Herbs and Sex

Using herbs as sexual stimulants has been common practice for thousands of years. Although scientific data on whether or not these work is minimal, what is the harm in trying? Two common herbs have been thought to increase sexual desire and performance in both men and women-long jack root and horny goat weed.

Long jack root is an herbal root has been used in Malaysia for centuries. It is said to improve circulation, improve testosterone production, enhance your energy levels, reduce mental fatigue & exhaustion, and improve the immune system. Horny Goat Weed is an ancient Chinese herb sometimes called the “goat sex herb”. It is said that hundred of years ago, a farmer noticed incessant sexual behavior in his goats whenever they ate certain weeds. This weed was thus named horny goat weed. It’s androgen like effects are said to create enhanced sexual desire for both men and women and can also increase blood circulation. Research has shown that horny goat weed inhibits an enzyme which results in higher levels of neurotransmitters associated with sexual arousal. Research done by Steven Lamm, MD, on horny goat weed showed that men improved in sexual satisfaction and an increase in sexual desire. In the study 38 men were given a supplement containing horny goat weed for 45 days. 25 of them were healthy and the other 13 were already taking Viagra. The studied concluded that no matter if the men were already taking Viagra or not, the horny goat weed appeared to affect them in a positive way.
