Sex herbs for men and women - Herbs for a Better Sex Drive by Ray Sahelian, M.D., author of Natural Sex Boosters

The pursuit of better sex with herbs has been an age-old quest with all the pseudo-science you could imagine, leading most scientists to dismiss sex herbs as folklore. There is a general suspicion in the modern Western mindset that natural compounds purported to enhance sexual passion or interest are barely, if at all, effective.
  
Most Westerners would be surprised to find out that there are dozens of natural herbal and nutritional sex herbs that enhance sexual drive and pleasure in both men and women, along with enhanced erections and more satisfying orgasms and climaxes—and some of them are quite powerful. These natural Sex herbs not only enhance libido, but they enhance most aspects of the human sexual response, particularly if they are used in combination. Many sex herbs, when used in combination, are almost as good as Viagra or other drugs in helping with erectile function and boosting sexual stamina and performance. Furthermore, sex herbs - many of them found in Passion Rx - can improve libido, sensation, power of orgasms and climaxes, which Viagra is not able to do. You now can have better sex with your wife, husband, or significant other - or yourself :)

Passion Rx supports and enhances healthy:

In recent years science has made breakthroughs in the understanding of sexual dysfunction. But, for hundreds of years, civilizations around the world have known about locally grown sex herbs that achieve wonderful results with far fewer side effects than prescription drugs. Now, renowned physician and herbal expert Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., author of Natural Sex Boosters, has discovered a combination of exotic sex herbs from the Amazon jungle, India, China, Malaysia, and Africa, that support healthy desire and performance, as well as to simply enhance sexual pleasure. Passion Rx provides a natural solution for those looking for an alternative to synthetic drugs.

The potent sex herbs in Passion Rx include ashwagandha, catuaba, cnidium monnieri, cistanches, coleus forskohlii, damiana, horny goat weed, maca, mucuna pruriens, muira puama, passion flower, pfaffia paniculata, rhodiola, shilajit, tribulus terrestris, and tongkat ali. There is a version of Passion Rx without yohimbe.

What about herbal sex boosters?
There are quite a number of herbs and nutrients that I consider to have aphrodisiac qualities. Some of my favorites sex herbs are included in Passion Rx. 
As medical science has given us a greater understanding of human sexuality and our own chemical processes that put us in the mood, research has uncovered how some well-known and not so well-known sex herbs actually work with our body chemistry to lead to arousal and excitement. Various substances of animal and plant origin have now been identified, allowing for testing and scientific understanding of their chemical composition and mechanisms of action.

Secrets of how to use sex herbs
It boggles my mind that most people in the Western world -- along with the media, most doctors and medical researchers -- are not aware of the potent effect of sex herbs. There are quite a number of sex herbs that are effective in enhancing sexuality in men and women, but you have to learn how to use them effectively. Sex herbs work slower than drugs and that may be one reason why some people think they don't work. As Americans we like a pill that gives an immediate effect and if we don't notice an effect within an hour or two we think it is a dud. Most sexual herbs take a few days for optimal effects, but there are some herbs or combinations that work quicker.
   Although Viagra and its cousins Cialis and Levitra work very well for erectile function, they have little effect on libido and no benefit regarding genital sensation. These drugs don't work that well in women. sex herbs generally are not as quick in terms of inducing an erection, but with time they can be as effective as the drugs. Most people prefer the overall sexual enhancement that comes from the herbs in terms of the whole package -- sensation, libido, intensity of orgasms, climaxes, lubrication, and erection. Sex herbs also have the advantage of causing fewer side effects.

How to Take Passion Rx with Yohimbe, or Individual Sex Herbs, Safely and Efficiently
Take the herbs in the morning at least a half hour before breakfast so they are absorbed well without food in the stomach. Some of the common sexual herbs are horny goat weed, tongkat ali and LJ100, mucuna pruriens, tribulus terrestris, catuaba, muira puama, maca, ashwagandha, and others. It is impossible to predict which one of the sex herbs or which combination will be effective for you unless you try it. If you buy more than one sex supplement, learn how each one works by itself before combining.

It is preferable to take these sex herbs every other day or 2 days on, 2 or more days off. You will likely notice the benefits even on the days you are not taking them since there is often a delayed response. Very important: These sex herbal products work better when you don't take them every day or take them for a few days and then be off for a few days.

Sex herbs have side effects, too, although less serious than the drugs. Common side effects from high doses of sex herbs include overstimulation, restlessness, insomnia, increased body temperature, headache, and rapid heart beat. If you get insomnia, skip a dose the next day. If you get insomnia it means the dose of the herb or the herbal product you took was too high, and next time you take it, try half or a third of the initial dose. If you feel increased body temperature, drink a glass or two of cold water.

Be patient. Most sex herbs take anywhere from 2 to several days to start working, except for a high dose of yohimbe which can work within an hour or two. Keep in mind that if you try to induce sexual enhancement quickly, you are likely to get more side effects. If you wish to minimize adverse effects, take smaller amounts and be patient. The impotence Drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra can work within an hour or two but they can potentially induce serious side effects, including vision loss and chest pain.

If you are taking a product for the very first time, Start with a small amount, even if it means opening the capsule and taking a portion.

It is best not to take other supplements, especially those of a stimulant nature, on the days that you are taking sexual herbs since restlessness, insomnia and overstimulation can occur. Avoid using the same day ginseng, St. John's wort, or other similar herbs, Eyesight Rx, hormones, SAM-e, and certain amino acids such as tyrosine. I also suggest you avoid drinking more than a cup of regular coffee and more than an ounce or two of wine.

