Boost Your Love Life….Naturally
Carlos Santo MS, NMD
It happens to the best of us. Your partner is raring to go and somehow, some way, it’s just not there for you. Sometimes your body is in need of a little boost. The good news is there are a number of natural herbs and nutrients that can not only boost your immune system and energy levels, but can also give a much-welcomed kick to your love life as well. Let’s look at a few of the most well researched items that are just a store shelf’s reach away.
- Tribulus –this hearty weed is native to southern Europe, Asia, and even thrives in the desert. Research shows that a majority of sexual difficulties in both genders start in our heads, not our sex organs. This popular medicinal herb boosts sexual function by increasing the brain’s communication with the sex organs. Communication is key in any relationship!
- Maca – This age-old aphrodisiac is native to Peru. It’s a great stress reducer, which really comes in handy when stress is hampering your lovemaking potential. But watch out – this plant can increase sperm count. Be extra careful if family planning is not on your agenda this evening!
- Panax Ginseng – This natural antioxidant and possible anti-cancer herb is native to China, Japan, and most of mainland Asia, where it has been prized for centuries as a virility and libido booster. Panax is also an adaptogen, which helps the body better handle the effects of stress. Caution here too as it not only elevates testosterone but also may enhance sperm counts. By the way, women need testosterone just as much as men do when it comes to sex drive and ability to perform, so I am talking about both of you!
- Chrysin – This extract of the Passion Flower plant prevents the conversion of testosterone to too much estrogen. The result? More testosterone is available to do what it does best – fun times!
- Zinc – Not just for men anymore, this potent mineral, which occurs naturally in whole grains, shellfish, organ meats, and unprocessed fruits and vegetables, works much like Chrysin in keeping the testosterone to estrogen ratio nice and strong. Being also a powerful antiviral and immune strengthener, you’ll want to keep this potent macro mineral in your medicine cabinet for any time your feeling run down, sexually or otherwise.
A Word to the Wise
Certain lifestyle no-no’s should also be considered if you’re having trouble in the bedroom.
Recreational drugs, alcoholic beverages, certain medications, and cigarette and marijuana smoking can deplete your nutritional reserves, constrict the circulation to your sex organs, and put a real crimp in your love life. Lack of exercise, poor diet, and the resulting weight gain (particularly around your mid-section) can also harm your confidence and self-esteem, taking you further you down the wrong path from happy sexual function.
These are just a few thoughts for those of you seeking a proactive way to heighten your lovemaking potential. Remember it is never too late to make positive changes. Medical treatments may offer short-term benefits but if it’s real and lasting change you’re after, the natural route is the only way to go.
Healthiest Regards,
