Sexual Dysfunction
Some factors related to sexual
dysfunction in women include; stress, illness and aging. These
conditions can affect our body's ability to produce certain
chemicals responsible for sexual desire. Sometimes women need
the aid of a female aphrodisiac to assist or improve their
sexual stimulation.
Horny Goat Weed acts as a herbal aphrodisiac
for women to raise the level of hormones to increase a woman's
libido.
History of Horny Goat Weed
Although Horny GoatWeed has a
history as a traditional botanical medicine used in China
and Japan for disorders of the kidney, joints liver back and
knees - its principle use is as an herbal aphrodisiac for
women and men to treat male and female low libido.
Horny Goat Weed also known as Yin Yang Huo was discovered
in 200 B.C. Legend has it that an ancient Chinese goat herder
noticed that his flock suddenly become sexually active after
grazing in a certain patch of weed. Further investigation
of this weed resulted in the discovery of Horny Goat Weed.
The Chinese consider Horny Goat Weed the premier libido lifter
for both men and women and an excellent tonic for erectile
dysfunction. Known as the king of sex enhancers due to its
testosterone-like effect, the plant has long been employed
to restore sexual desire, help fatigue, increase sperm production
and stimulates the sensory nerves.
Active Ingredients in the Herbal Aphrodisiac for Women
Burra Gokhru (Tribulus
Terrestis) - This herb, commonly known as puncture vine, has
long been used among Ayurvedic practitioners for the treatment
of genito-urinary tract disorders and liver tonic. Tribulus
Terrestis has however in recent times shown its effectiveness
in improving sexual function. Studies in the 1980’s showed
further convincing evidence of its action on sexual function.
Tribulus Terrestis also contains powerful steroid saponins
(furostanol type) which have been used traditionally to improve
the libido. Studies per formed in Europe concluded that supplementation
with tribulus could increase testosterone levels by 30% or
more in just five days.
Muira Puama (Lirosma Ovata)
- Muira Puama is traditionally used as an aphrodisiac. South
American Indians sometimes drink a Muira Puama beverage before
planned lovemaking to enhance sexual desire. Muira Puama is
also a traditional herb for nervous exhaustion and depression.A
paper presented at The First International Congress on Ethnopharmacology
held in Strasbourg, France, in 1990,described a trial done
at the Institute of Sexology in Paris on 262 men with erection
problems and a lack of sexual desire. Researchers found that
over half of the subjects given a daily dose of 1 to 1.5 g
of Muira Puama extract over two weeks experienced positive
benefits to their sex lives.
Green Oats (Avena Sativa)
- Avena Sativa (Wild Oats) is a botanical extract that has
traditionally been used to increase strength ,mind, spirit
and body. References to the sexually stimulating effects of
oats have been found up to 200 years ago in the German Pharmacopoeia
. Modern studies at the Institute For Advanced Study of Human
Sexuality have shown that Avena Sativa helps improve inte
rest in sex .
Researchers discovered that Avena Sativa works by freeing
up testosterone, which becomes increasingly bound to various
compounds within the body with advancing age. Bound testosterone
is not nearly as effective as free testosterone in stimulating
the sex centres in the brain that generate the sex drive that
leads us to seek out and engage in sexual activity.
Damiana (Tu rn e ra Diffusa)
- Damiana has an ancient reputation as an aphrodisiac. In
traditional medicine it has been used for thousands of years
and is indicated for use as a preventative for disease and
sexual dysfunction.In the 1900s, a doctor in the US who conducted
research in his own practice found Damiana to assist in cases
of partial impotence and sexual debility. And in Europe the
herb is deemed not only to enhance sexual ability, but to
also have an excellent effect on the reproductive organs.
Experts believe it aids sexual function by mildly irritating
the urethra. The urethra is the passageway for urine, and
in men it also acts as a genital duct that carries sperm to
the exterior.
It is hypothesised that this slight irritation increases the
sensitivity of the penis.
