Herbal Virility and Depression

Herbal Virility, Herbal Supplement for Depression

More than 20 million adults in America suffer from depression. While many sufferers choose to treat their disease with prescriptions and just live with the side effect, more and more are choosing herbal remedies for virility in men. With fewer side effects and the ability to treat problems beyond depression, it’s no wonder that in some markets the herbal supplements actually outsell traditional medicine.

Herbal Depression Treatments

St. John’s Wort is the leading herbal treatment of depression. St. John’s Wort works by boosting serotonin levels in the brain resulting in lifted spirits, fewer and less severe feelings of depression.

SAMe is a natural chemical found in cells of the human body and can be as effective as prescription antidepressant pills in proper doses. It works by increasing neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine.

Ginkgo biloba improves blood flow and has been shown to help people replace mental sharpness and improve general mood.

Kava has been known to create a feeling of relaxation and contentment. Muscle tenseness lessens without a numb feeling of being drugged or decreased mental alertness.

Treatments for Lack of Virility and other Side Effects

In addition to a general “blue” or “down” feeling, depression is known to cause many side effects. It’s often necessary to treat these side effect in addition to the underlying depression. One of the most detrimental side effects, especially for male sufferers, is lack of virility or impotency.

Damiana has long been used to treat the the nervous, hormonal, and reproductive systems. It is thought to be an aphrodisiac. Available in pill form or as tea, it often relaxes the consumer and helps increase stimulation to reproductive organs.

Tribulus terrestris is another herbal treatment for sexual dysfunction. It increases blood flowing to the groin area as well as, in clinical studies, prostate weight. It’s thought it also increases testosterone production.

Avena sativa has been rumored to be a sexual nerve tonic but studies and scientific reports have disputed this claim.

Valerian Root helps ease insomnia, often associated with depression.

Ginseng is often used to help the body resist stress, making it easier for the patient to manage daily activities that can trigger depression. In ancient times it was thought to be an aphrodisiac.

Ginkgo biloba, with it’s increased blood flow properties and general mood enhancement, is sometimes used to naturally treat impotency and lack of virility.

Side Effects of Herbal Remedies

St. John’s Wort has been known to cause an increased sunlight sensitivity. Dry mouth, dizziness, headache and sexual dysfunction are some of the reported side effects. St. John’s Wort can slow down or speed up how fast other drugs are broken down and absorbed into the patient. Specific drug interactions are known with prescription antidepressants, birth control pills, anticoagulants, cancer medications, HIV infection control pills and transplant rejection drugs.

SAMe, unless taken in very high doses, have no known side effects. Patients taking large doses report mild stomach upset for a short amount of time.

Ginkgo biloba can cause headaches, gastric discomfort, bleeding in those with clotting disorders, nausea and vomiting. Ginkgo biloba should not be taken by women who are pregnant.

Kava kava supplementation causes mild side effects including mild gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches and dizziness in patients that take small to medium doses. Those that take more than 2000 mg of kava kava per day, over long periods of time, may be susceptible to liver damage.

Damiana can affect blood sugar levels. For this reason, it is important that diabetics and hypoglycemics, or any patient taking a prescription blood sugar or insulin level altering medication keep close tabs on their levels.

Tribulus terrestris has no known side effects.

Avena sativa has no known side effects.

Valerian root has few side effects. These include a mild diuretic effect, causing a patient to possibly wake up during the night to urinate and those taking valerian root over a long period my experience headaches.

Ginseng is a mild stimulant and can cause nervousness, euphoria or restlessness. It can also cause diarrhea, vomiting and nosebleeds.

Penis Enlargement Pills vs. Patches

As the male enhancement and the penis enlargement markets expand and become more and more mainstream and plentiful, savvy men are taking notice of the possibilities now open to them by these new male enhancement products. But, as with any other somewhat major purchase and self-improvement hope, most men wonder, which product to choose? 

The average new customer does not have a good grasp on how penis enlargement and sexual enhancement products work. To this end, lots of men find themselves comparing men’s sexual products they have never heard of and trying to decide which one is better, without “really” knowing if they’re being fed a line of bull or not. A perfect example of this consumer confusion is the differences between penis enlargement pills and penis enlargement patches.

