Natural ways to enhance female
libido without drugs, review of herbs that are effective and safe
Herbs are more
potent and effective than
people imagine,. This article reviews natural ways to boost or increase female libido
without the use of prescription medications or hormones. Although pharmaceutical
drugs are available, and hormones are effective, I find herbal aphrodisiacs to be safer, although they take a
few days to work at their best.
Several decades ago a new sexual revolution began in the
modern Western world. It was at that time that Viagra, a pill for the treatment
of male erectile dysfunction, was introduced. This, unfortunately, failed to
address the other most important part of sexual relations: the female partner.
It is not until recently that medical doctors have began to recognize there are
quite a number of women with low libido who have an interest in enhancing their
sexuality, yet
there are no good pharmaceutical treatment options. Fortunately there are now herbal supplements
for women that effectively address this
neglected issue of women's sexual enhancement and offer an easy home remedy.
Herbs that help a woman
Lack of or low female libido is
certainly a major concern for many women, particularly as they get older.
There are many natural ways to enhance it. One option is Passion Rx with Yohimbe, a highly evolved product that enhances
sex drive in a women within days. You may also consider individual herbal sexual enhancers called
muira puama extract,
ashwagandha extract, and
tongkat ali.
Passion Rx is a formula
created by a Medical Doctor
for women's sexual enhancement, available over the counter
Passion
Rx provides results that are sometimes seen within two or three days, but
continue to improve after several days of use.
Dr. Sahelian and his research staff have tested various doses and extracts of
dozens of herbs from a number or raw material suppliers to determine
the ideal dosage and combination for optimal female libido enhancement with the fewest side
effects. After years of research, a unique proprietary
blend with more than a dozen herbal extracts from the best raw material suppliers has been created
in order to offer an over the counter natural remedy. The exact dosages and potencies of this
unique female libido blend is a
close kept secret only known to the doctor and his research staff.
Passion Rx supports and enhances healthy:
- Libido and sexual thoughts in a woman
- Lubrication and increased genital sensation and pleasure
- Orgasms and climaxes
- Energy and stamina
For hundreds of years
civilizations around the world have known about locally grown herbs, roots,
barks, and various plants and animal-derived substances that achieve
wonderful results with far fewer side effects than prescription medications.
Now, renowned physician and herbal
expert Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., author of Natural Sex Boosters, has
discovered a combination of exotic herbs from the Amazon jungle, India, China,
Malaysia, and Africa, that promote female libido in women. Passion Rx provides a natural solution for those
looking for an alternative to synthetic drugs and it is available without a
prescription. It is available over the counter, online at iHerb and Amazon.
The potent herbal extracts in Passion Rx include
Just about every herb used to enhance female libido
has some side effects. However, the side effects are dosage related and
different women have side effects from sexual enhancing herbs at different
dosages. One option is to take a low amount of an herb, even if it is a half a
capsule, and be patient for a week. If no results occur, then the dosage can be
increased.
Ashwagandha
for sexual health in women
Biomedical Research International 2015. Efficacy and Safety of
Ashwagandha
(Withania somnifera) Root Extract in Improving Sexual Function in Women. This study demonstrated
that oral administration of ashwagandha extract improves sexual function in healthy
women.
Tribulus terrestris aphrodisiac herb for a woman
with low sexual desire
Although natural aphrodisiac
herbs are promoted mostly for men, they do work in women, too. Many of the
hormones and chemicals involved in the human sexual response are similar in
both sexes. In a new study published in the journal Gynecological Endocrinology, 40 premenopausal
women reporting diminished libido received 750 mg of Tribulus terrestris
daily for 4 months and were compared to a group receiving placebo pills. Patients treated with the
plant aphrodisiac experienced improvement in desire, sexual arousal,
lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction. Women receiving T. terrestris had
increased levels of free and bioavailable testosterone.
Understanding the causes of Low Female Libido and sexual dysfunction in women:
Psychological or Mental difficulties can cause
a decline
The causes
of psychological sexual dysfunction are numerous, and it is difficult to list them all,
but most often low female libido is related to anxiety, stress, depression, marital or relationship problems,
time constraints, the pressures of raising children, life crisis, financial difficulties, religious repression, or
some forms of mental illness.
Hormonal influence, role of DHEA and testosterone
Androgens, such as testosterone, are a major component
of female 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,
especially after 40 and 50, and even more after 60,
leading to a significant decrease in female libido.
Women who have had surgical removal of the ovaries notice a drop in sexual interest.
Replacement of androgens can be helpful in those with age related sexual dysfunction.
Testosterone is available by prescription only, including available as a patch. An over the counter hormones, such as
DHEA, converts into testosterone and thus
has a positive influence. Pregnenolone is another over the counter hormone that may increase testosterone
levels and thus enhance desire and interest. However, the risk of side effects and
potential long term health consequences of testosterone and androgen use must be taken into
account. My preference is to avoid hormones unless absolutely necessary and
instead use herbal supplements for libido enhancement. These herbal libido
boosters are extremely effective. Hormones could be used for a few days each
month if needed. High dose use can increase heart attach rate.
