Low Sex Drive / Libido Natural Remedies and Cures


Natural Remedies and Vitamins & Minerals for Low Libido - Aphrodisiac

Here are some good tips for increasing sex drive. Make sure you support your general health. Consider taking a high-potency multivitamin supplement daily. Herbs and supplements do not replace your need to get enough sleep! Nor are supplements going to help if you continue to smoke.

We do recommend trying natural remedies for treating and possibly curing low sex drive as a first step. Many of these herbs work as an aphrodisiac by boosting the testosterone levels in both men and women.

It is best to avoid herbs that may increase estrogen productions. These include:
  • dong quai
  • hops
  • licorice
  • soy isoflavones
  • willow bark
  • fennel
Below is a quick summary of home herbal remedies, vitamins and minerals that have been used to help treat reduced libido. The natural remedies with our Leaf Rating System logo have been reviewed in detail along with effectiveness ratings.

The smell of the spice (e.g. hot cinnamon buns) increases blood flow to the penis more than any other aromas. This study was conducted at the Smell and Taste Research Foundation in Chicago.

Dose: Considering using cinammon oil essential oil aromatherapy.

Acetyl-L-carnitine
and
Propionyl-L-Carnitine
Helpful

Carnitine has been shown in research studies to increase testosterone levels in older men. It appears as effective as taking testosterone.

Taking this supplement for 6 months enhanced sexual function and reduced depression and fatigue.

It also has been used in treating male infertility by enhancing the function of the sperm.

Typical dosage is 1 to 2 grams taken once daily. Higher dose of up to 2 grams twice daily has been used in research studies with minimal side effects.

Passionflower Helpful

Experts believe that passionflower act as a mild sedative for treating anxiety without reducing sex drive. (See chrysin above.)

Side effects include dizziness and confusion.

Dose: Suggested dosage is 250 mg to 2 grams of the dried above ground parts taken up to three times daily. As a tea, boil the above amount in 150 mL of water, strain and drink the liquid three times daily.
 
Guarana Helpful

This Amazonian herb is traditionally used by millions of Brazilians (and US citizens) to fight fatigue, increase mental alertness, suppress appetite, increase sex drive, slow down premature aging and as a blood purifier. This herb contains a lot of caffeine (up to 8 percent).

Side effects include insomnia, nervousness and tremors, as would be expected from symptoms of taking too much caffeine.

Ashwagandha Helpful

Ashwagandha is an herb that's been used in India for more than 3,000 years as an all-around health enhancer and as a mild sedative. Research shows that ashwagandha has an aphrodisiac effect and improves sexual performance.

Avoid taking this herb with alcohol, sedatives or during pregnancy.

Dose: Dosage is typically 1 to 6 grams daily of the whole herb in a capsule format. As a tea, boil for 15 minutes and let it cool. Drink 3 cups daily.

Schisandra Helpful

This herb dates back 5,000 years in Chinese medicine. The berries of this plant used as an adaptogen to prevent cancer, increase physical, mental and sexual performance.

Dose: Typical dose used is 500 mg to 2 grams daily of the extract. Or boil 5 to 15 grams of the crude berry and drink as a tea once daily.

Stinging Nettle Root Helpful

Experts believe that stinging nettle root is able to keep testosterone longer in the active form that our body can readily use. This can benefit both men and women alike.

Dose: Typical dosage is 500 mg to 1 gram of the root taken three times daily.

Sarsaparilla Helpful

Sarsaparilla is traditionally used by bodybuilders for its anabolic effect. Expert believes it acts as an aphrodisiac.

Dose: Typical dosage is 1 to 4 grams of the root in capsule format. Or simmer in 150 mL of water for 10 to 15 minutes, strain and drink.

Star anise Helpful

Experts believe star anise helps with reduced libido in women suffering from depression.

Usage: Put 1-2 whole star anise with a regular tea bag, boil and strain.  Sweeten to taste and drink up to three times daily.

Zinc Helpful

Clinical studies show that zinc deficiency reduces blood levels of testosterone, thus possibly lower libido. Also a low level of zinc reduces male fertility as infertile males show a reduced level of zinc in the seminal fluids.

Dose: Typical dose to take is 10 to 50 mg of zinc daily.

B vitamins B vitamins are used by your body to help you manage stress and to regulate your hormone levels.

Dose: Take a B-complex vitamin so that you get all your B vitamins. Take this daily.

L-tyrosine Tyrosine increases dopamine levels in the brain. This is suspect to boost the sex drive and reduce fatigue.

Dose: Take 100 to 500 mg of L-tyrosine daily.
