Sexual health and wellness are intertwined, so anyone cannot be isolated from the other. There are factors that are able to enhance our libido, stabilize it, or cause problems with our sex drive.

Certain foods & herbs, as well, can positively or negatively affect our mood and lead to dysfunction in other areas, as well.

There are natural herbs that have significant effects on the body and will be effective for anyone interested in taking them- allowing them to have increased stamina, increased sex drive, and improved erections.

Hormonal imbalance or androgens is a known factor that can reduce libido.

Estrogen is considered to be the female hormone while androgens are known as male hormones because they are produced in males.

This is the first sign I experienced that alerted me to something was off: Xeno-estrogens!

They are hormone mimickers, pollutants that can disrupt your endocrine system. Once they bind with your hormone receptors, they may lead to an imbalance in your endocrine system. The endocrine system is what balances with your own hormones.

If there is an excess in these artificial estrogens in the body, they can block, or imbalance the hormone that drives us and we all have: TESTOSTERONE

Plant-based estrogens (phytoestrogens) may have an adverse effect on your body's ability to produce a response to its powerful sexual drives.

Soy is considered the "wonder" food, right?

How any company or corporation or any medical system could endorse such food or supplement, knowing it can cause major side effects, is baffling to me.

Obviously, this (soy), does not appear to be in the best interest of either men or women.

Here's some food for thought: Consuming 30 grams of soy isolate protein is equivalent to taking 5 birth control pills! Imagine what will happen to a young girl if she consumes this (soy), or to a young lady.

Girls may experience precocious maturation of their reproductive system, leading to, for example, early-onset osteoporosis. Liver, thyroid, and pancreas malfunction, for example, might be issued in women whose menstruation began early.

You might start to understand now, why you have a hard time keeping your weight down.

Men experience serious delays or disruptions in the maturation of their reproductive organs as well as feminine physical traits. There is also a decreased interest in sexual intercourse and, more specifically, erectile problems.

Males with excess estrogen have definitely been found to have issues with prostate inflammation, and it seems that with higher estrogen levels also comes lesser performance.

And what about middle-aged women who suffer from hot flashes, mood swings, and irritable attitudes? Honestly, this doesn't make for a fun time.

As we just saw, chemicals in foods and environmental factors can bring you down.

Let's now see what brings you up.

Men and women both need testosterone, so let's take a look at what is giving it to them.

Tribulus is an herb that contains Protodioscin, and this should be included in the supplement; If it is not specified or if the herb is not harvested in the spring, the chances of it improving your libido will be very minimal. (Tribulus extract you can get here*)

LONGFAT EURYCOMA, or TONGAT ALI*, is an ancient herb recently available on the market. Its origin is from Malaysia. It elevates testosterone, but this takes time, up to a month, for males and females. IT WORKS FOR MALE OR FEMALE BODIES.

Another thing that can stimulate or balance hormones would be pregnenolone, zinc*, and vitamin D*.

Because this hormone starts the whole thing, this could be something else you might want to add to your regimen.

You could say there are other aspects to the way things work.

Arginine is included in that list, along with Ornithine* and Citrulline*; all of these assist in improved blood flow.

There is Ginkgo, Wheat Germ Oil, which has a high amount of Vitamin E* and octacosanol, which both assists reproductive organs of both men and women, Vitamin E, Olive Oil, Siberian Ginseng for men and women, Vitamin B5* and Arginine*, and Zinc* for both men and women.

Other herbs can be, for example, SHILAJIT from India or MUIRA PURMA from South America. Or a combination of both.

Originally called mead in historical times, bees pollen and honey were given to newlyweds a week before the wedding to ensure offspring. Herbalists sometimes prescribe savory tea to assist with pregnancy. When an elderly couple was having trouble getting pregnant, a local herbalist suggested savory tea and massage with savory as well. Needless to say, they had no more problems.

Satureja montana (winter savory) is a medicinal plant traditionally used to treat different disorders including male sexual dysfunction.

The sorts of foods that assist the cardiovascular system are a good idea, too. They include hawthorn berries, magnesium, potassium*, Celtic Sea salt, wine, folic acid with B12* and B6*, taurine, L-carnitine*, garlic, and CQ10*.

A good men's regime should include vitamin E (not from soy), selenium 200μg, and zinc* as support for the whole reproductive system.

Consider also the following:

Nowadays, there are also things to regulate sugar levels like insulin which causes the sexual drive to diminish in people with diabetes, as well as affects concentration, mood, memory, digestion, weight, and several other things.

As always, remember that diets high in sugar will hinder performance or abilities to perform, especially for those with diabetes.

This is an Ayurvedic concept to improve your libido drive.

Combine raw or unpasteurized honey (1-2 tablespoons) with cinnamon.

Consume this mix on a daily basis and the result with appear.

Women might want to try an ancient recipe with a minor adjustment.

Take and mix cocoa, vanilla, and a 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and you will add 100mg of Vitamin B3*.

Make a mixing of the first three ingredients.

Take about half of it.

Sweeten if necessary and take the Vitamin B3*.

Wait 20 mins before you engage and ... enjoy

In excess, alcohol will cause anyone to be shut down. If you believe you can drink yourself to total incoherence and perform erotically, then you are severely delusional.

In excess, alcohol disconnects the brain and it disconnects everything. 

Drugs...If a legal or not, it does have a negative effect, as they usually do.

What's more, if you're not healthy to begin with, your immune system will come in second and slow your progress, as your body concentrates on balancing your health rather than performing more high-intensity activities.

What this means for reproductive parts in question, is that their priorities will become less urgent and lower down on the list of considerations, after the essentials of keeping your life in balance are covered.

Your performance anxiety can keep you on the sidelines, so take a deep breath, relax and just "go with the flow". Once you are on the "happy side" of things, things can be much simpler and resolve themselves.

Men feel a little happier when they make women happy, and what's a more surefire way to make a woman happy than with some chocolate or wine? or both?

Red wine and chocolate affect the pleasure gland (the pea gland that releases pleasure endorphins).

Of course, if your female partners are allergic to either of these due to tyramine, which can give them migraines, better avoid them.

You will have to find out what releases endorphins for her and put your effort there!  

Treat each other like you would a best friend... your best friend would make you happy.

So, be a best friend to your friends and let nature take its course. You will definitely enjoy that.
