Herbs to Improve Sex
In the Amazon “super-sex drinks” with herbs like Muira Puama and Guarana are taken as a daily tipple. In Mexico it’s margaritas made with Damiana. And in Asia and the Mediterranean, Horny Goat Weed – known to the Chinese as “licentious goat plant” – was taken in teas as an herbal sex booster. Throughout the centuries man has identified traditional herbs that work as natural aphrodisiacs, giving men sexual stamina and women improved hormonal balance and enhanced sex drive. As interest has grown in natural ways for sex enhancement these “last longer herbs” have gained increasing attention. Gradually scientific research has backed up the use of traditional herbs for sexual health. Natural PDE 5 Inhibitors For ED Horny Goat Weed for example contains an active substance called a PDE 5 inhibitor – the same ingredient which proved the basis of the erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. In a successful patent dispute in the US courts involving the historic use of Chinese medicine, Viagra tried to claim it was the “first to treat erectile dysfunction with PDE 5 inhibitors.” When the court examined the claim it disallowed it, on the grounds that PDE 5 inhibitors had been used as erectile dysfunction remedies Chinese medicine in herbs like Horny Goat Weed. European research on the herb Tribulus Terrestris helped to establish its growing reputation as a testosterone-lifting herb which boosts sexual performance and libido and eases menopausal symptoms. Top Herbs for Longer Lasting Sex 1) Tribulus Terrestris Tribulus Terrestris grows naturally in outback Australia, imported from Asia last century with camels (probably caught in their fur) and spread as the camel herds ran wild. However the herbs used in supplements today are not locally grown but imported. Tribulus was highlighted in the 1980s when the Bulgarian Olympic wrestling team and various NFL football teams credited it with giving them more strength and stamina. Tribulus has benefits for both men and women:
2) Horny Goat Weed Goat Weed’s name makes people laugh, so it regularly comes up as the butt of wedding breakfast jokes. The traditional story runs that it got its name when a goat herder hundreds of years ago noticed his goats got randy when they ate this herb. The naturally occurring PDE 5 in inhibitors it contains (also found in coffee, chocolate and guarana) help Horny Goat Weed increase blood flow in the genital area, improving erections in men and orgasm in women. Research shows Horny Goat Weed (botanical name epimedium) boosts sexual health:
3) Avena Sativa May 2011 it was reported that Avena Sativa syrup was found in the Osama Bin Laden compound, prompting some to speculate that Bin Laden – who was reported in 2012 to be living there with two wives – using it as a natural aphrodisiac? Avena Sativa’s common name is Wild Oats, and the sexual boost the herb gives is reflected common phrase “he’s sowing his Wild Oats” – i.e enjoying the company of multiple women. That probably came from observing what happened to stallions when fed Wild Oats – they became horny. While some claim Avena is a “natural viagra” it is probably best used in combination with stronger sex herbs like Horny Goat Weed and Tribulus. Avena Sativa’s health benefits include:
4) Damiana South American peoples had used Damiana as an aphrodisiac for hundreds of years before the Spanish missionaries recorded that the Mexican Indians drank Damiana tea mixed with sugar as an aphrodisiac. Several studies have shown Damiana is an effective sexual stimulant which works for both men and women. It:
5) Muira Puama – Brazilian Jungle Herb
Known to Brazilians as “potency wood” several studies have found Muira Puama useful for men and women with low sexual desire. It:
6) Ginseng – a Renowned Asian Energizer Ginseng has long been used in Chinese medicine as a sexual stimulant for both men and women. Scientific trials are giving credibility to the case for Korean ginseng in particular as an erectile dysfunction remedy. Two papers have recently recommended Korean ginseng as a safe, effective and economical alternative to Viagra. Ginseng:
7) Maca – Erotic South American Herb Maca appears to improve sexual desire rather than directly help get better erections. Used in the Andes for many centuries as a traditional medicine, it also improves sperm volume and health. However Maca is not approved as a listed herb on the Australian Government's Therapeutic Goods Act and so cannot legally be included in health supplements manufactured or sold in Australia. 8) Yohimbe – Heart Stopper from West Africa A popular sex stimulant for both men and women. Yohimbe however should be used with caution by anyone with a medical condition, particularly those with hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, or those on medications like anti-depressants, tranquilisers. Like Maca it is not approved for use as a listed herb on the Australian Government's Therapeutic Goods Act and so cannot legally be included in supplements manufactured or sold in Australia. |
