Using Herbs
for Sexual tonics
Low libido problems can be caused by a side effect of illness, for instance bad circulation, diabetes and high blood pressure. Psychological issues such as stress, anxiety, guilt and depression also play a role. |

|
|
| One cause of decreased libido in both men and women is reduced hormone levels, specifically of the sex hormone testosterone. Erectile dysfunction, another cause of sexual problems in men, is not necessarily related to loss of desire-though it can certainly affect libido. Any drug or herb that addresses this problem is bound to get considerable attention, but do so called "herbal viagra" formulas really work? There are some natural aphrodisiacs worth a try, but be sure to do your research on what works, and even more importantly what is safe for you to take. |

Epimedium For: HIV/AIDS, impotence, and infertility. |
Profile
| Unlike the many herbs that have estrogenlike effects, epimedium is an unusual herb in that it has testosteronelike effects. It stimulates sexual activity in both men and women, increases sperm production, stimulates the sensory nerves, and increases sexual desire. This herb increases blood flow to the penis and also prevents a protein called fibrin from being deposited on capillary walls, thus preventing loss of sexual function in men with atherosclerosis. Epimedium's testosteronelike actions also allow it to fight the muscle wasting experienced by many people with AIDS. In laboratory tests, chemical components of the herb even act against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) itself. Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) | |

Panax ginseng For: Tonic - aphrodisiac |

| Ginseng has multiple effects, It acts as a tonic system balancer, a stimulant, and an aphrodisiac. Like ginkgo, it relaxes the arteries to improve blood pressure and circulation. Ginseng traditionally has been used to restore sex drive in men.

Ginseng does not increase testosterone, which could increase aggression and aggravate prostate disorders. | |
