1) Maidenhair Tree for an increased desire

You can find this great plant in pharmacies or online. Its strength lies in its intervention on the nerve signals of the brain. It promotes the metabolism of three brain chemical messengers, including dopamine and nor-adrenaline, which increase desire. It is therefore recommended for women and men. It also acts on acetylcholine which stimulates the excitement of the penis so it can help men who have erection problems. It can’t be used for women who are breast-feeding or who are pregnant.

2)Oysters for a better testosterone

Zinc is a trace element that men lose with each ejaculation and this item is important for testosterone. Oysters contain a lot of zinc and can prevent zinc deficiency (and therefore the drop in libido). 3 to 4 oysters are sufficient per day for a sufficient supply of zinc. You find them in supermarkets. Alternatively, you can search in pharmacies if you want dietary supplements (zinc gluconate or zinc citrate), but do not forget to take the doses because an overdose can have the opposite effect. Another less expensive solution: 2 to 3 tablespoons of wheat germ for a month to fill zinc deficiencies.

3) Passionflower for senses

Passionflower blue or passiflora coerulea is rich in chrysin. Chrysin increases testosterone levels and limits testosterone loss in men who age and increase sexual arousal. It is therefore only suitable for men.

4) Ginseng for better erections

This plant causes a better influx of blood into the penis and thus the erections are improved. Go for Panax ginseng if possible (it comes from northern China), as American or Siberian ginseng are less active. You can find capsules to be taken at the time of the meal in pharmacies and organic stores.

5) Arginine to promote the excitement of men and women

In organic stores and pharmacies, you will find arginine capsules that has a little known power to promote excitement and erections (by dilating the vessels and improving the flow of blood to the sex). A US study of 93 women found a significant improvement in libido in 1 month for 62% of them. The tablets can be taken at bedtime for 1 or 2 months. They are not recommended for those who suffer with asthma, cirrhosis, herpes, kidney failure and heart problems.
