In honor of Valentine's Day this month, we of course wanted to touch on the fact that herbs do have a purpose in a human's hormone and sexual health. We have many "potions" a.k.a. tinctures that can assist with a male or female's sexual health in more ways than one.
For thousands of years herbs have been associated with “love potions” and human #sexuality. Herbs can assist when sexual dysfunction exists. They can awaken your libido, boost your performance stamina and increase your sexual excitement for both partners. We do however correlate unhealthy lifestyles, certain disease processes, high fat diets, and over use of pharmaceutical drugs, which can additionally lead to low energy and lack of time for love.
Our sexuality and need for love is part of our lives at the most elemental level of our being. There are aphrodisiac herbs that stimulate gland and hormone activity and the body’s energy. The kind of energy that turns thoughts and mood to love. That sounds pretty good to me! Herbs can help to maximize your personal potential for a more rewarding sexual and happier lifestyle. The effectiveness of herbs can be quite specific for both sexes. If there are psychological or stress-related problems impeding sexuality (up to 80% related to emotional or mental stress), herbs can help by turning the attention to love-making and stimulating short-term energy against impotence or frigidity.
Aging is not a cause of impotence or lack of libido for either man or woman. Normal sexual function requires healthy organs and balanced glands to produce necessary sex hormones. Additionally, there are herbal constituents that help combat disorders associated with sex, such as impotence, difficulty achieving orgasm, menstrual and menopausal complaints, and prostate problems. Herbs can work quite specifically, and often quite quickly to remedy sexual problems and enrich your sexual experience.
MEN'S HEALTH:
Herbs work differently in men and women for sexual enhancement. The most sexually stimulating herbs contain substances that support male gland and nerve systems in a direct way. They increase energy for the male reproductive system, supply highly absorbable nutrients, such as minerals that give the male body a solid foundation of nourishment it needs to favorably affect potency and sperm production. Zinc for example, is concentrated in the sperm, thus frequent ejaculation may diminish the body's zinc stores. The body can respond to this “lack of zinc” by reducing the sex drive. Herbs can replace the lost zinc needed for virility. Men often encounter side effects with prescription medication to enhance libido or manage erectile dysfunction which can be unpleasant. Herbs can act quickly but are also cumulative in the body to build a strong reproductive system.
WOMAN'S HEALTH:
For women it all comes down to hormone balance. Hormones are incredibly important and that seems to be the root of most women’s problems. Hormones are secreted in the bloodstream by the glands and move throughout the body to stimulate specific functions. Plant based hormones from herbal sources nourish and tone and improve blood flow to the female glands and organs. Women are very in tune to what turns them off and what turns them on and the quality of herbs (plant hormones) make them very useful for a broad range of conditions such as low sex drive and function, vaginal dryness, and moodiness.
