Three Top Herbs for Increasing Libido and Overcoming Impotence
In this article, we're going to take a look at some natural ways not only to increase your libido but also to help you overcome impotence, if that's a problem in your life. However, an important place to start is by making sure there isn't a physical or mental difficulty that is causing your problem in either area. Generally, that involves a visit to the doctor before you begin any kind of treatment, natural or otherwise. With that in mind, let's look at some natural cures for libido difficulties and poor sexual performance, beginning with an examination of how an erection occurs.
One of the basic factors involved in an erection is nitric oxide. When a man is sexually stimulated, nitric oxide is released to his penis, which enables the blood vessels to dilate and fill with blood, causing an erection. When the production or flow of nitric oxide is lessened, erection difficulty will be the result. Therefore, many natural impotence treatments contain substances rich in nitrogen molecules to aid in the production of nitric oxide and increase blood circulation, while others reduce stress, which is another major cause of both lack of desire and erectile dysfunction.
Here are some herbs, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals that affect libido and sex drive.
The first we'll look at is L-Arginine, which has been dubbed "Nature's Viagra" because it improves the body’s immune system, increases growth hormones, and makes more nitric oxide available to the blood. A 1994 study showed an 80% improvement in the erectile function of men who were given 2.8 grams of L-Arginine a day for just two weeks, which was an impressive result. Your results may vary, but such statistics would seem to indicate that it’s well worth a try!
Next, although it's been used in China for centuries to improve both vitality and sexual desire, ginseng has only gained popularity in the West in the past few years. Research seems to show that ginseng works by helping the body's adrenal glands secret a variety of hormones, especially adrenaline and cortisol, which have both been demonstrated to play important roles in dealing with stress. A Korean study indicated that some 60% of patients received some therapeutic effects during intercourse. Again, that would appear to make ginseng an herb to learn more about!
Finally, a much better known supplement in the Western world is Vitamin E, which has come to be called the "Sex Vitamin," due to its powerful anti-aging antioxidant properties that protect cell membranes from being damaged by free radicals. Vitamin E has been tested extensively in various studies and has been shown to be effective in treating a number of sexually-related difficulties.
There are many herbs that will be worth your time to research, but these three are generally believed to be among the most effective. Using these and other herbs responsibly, combined with a genuine effort to reduce your overall stress level, can go a long way toward both increasing your libido and helping with sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction.
