and it is difficult to list them all,
but most often low libido is related to depression, performance anxiety, marital stress
or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties, religious repression, or
some type of mental illness. Sexual enhancement is possible through various
forms of therapy, stress release, vacation, etc.
Hormonal -- Androgens, such as testosterone, are a major component
of libido. Testosterone levels decline about 1 percent each year in men, which may
contribute to lower male libido with aging. Testosterone also declines with age in women
leading to a decrease in female libido.
Women who have had surgical removal of the ovaries notice a drop in sexual interest.
Sexual enhancement through replacement of androgens can be helpful in those with age related sexual dysfunction.
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.
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. Proper diet and exercise
can reduce the risk. 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.
Neural -- Nerve damage from disorders such as diabetes, multiple
sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, and stroke affect the brains 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.
Chemical -- Some
chemicals involved in the human sexual response and libido include dopamine, acetylcholine,
and nitric oxide. Sexual enhancement is quite likely through manipulation of
these brain chemicals by using natural herbs.
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 that interfere with Sexual enhancement
Drugs that interfere with libido or 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.
Sexual Enhancement Research Update
Exercise and weight loss may
improve sexual function in obese men, researchers in Italy report. In a new
study of more than 100 obese men with erectile dysfunction, nearly a third
regained normal sexual function after participating in an intensive weight loss
program.
Sexual Enhancement emails
Q. Have received Spam mail and seen on web
sites pills that the vendors say are guaranteed to increase the size of your
penis. The ingredients seem to be the common supplements spoken about with
regard to penile health. Is there any substance to these claims and
the medical certified statements.
A. We have gotten similar emails. I am not aware of any pills that permanently
increase the size of a penis, but I am sure many herbal combinations do have
sexual enhancement properties.
Q. What is the best
sexual enhancement toy as a gift?
A. It really depends on the person receiving the gift.
Q. Does exercise lead to sexual enhancement?
A. Perhaps not directly, but indirectly exercise can help you sleep
deeper which does wonders for libido. Exercise also makes you feel better about
your body, and this could also have an influence on your libido.
Q. My doctor told me that I need testosterone to boost my
libido ever since I've had my ovaries removed. Do you think herbs can restore
libido without resorting to hormones? I really don't want to take testosterone.
A. Most doctors don't realize that there certain natural herbs have sexual
enhancement abilities as
much as the hormones.
Q. Where can i find a free sexual enhancement sample
herbal product?
A. If you do an internet search for free sexual enhancement sample
you will find some websites that you can order from.
Q. I excercise regularly and take blood pressure
medication and my blood pressure is controlled. I don't notice any problems with
libido or erectile dysfunction but I don't mind enhancing my performance. My blood
pressure usually reads 125/75 to 140/80 since I am taking my medication. How
would you suggest me using passion rx base on my history? I ask my doctor but he
said these things don't work but I would like to try it base on your
suggestions.
A. If your doctor approves you can try any of the suggestions on
this page, we are not allowed to give individual advice. Just start with low
dosages of any of the products you choose and see what works for you.
I have been
investigating the many male sexual enhancement herbs such as Maca, Damiana,
tongkat, Tribulis, and others. Most of these sexual enhancement pills seem to
have androgenic, estrogenic, or cortisol-like effects that supposedly increase
and accentuate the sexual experience. My question is this: If a male is eating
an optimal diet, has optimal hormone balance, and is in otherwise perfect
health, will these natural sexual enhancement pills have a noticeable effect?
Most of these sexual enhancement herbal pills, in most people,
will enhance even a normal sexual drive or sexual enjoyment to a more intense
experience. There are several herbs that
could help sexual health, these include
LJ100 and also tongkat ali.
Passion Rx with yohimbe is such a combination.
I am wondering which of your sexual enhancement
products I should use or what I should do? I have no heart problems, I am quite
fit and in over all good health.
I have one allergy, to cephalosporin, (a pharmaceutical anti biotic). Otherwise,
no health related issues whatsoever. Several years ago I bought a product that
was manufactured by Bell Lifestyle called Magic Bullet. I was an amazing product
for me however it is no longer available. I have the complete list of
ingredients that were in this product listed below. It was not only a sexual
enhancer, it actually took years off of my age in appearance, energy and drive,
made me sleep better and gave me an overall sense of stronger mental well being.
It was a 5-star amazing product for me and so far as I am concerned...a double 5
star anti aging product. I would very much like to have it again or something
very similar. The ingredients were 13 in total:
Siberian Ginseng Extract
Muira Puama
Saw Palmetto
Damania
Guarana Seed
Grape Seed Extract
Cayenne Pepper
Leuzea Carthamoides Extract
Rhodiola Rosea
Schisandra Chinensis
Cynomorium
Tongkat Ali
Butea Super