Biological factors appear to increase the likelihood that a woman
will engage in sexual intercourse during her most fertile days rather than at
other times. Vaginal dryness reduces a woman's interest in sex.
Acute dehydroepiandrosterone effects on female
libido and sexual
arousal in postmenopausal women.
J Womens Health Gender Based Medicine. 2002.
16 sexually functional
women post menopause received oral DHEA 300 mg or placebo 60
minutes before the presentation of an erotic video segment. Increases in mental and physical sexual arousal ratings
significantly increased in response to an acute dose of DHEA in postmenopausal
women.
Comments: DHEA is a potent hormone and the dosage should be kept to
less than 10 mg and no more than twice a week. Some women who have taken high
doses of DHEA have noticed thinning hair or hair loss.
Testosterone benefit
and side effects for low female libido
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
my interest without resorting to hormones? I really don't want to take testosterone.
Most doctors don't realize that there certain natural herbs boost female
libido similar to the hormones.
Side effects of hormone therapy in women with low
libido

postmenopausal women receiving testosterone therapy for low libido.

Vascular
Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the genital region are a minor
cause of female sexual dysfunction. For instance, medical conditions such as
atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high cholesterol, hypertension, or
diabetes reduce blood flow to the genital organs. An additional factor
that can impede blood flow is surgery in the pelvic or abdominal area.
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.
Chemical --
Some
chemicals involved in the human sexual response include dopamine, acetylcholine,
and nitric oxide. Certain medications and drugs interfere with the proper
activity of the body's chemicals and hormones responsible for optimal sexual
function.
Medical conditions, pregnancy, lactation
Certain diseases reduce female libido, performance, or enjoyment. These
include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular
disease, peripheral vascular disease, and neurologic disorders, and insomnia.
My wife is still
breastfeeding our 8months old baby. She seems not to be interested in sex since
baby was born, pls is their any safe libido enhancer that you can recommend for
a breastfeeding mom.
None of the natural aphrodisiacs have been tested in terms of
safety with lactation and breastfeeding, but new research seems to indicate that
most medications can be safely taken after the baby is a few months old and we
think this probably applies to herbs and nutritional supplements although we
cannot be 100 percent sure.
Drugs and medications that decrease and
interfere
Drugs or prescription medications that interfere with sexual function
include some medications used to lower high blood pressure, SSRIs drugs used to
treat depression, sedatives such as anti-anxiety agents
and sleeping pills, and beta-blockers such as Inderal. Alcohol's negative
affect on a woman's libido increases with age. Smoking can reduce genital
blood flow.
A survey published in the Journal of the British Association of Urological Surgeons finds that the nearly two-thirds of women report sexual dysfunction. The top problem cited among women was lack of desire, followed closely by orgasm problems, arousal issues, lack of satisfaction, lack of lubrication, and pain. Age, menopausal status and usage of antidepressants were risk factors
Natural ways to enhance female libido
Physical
fitness positively influences sexual desire and performance. Exercising thirty
minutes before sexual intercourse reduces the libido-damaging effects of
antidepressants and increases female sexual function (including orgasm).
Deep sleep is crucial for optimum female sexual function.
Eat more cold water fish for its content of fish oils. Use more spices such as
ginger root, garlic and onions. They really work but it normally takes a day or
two to notice. Use raw ginger, garlic and onions since raw works much better
than cooked.
Do yoga, stretching, or relaxation exercises.
Keep an open mind and try to be non-judgmental.
Consider natural herbs, many really work.
Improve your body image with workouts and gym. When you feel better about
your body, your interest in sex is likely to increase.
Does Viagra help increase female libido? What about Levitra and Cialis?
Viagra sildenafil) approved by the FDA in 1998, has been the most popular
medicine for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Viagra works very well in dilating
blood vessels in the genital region leading to an erection in men, however it does little to directly increase
female libido or sexual arousal. Studies in women show Viagra drug not to be
effective and women are better off using natural herbal remedies.
Female libido enhancing medication,
flibanserin
Clinical trials are underway on drugs that target low sexual desire
through dopaminergic pathways or serotonin receptors. Also in the pipeline
are combinations that include PDE5 inhibitors, aimed at aiding women with
SSRI-induced orgasmic complaints.
A "female Viagra" pill, known by its generic name, flibanserin, unlike Viagra, works on the brain. Viagra affects blood flow to the genitals. Flibanserin works on several message-carrying chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. They are serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Like other drugs such as antidepressants that affect the brain, some initial side effects reported include sleepiness, fainting and fatigue.
The Food and Drug Administration approved flibanserin in August 2015 as the first drug treatment for acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women. The drug is marketed as Addyi.
Update 2016
The much-touted "female libido" pill seems to cause a host of serious side
effects while failing to spark much additional passion in a woman's life.
Addyi (flibanserin) quadruples the risk of dizziness and sleepiness, more
than doubles the chances of nausea, and increases the risk of fatigue by
more than half, Feb. 29, 2016, JAMA Internal Medicine, online.
