Natural remedies to increase your sexual desire

Would you like to improve your sexual relationship with your partner? Do you want to increase your sexual desire ? You want to know some natural remedies that work and do not endanger your health and, on the other hand, which itself can be dangerous to your health? In life and health, you have to fully enjoy your sex.

I often get letters from readers with questions about sexual health issues. Many want to give vitality to their relationships. Others want to know if the products are sold "as Viagra" that are counter herbs work like that sold by prescription. Women want to know if there is an equivalent of Viagra for women. This column is in response to several of these questions.

To begin with, in the relationships the emotional part is as important as the physical part for that fire is turned on. Many times it is necessary to improve that communication out of bed to improve in bed. Remember that the brain is also involved in sex. What you think and imagine in your mind has much to do. You have to do your part, be creative (a) plans different, fun things, make sure they are things that you share with your partner and he or she enjoys too.

Create the right atmosphere and be sure to take the time necessary. Remember that women take longer than men to be ready before penetration . There are times when it is better to wait: if one of us is too tired or too stressed, for example.

We know that there is no real scientific basis for the aphrodisiac foods , but it can be fun. And, if you work as a placebo, these are not going to hurt you . One of the definitions of placebo I found is "a sham treatment, which improves the condition of the person simply because the person has the expectation that it will help. And the more you think it will help, more help you. "But use caution with alcoholic beverages. These can take your inhibitions at first but if you can surpass your limit or prevent sexual functioning.

Of course, we are talking about improving a relationship where there are no impediments from the physical point of view. If someone really has difficulty getting an erection , it is essential that you visit your doctor because it could be a sign that you have a medical problem such as decreased blood flow to the male organ and perhaps try a cardiovascular problem, of hypertension or diabetes that is manifesting in erectile dysfunction as the first symptom. Whether you need or choose to take Viagra, Cialis or Levitra or not, it is important to review it . Is different want to increase the passion to have a physical problem.

In the case of a woman, if the problem is having pain during intercourse and is a recent phenomenon , it is important that the review also to rule that will not have an infection or not it's something hormonal where the lack of lubrication is contributing to their lack of sexual interest.

And of course, there is the possibility that certain medicines or supplements can have side effects that reduce sexual desire and this should talk to the doctor too.

But there are certain things I would like to share regarding alternative treatments which have been scientific studies and we have information:

1. Ginkgo

This supplement has also shown increase blood flow to the penis. If you are taking antidepressants, and have sexual side effects, could improve. Check with your doctor before taking it. However, Ginkgo may also increase bleeding and is contraindicated in people taking blood thinners.

2. Pelvic muscle exercises  

This type of exercise that is recommended for women: Kegel exercises. These consist tighten the muscles of the vagina, for five seconds, as if you were trying to hold the urge to urinate. Repeat this exercise several times a day and observe the results in the ability to feel pleasure when having sex.

3. What you should not do

They have also appeared natural products that help improve sexual performance but of which there is insufficient scientific evidence. A specific case is Yohimbe, an African plant that are attributed good results, but which is also known to increase heart rate and blood pressure.

By the way, not all supplements you get on the market that is sold over the counter are purely natural. Found products that call themselves "natural" but actually contain high levels of pesticides. Unfortunately, at this time there is no agency that regulates as the Food and Drug Administration US (FDA, for its initials in English) regulates prescription drugs and what the label says it is not 100% reliable.

If you have decreased your libido or have a lack of sexual desire and do not understand why, consult your doctor. Sometimes it may be a physical cause that can be corrected, if discarded something physical, he or she can guide you. Sometimes counseling psychologist or therapist can be very helpful. And remember that while some herbs and supplements can help, others may be harmful to your health. So learn and enjoy your sexuality with your partner.