The biggest differences between these two popular forms of men’s sexual enhancement products is the means by which the active ingredients are delivered as well as the formulas within them and how they act in your body. There has not been any significant evidence or studies showing that one works better than the other, by the way.

As everybody knows, any type of pill works by being dissolved and digested in the stomach, and entering the blood stream from there, where it carries out it’s designated function in the man’s body.

Once the stomach acids eats the capsule or pill apart, the substances pass through the liver and into the blood stream and start doing their work. In order for these penis pills to be active they must be consumed at designated intervals throughout the day, such as twice a day, once with breakfast, once with dinner, or whatever the maker has assigned as your scheduled timing.

The penis enlargement patch, however, works by delivering the active ingredients through the skin, which then is delivered “transdermally”, or through the skin, directly going into the blood stream. Thus, it has been assumed that the substances avoid some of the processing that occurs in the stomach and liver.

This just gives the penis enlargement patch a slight advantage over a penis enlargement pill, in that it does not have to be remembered a couple times a day, as usually the patches are changed once every two to three days.  The delivery may also be a bit more consistent with a patch, and is ideal for those of you that may forget to take pills a couple times a day, or just hate to take pills for whatever reason.

Drlizen and Solidilin : A Discussion

The ingredients mentioned in the title of this post are actually two formulas that are the method behind some of the most successful products in the penis enlargement arena. In fact,  these are the very ingredients that make a male enhancement pill or patch work effectively, it just depends on the quality of the product and the actual solution of this ingredient that is infused in the supplements or formulas taken.

These naturally derived substances are normally chosen after extensive research of their effects on the human body and must be of the highest quality if they are to do their intended job in the male body, and on the penis.

The effectiveness of any such product is always based on the quality of its ingredients, especially since it is natural or herbal in nature. For instance, ProSolution Pills, which is a penis enlargement product, and VolumePills, which are a “semen volume booster”, are both made of a list of natural ingredients, some of them herbal and some not.

The two most abundant ingredients for the above-mentioned products are called Drilizen and Solidilin. While they are both completely natural, these two substances are trademarked names designed to protect the formula behind ProSolution Pills and VolumePills.

The function of Drilizen is to increase the body’s release of nitric oxide, which is a naturally produced substance that promotes the dilation of blood vessels which equals faster, longer and harder erections. 

The nitric oxide also relaxes the smooth muscle that allows the blood to flow into the penis and fill the two sponge-like tissues called Corpora Cavernosa. Drilizen also contains an active ingredient called protodioscin, which helps increase the secretion of a hormone that regulates the production of testosterone by the body.

Solidilin is a compound made of substances that actually have an effect upon the psychological part of sex - which, as we all know has a huge impact on our sexual performance as men.

While Drilizen, Zinc, Taj and Momordica take care of the physical side, Solidilin, Reishi Mushrooms and Musli make sure that the motivation grows and pleasure follows. One of the substances that make up Solidilin was found to dramatically improve sexual motivation (desire and instantaneous longing for sex) and the quality of sex.

The study was conducted by the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences belonging to the University of Sciences, Malaysia. Solidilin also contains L-Dopa, the substance used by the body to synthesize dopamine. For those who do not know this, dopamine is a neurotransmitter heavily involved with the sense of pleasure humans feel after engaging in naturally rewarding activities, like having sex, eating food or taking recreational drugs.

Drilizen and Solidilin play a very important role in helping increase penis size and the frequency and quality of sex. Acting on both the physical and psychological fronts, these substances combine with the other ingredients of ProSolution Pills and VolumePills to deliver a safe and effective way of increasing penis size and sexual pleasure.

Magna RX? What is It?

So I was just reading this magazine, which shall remain nameless, but I’m pretty sure this ad shows up in almost all Men’s Magazines, for a sexual enhancement product called Magna RX. 

It’s got a cheesy picture of a buff, obviously tanning booth fakeo tanned guy with something that looks like a banana stuffed into his boxer briefs, about to get it on with some hot bottled blond in a short dress.  Typical back of the magazine stuff, you know….