Use caution if you are taking prescription medicines since sometimes the interactions between sex herbs and medicines is not predicable. It is best not to use antidepressant drugs the same day as these herbs. SSRI drugs such as Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft inhibit sexuality. 5-HTP, tryptophan and kava also inhibit sexual drive or decrease genital sensation.

Be extremely cautious using sex herbs if you have thyroid or other endocrine issues, a heart condition, a tendency for high blood pressure or heart rhythm abnormalities. Many of these sex herbs can stimulate heart contraction and if you are prone to heart problems you may have untoward reactions.

Although initially you may find that a high dose is required for you to notice something, with time a lesser dose becomes just as effective. Your dosage requirement may change with time.

If you find one particular sex product or herb is no longer effective, take a week off and then try another one.

What about spices?
There appears to be some research supporting certain spices as sex herbs. One study in rodents found nutmeg and clove to have mild aphrodisiac properties.

The FDA and sex herbs
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the reputed sexual effects of so-called sex herbs are based in folklore, not fact. In 1989, the agency declared that there is no scientific proof that any over-the-counter aphrodisiac sex herbs work to treat sexual dysfunction. Although the FDA has done a good job in many circumstances evaluating drug safety, we all recognize the FDA is not all-knowing. I believe that the FDA is not fully informed on the topic of sex herbs, or perhaps they have not had time to reevaluate the new research. There are quite a number of effective natural herbal sex herbs, and I am 100 percent convinced I will eventually be proven right.

Sex Herbs Research Update
There are dozens of sex herbs that are effective, here I present one study as an example.

Aphrodisiac properties of Montanoa tomentosa aqueous crude extract in male rats.
Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 2004 May;78(1):129-34.
Cihuapatli, the Mexican zoapatle (Montanoa tomentosa) has an extensive ethnomedical history of use as a traditional remedy for reproductive impairments and sex herbs. During the study of the ejaculatory function in rats and by testing a set of Mexican plants with medicinal properties, we observed that crude extracts of M. tomentosa facilitated ejaculation. Thus, we decided to analyze the possibility that this plant possessed sex herbs properties. To that aim, copulatory behavior of sexually active male rats receiving aqueous crude extract of Montanoa tomentosa, as it is prepared in traditional medicine, was assessed. Results showed that acute oral administration of crude extracts of Montanoa tomentosa facilitates expression of sexual behavior in sexually active male rats, significantly increases mounting behavior in genitally anesthetized animals and induces the expression of sexual behavior in noncopulating males. Present findings provide experimental evidence that the crude extract preparation of Montanoa tomentosa, used as a traditional remedy, possesses sex herbs properties.

There is no doubt that certain sex herbs lead to a better sex life. I am 100 percent convinced, says Ray Sahelian, M.D.

Better sex through yoga can also be achieved - the combination of yoga practice and taking sex herbs is quite powerful.

Sex herbs emails

   A. See penis enlargement for information.

Q. What are the best sex herbs?
   A. There are quite a number of sex herbs that are effective, some are gentler such as ashwagandha and muira puama, others are potent such as tongkat ali. Each person will have their own list of best sex herbs based on trial and error to see which ones work best for them.

Q. Can you tell me a couple of Chinese sex herbs?
   A. Two Chinese sex herbs that come to mind are cnidium and ginkgo.

Q. What do you think of the product Nasutra that has sex herbs in it?
     A. I have not personally tried Nasutra. The FDA has issued a warning on Nasutra.

Q. I took a sexual product called Vigorelle and did not notice an effect. Does Vigorelle work? The website that promotes Vigorelle says it is the number one pick.
   A. There are several so called sexual product review sites on the internet that make it appear that they are independent but are actually a front for the company that sells the top listed product. In the case of Vigorelle, we have not tested this product ourselves.

Q. I came across an internet report on Fever Stimulation Beverage. I trust your opinion and hope you can say whether Fever Stimulation Beverage is safe to consume since it has sex herbs.
   A. We prefer to not comment on products we have not used ourselves. At this time we have not used Fever Stimulation Beverage. The sex herbs in this product appear to be horny goat weed, clavo huasca, suma, panax ginseng, catuaba, damiana, and maca. Fever Stimulation Beverage also has caffeine. Since we can't find the amounts of the ingredients in this product on their website, it is difficult to say how potent it is or whether is has side effects.

Q. Would you rate the sex herb products potency formulated by Dr. Ray Sahelian versus other sex herb products on the market?
   A. This is too broad a question to answer accurately. There are thousands of different sex herb products on the market and we don't keep track of them. I formulate the sexual herb products based on my research and experience. However, when it comes to sexual herbs, one has to be careful since they have side effects and too high a dose or taking a sex herb that is too potent can lead to heart problems, insomnia, high body temperature, and other undesirable effects.

Q. I have experimented with that various sex herbs. Yohimbe, tongat ali, ashwagandha, maca, damiana, tribulus, muira puama, horney goat weed, mucuna puriens. Eventually I developed an aching in my muscles. It would come in streaks, lasting for 8-16 hours, then go away. I stopped all of the herbs and it stopped, but my back muscles still felt tingly. I used a “body cleanse” called “The Perfect Cleanse” and I feel fine. Have you ever heard of this reaction to these sex herbs? My local doctors have NO experience in this matter. If you have heard of this, did I overdose? I used some sex herbs for 2 days, then I switched to others, so that I did not use anything for more than 2 days in a row. I kept alternating the dosages.
   A. There is much yet to learn about the side effects of sex herbs. It is difficult to say which sex herb, or what combination, was responsible for your symptoms. We have not had reports of such muscle aches yet with the use of sex herbs but then again we don't know many people who have used so many of them. The best option is to take a month off from all these sex herbs and then when they are reintroduced to do so in a lower dosage and to take more time off and more frequent breaks.
