Low Libido Causes and Cures

Low sex drive for men or women doesn't happen in isolation from the rest of the body. Chances are your lack of libido is caused by a combination of physical and psychological effects and one could be feeding into the other.  Repairing your overall health will make you feel more attractive, more energetic and more enthused about having sex. This can go a long way toward overcoming many psychological stumbling blocks.

The main causes of decreased sexual interest for both men and women is usually stress, anxiety and fatigue. There are just so many demands on the average couple these days (between work and family) that a lot of your energy can be sapped away from your love life. Feeling good about yourself and your health can improve this. Some supplements that can boost energy naturally and help elevate mood include Ashwagandha, or Indian Ginseng, which has long been recognized for it's ability to energize and rejuvenate. It can help minimize stress and relieve fatigue allowing you to feel more frisky.
Horny goat weed (yes, that's it's name) is another great supplement to boost energy naturally along with Tribulus Terrestris Extract. 

Low hormone levels can play a major role in decreased libido. Women can boost estrogen levels with supplements such as Dong Quai and Damiana. Damiana has been known to induce mild euphoria as well as helping to balance hormone levels.  Testosterone plays a key role in sexuality for both men and women so a drop in testosterone can have a definite impact on anyone's sex drive.  Mucuna Pruriens is a good herb to take to increase testosterone. The high levels of l-dopa in Mucuna Pruriens, which is converted to dopamine,  stimulates the release of testosterone in the body. Another herb, Tongkat Ali will also help boost testosterone naturally. Containing bioactive glygopeptide compounds, Tongkat Ali has been shown to increase free testosterone and decrease SHBG levels, which not only increases testosterone but for men helps with erections and performance. 

Lastly, another thing to consider if you're having problems with low sex drive is poor circulation. Although it seems obvious that vascular problems could interfere with our arousal response, it's something we may overlook.  Garlic supplements, vitamin E and Ginkgo Biloba are just a few of the well-known natural remedies to increase blood flow, lower blood pressure and aid in circulation.