Anways, this Magna RX stuff is a penil enhancement system that is supposed to add “massive, pulsating and explosive pure manhood” to satisfy your lovers. 

It looks like it consists of a natural formula of some sort, that is taken orally, as well as a topically applied “love potion” lol I made that up, sorry, but yes it does come with some sort of a topically applied lotion or oil of some kind.

Just checking to see if anyone’s heard of it, because I haven’t seen anything about it working well, and I’d think after I’ve looked at this stuff for ions, I’d have heard of it if it was making a real splash in the realm of penile enlargement or sexual enhancement.

Any commenters, please let me know, I’d love a review on it.  As long as it’s not pure spam, I’ll approve any reviews of this product on this magazine.

Natural Aphrodisiacs - Herbs that Help to Increase Sex Drive

There are several herbs that, when taken together, have been demonstrated to have a fairly singnificant effect on male and female sex drive. Let’s examine what they are:

1. Damiana

2. Passion Flower (what a coincidence!)

3. Horny Goat Weed (wow - another coincidence!)

4. The Catuaba and Muirapuama plants of the Amazon Forest - especially potent to restore sex drive and help cure male impotence when used together

5. Guarana - probably mostly because this is an overall stimulant and energizer, it can be used in combination with other ingredients like the ones above supposedly to increase overall sexual function and help heighten the pleasure of a sexual experience.

Bottom line is, more men and women are turning to supplementation to improve their sexual health and their sex life. Sex is a great outlet for stress, and is just a human craving that everyone has - it’s only natural to feel somewhat detached and more stressed when your sex life is not as active.

Usually an active sex life proves to be revitalizing through all parts of one’s life, and tends to make the stressors in life a little easier.

The causes for a diminished sex drive, or libido, are fairly numerous, and are gaining more attention as this world becomes a higher stress place to live for both men and women. Some of the causes for decreased sexual function in men and women are:

1. Phsychological (stress, conflict, depression, anxiety, etc.)

2. Related to a medical or biological condition

3. Hormonal

4. Nerve related (ie nerve damage)

Can These Multiple Orgasm Formulas Help you Achieve Greater Pleasure in Oral Sex?

There are some great herbal pleasure enhancement formulas that claim to increase your pleasure and overall orgasm experience during sexual intercourse. So, does this same principle apply to oral sex? You bet it does! Perhaps even more intense than sexual intercourse, as a matter of fact.

Reports have been that when oral sex is received after taking a supplement (and it has kicked in - depending on the individual, this varies, but most men report feeling ready to have sex within one hour of taking the remedy), most men get harder, prolong the time to orgasm, and have a much more intense orgasm when they do ejaculate. They can really take you to new heights of sexual satisfaction, and this type of release has been shown to have an overall beneficial effect on your mental and physical health, energy levels, and feelings of peace and calm.

More to come on the effects of these formulas to enhance orgasm during actual sexual intercourse.

V-Fuel Review

I wanted to take this time to review a male enhancement product called V-Fuel.  We all know that natural and herbal male enhancement products are usually designed to have slightly different approaches.  The slogan for the product is “Increase your size and your power”, which is precisely what the male enhancement product does, according to users. 

In other words, one might improve your sexual stamina, while another is specifically targeted to making your penis bigger, sustaining a fuller and longer erection to satisfy your lover, and some may be targeted to simply allow you to get an erection, or get turned on more easily.

Oh yes, and we can’t forget about the ones, such as Deer Antlers Plus that are targeted to giving more intense and frequent orgasms.  Or Natural Gain Plus or Size Genetics, which is specifically targeted for men who want their penises to show substantial improvement in size. 

Now, for V-Fuel, I would like to tell you a little bit about what this product purports to do for your sex life, and in which ways it acts to do that.  The V-Fuel all natural male enhancement pill does the following :
1.)  Makes your erection larger, thicker and fuller.

2.)  Helps you last longer, men report significantly improved premature ejaculation.

3.)  Women like this product - most of the female partners of the men who have taken this supplement report that they have noticed a substantial difference in their lovemaking, and their partners confidence, which plays a HUGE part in the satisfaction of a sexual experience, for either partner, whatever sex they are.

