Most of the studies and research on aphrodisiacs have been done involving men and these compounds. I do not find that surprising at all There are a few herbs that can increase libido, energy, and arousal in both men and women, without scientists knowing for sure what the exact mechanisms behind them are.
The amino acid arginine has been proven to help with erectile dysfunction, but some studies suggest it may also improve sexual satisfaction in both men and women. Arginine is a hormone precursor as well as a building block for nitric oxide. It also increases blood flow. It is a natural viagra or cialis I rather use the precursor to arginine which is citrulline
There are many herbs that have been used for an aphrodisiac. These are honrey goat weed, damiana and tribulus. Puncture vine or Bindii (Tribulus terrestris) leaves and flowers. A small study found there may be aphrodisiac effects in both men and women, although it doesn’t seem to be from an increase in testosterone, but rather from the steroidal glycoside saponins furostanol and spirostanol. I have used this herb with success in both men and women.
Another herb I have used is Maca ( Lepidium meyenii) root is one of the few plants that have been tested on both men and women, with varying results. It seems to be effective against the phycological impacts of sexual dysfunction in men and women, such as depression and anxiety, and it might also increase fertility.
I feel we do not know all the mechanism of these herbs acting as an aphrodisiac. I will say that different combinations work for different individuals. I have used many herbs combined with success.
For those that like technology there is the Alma Duo technology. This is a low level shock wave treatment ( benign to the patient ) to increase blood flow. We have been successful with the protol which is two treatments /per week x 3 weeks.
Until tomorrow…