The leaves contain beta-sitosterol and other aromatic oils.
These constituents may be responsible for the stimulant effect
and the building of the sexual and reproductive systems. It
is also used for chronic fatigue and mental and physical exhaustion.
Korean Ginseng (Panax
Ginseng) - Panax has traditionally been used inte rnally for
illnesses associated with old age or lack of appetite, insomnia,
stress, shock and chronic illness. Ginseng contains phytochemicals
that may support endurance and stamina. Panax Ginseng Extract
also has a reputation as an aphrodisiac.Researchers note the
herb stimulates the central nervous system .
Korean Ginseng does appear to exert an action on reproductive
and cellular function. It has been shown to promote spermatogenesis
in men.
A study published in the journal
British Pharmacology, May 1995, concluded that substances
in ginseng extract known as ginsenosides work in a similar
way as Viagra in enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, which
helps relax artery walls, allowing more blood flow into the
penis.
Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus
senticosus) - Although not as popular as Asian ginseng, eleuthero
use dates back 2000 years, according to Chinese medicine records.Referred
to as ciwujia in Chinese medicine, it was used to prevent
respiratory tract infections as well as colds and flu. It
was also believed to provide energy and vitality.In Russia,eleuthero
was originally used by people in the Siberian Taiga region
to increase per formance and quality of life. In more modern
times, eleuthero’s ability to increase stamina and endurance
led Soviet Olympic
athletes to use it to enhance their training.
Eleuthero has been shown to enhance mental acuity and physical
endurance without the letdown that comes with caffeinated
products.Research has shown that leuthero improves the use
of oxygen by the exercising muscle. This means that a person
is able to maintain aerobic exercise longer and recover from
workouts more quickly.
Ginkgo Biloba - Traceable
back 300 million years, the ginkgo is the oldest surviving
species of tree. Although it died out in Europe during the
Ice Age, ginkgo survived in China, Japan and other parts of
East Asia. It has been cultivated extensively for both ceremonial
and medical purposes, and some particularly revered trees
have been lovingly tended for over 1,000 years.
Presently, ginkgo is the most widely prescribed herb in Germany,
reaching a total prescription count of over 6 million in 1995.
Numerous studies have found that ginkgo extracts can improve
circulation.The herb appears to make the blood more fluid,
reduce the tendency toward blood clots, extend the life of
a natural blood vessel-relaxing substance, and act as An antioxidant.
Recent reports suggest that ginkgo may also be useful in reversing
the impotence caused by drugs in the Prozac family as well
as other types of antidepressant medications.
Nettle (Urtica Dioca)
- Nettle root contains numerous biologically active chemicals
that may influence the function of the prostate, interact
with sex hormones, slow the growth of prostate cells, fight
prostate cancer, and reduce inflammation.
Stinging nettle is an excellent way to treat Benign Prostatic
Hyperplasia (BPH) in men,which can be one of the causes of
impotence.
Vitamin B6 - Vitamin B6
is a water-soluble vitamin. It is also known by the names
pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxal. Vitamin B6 per forms
function as a cofactor for about 70 different enzyme systems
- most of which have something to do with amino acid and protein
metabolism. Because Vitamin B6 plays a central role the formation
of key several neurotransmitters, and the production of serotonin
, melatonin and dopamine, it is frequently recommended as
a nutrient to support mental function (mood) and nerve conduction.
Some athletic supplements include Vitamin B6 because of its
role in conversion of glycogen to glucose
for energy in muscle tissue.
Zinc - Zinc is essential
for metabolism,growth,sexual maturation and reproduction.In
men, zinc is highly concentrated in the prostate gland and
sperm. Zinc concentration
in seminal fluid is regarded as an excellent indicator of
prostatic function. Low zinc levels have been correlated with
delayed sexual maturation, lower testosterone levels and semen
quality, prostatitis (infections of the prostate gland) infertility
and sexual dysfunction.