The product focuses on using natural ingredients of a high potency, which are known as the aphrodisiacs of the natural world.  Significant sexual improvement is attained the longer the man stays on the product, with incidents of premature ejaculation, or “too short” of sexual episodes reducing significantly with the longer use. 

Men also report they sustain a very good level of growth in fullness and thickness of the penis over longer periods of treatment on this product, which is why we think it’s worth a look into, if nothing else.

Here are a few testimonials for the V-Fuel product :

“I was skeptical at first but after using the pills for 3 or 4 months I can truthfully say that I have a consistant true about inch and a half growth in length in the soft state and with a little bit of increased thickness. I am very happy!”

“My fiance bought me the V Fuel Pills and they were the best thing that I’ve ever taken. I can’t afford to get another bottle of them but for the one month supply that I had it worked better any other products I have tried from the store. I just wanted to give a thumbs up to the V Fuel pill and hopefully I can make enough money to buy some more. Thank you.”

“Recently tried your V Fuel Pills and it was unbelievable how much longer I was able to last and I was extremely satisfied with your product. I just wanted to thank you guys and I hope you keep this product on the market for years to come.”

Improve Libido and Impotence

Although a decreased libido is an affliction that most commonly effects women, men are making more and more complaints about this condition, perhaps to a changing society where spare time is becoming more and more scarce, and both women and men are just quite frankly strapped for time and sapped of extra energy to create any fantastic sparks in the bedroom.

With men, often a low libido and impotence go hand in hand, but there are ways to improve both your libido and the problem of impotence all in one,naturally. Men often turn to Viagra and the likes of this common and (in my opinion)over-prescribed impotence and libido improving drug, and actually may be even putting their health and well being in jeopardy all in the name of saving a relationship or their self esteem, both of which can be severely damaged by lack of libido and impotence.

Let’s face it, we are all sexual creatures, and we all crave intimacy, and we should crave it fairly often - the problem is, many of us don’t - this is what has been the breaking point of many relationships since everyone wants to feel desired, loved and sexual all at the same time - and these feelings all go HAND IN HAND.

The supplements for male enhancement recommended in the links above in this weblog forum are all excellent for targeting both your sexdrive, your longevity in bed, and any problems with getting or maintaining an erection all at once.

It is actually a libido enhancer that also greatly improves impotence by helping you get AND maintain an erection, as well as improving libido. Most men who take this natural supplement report a substantial improvement in their libido as well as less occurrences of impotence - and many times NO occurrences of impotence.

And, over time, the results just keep getting better and better and the natural ingredients sustain themselves in the body due to repeat treatment, and take control of your sexual function,making for an overall great improvement to your libido and impotence issues.

Herbal Male Enhancement : The Beginnings Part 1

I found this incredibly interesting article by Asif Rafiq here http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_2-9-2002_pg6_14

I’ve decided to split it into a few parts due to the length, but what it deals with is historically proven herbs which enhance male sexuality in different ways. Enjoy!

Finding herbal remedies for male health problems By Dr Asif Rafiq

It’s a common knowledge that normal sexual response in men and women begins in the presence of sexually oriented stimulation. When the mood is right,the body responds by releasing a cascade of chemicals that direct the flow of blood into the sexual organs. As a result of this, certain messenger enzymes are released which areresponsible for the controlling of relevant muscles during the whole sexualactivity.

Any condition that interferes with the signaling of these messenger enzymes can quickly lead to the breakdown of the entire process and cause impotence. This interruption in proper functioning of the sexual organs is curable but what is to be kept in mind is that this cure is notat the cost of overall health of the patient. According to renowned sexologists and urologists, impotence, or erectile dysfunction, is defined as the inability to attain or sustain a level whichends in sexual intercourse.

It usually has a physical cause, such as disease, injury, or drug side effects. Any disorder that impairs blood flow to the reproductive system has the potential to cause impotence. It occurs as men age: about five percent of men at the age of forty, and between fifteen and twenty five percent of men at the age of sixty-five experience impotence. Yet impotence is not an inevitable part of aging. Sexologists identify certain allopathic as well as herbal/natural remedies for impotence. To follow are details about some of the most popular drugs, herbs and shrubs used for the purpose along with their side effects, if any.
