More Herbs to Help Improve Your Sex Life
There are a number of herbs that have been shown to help people improve their sex lives. We've talked in previous articles about some of the better known ones, such as ginseng, peppermint, coffee, bayberry, and cayenne, but there are many others that have been proven to have a positive effect on sexual desire, performance, and lubrication, all of which are important to a healthy and enjoyable sex life. Here are a few examples of those types of lesser known, but effective herbs, many of which are available in the form of pills, tinctures, or teas:
Catuaba comes from a bush that grows in South America. For centuries, it has been used as an aphrodisiac by the native people, and has recently become one of the most popular sexually stimulating plants in extensive circulation in South America. Catuaba works by stimulating the central nervous system, especially those nerve functions that control human sexual response.
Cuscuta comes from the seeds of the dodder plant, which grows in many different varieties in many places throughout North America. Cuscuta serves to stimulate and normalize the parts of the nervous system that control the sexual organs. It can be helpful in treating premature ejaculation, and besides revitalizing the sexual organs, it can be used as an aid to urination. People who use cuscuta also report that it has an pleasingly stimulating effect upon their general nervous system.
Damiana is a small shrub that grows primarily in Mexico, and has long been used for various medicinal purposes. Like other herbs of its type, damiana stimulates the function of the sympathetic nerves that are involved in controlling the sexual organs, as well as those controlling the urinary system and the organs involved in the digestive and respiratory systems. It has a positive effect on the functions of the sexual organs and urinary system, in much the same way as the female hormone progesterone. That makes damiana especially help for women.
The fruit of the hawthorn comes from a tree that can be found in temperate zones throughout the world. It has been shown to stimulates heart function and blood flow, and a healthy blood circulation is critical to sexual performance and enjoyment for both men and women. It can improve a woman's engorgement and man's erection.
There are other herbs that can help improve your sex life, as well. Study the available literature carefully and as with anything else you put into your body, use caution and common sense when using herbs to augment your sexuality.
