The Top 5 Natural
Ways to Increase Low Libido
How's your sex life lately?
This question may be a little intrusive, but your libido actually has
big implications for your health.
Low libido affects men and women. When faced with low libido or impotence,
men (unfortunately) often turn to performance enhancing drugs, like Viagra.
Women don't have the same options in prescription drugs, which is actually
a blessing in disguise.
Even though pharmaceutical drugs seem like an easy answer, they don't solve
the root cause of low libido.
More than just putting a damper on your love life, low libido can also
indicate a health condition that you may not have heard about from your doctor:
adrenal fatigue. Your adrenals are the glands above your kidneys that
secrete hormones and directly influence your energy, metabolism, sleep and
sexual organs.

& Solutions for This Under-Reported Condition You're your Doctor Doesn't
Know.
So if you haven't been in the mood lately, then it's time to boost your lagging
libido, nourish your adrenals, and improve your overall health at the same
time.
Here's 5 Simple Keys to Nourishing Your Adrenals and Boosting Your Libido:
- Get your minerals. Your adrenal glands are the workhorses of your
body, and you need to treat them well. They thrive on an abundance of all
the minerals, especially iodine, zinc, selenium, copper and magnesium. Our
modern lifestyle and food choices can deplete your body of many minerals.
Play catch up by getting your minerals from these sources:
- Ocean Plant Extract. Formulated from mineral-rich sea vegetables,
Ocean
Plant Extract is a highly concentrated, raw source of trace minerals
including iodine. It is especially good for nourishing your thyroid.
- Young Coconut
Kefir. Drink this delicious probiotic-rich fermented drink and
you'll cut sugar cravings, boost your energy and immunity and create
younger looking skin to boot! It is an excellent source of potassium
and a very good source of natural sodium.
- Eat leafy greens. Collards, kale, and turnip greens all provide
you with easy-to-absorb minerals. Make sure you steam
cruciferous vegetables to get all the health-enhancing benefits.
Who needs a little blue pill when you can boost your libido,
stabilize your metabolism, detoxify your body, and even prevent
heart disease? Ocean Plant Extract is a potent concentrated
supplement made from sea vegetables that just may be the world's
perfect food. Be sure to try

- Sleep. Now, this may seem counter-intuitive. After all, sleep is
probably not what you have in mind when it comes to sex. But, your adrenals
(and the rest of the systems in your body) may very well be sleep starved.
It turns out that good solid sleep is essential to a healthy libido and
a healthy body. So if your love life is a priority, make sleep a priority
too.

- Toss the Viagra (and female Viagra). It may be tempting to try
drugs like Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. And women might try non-prescription
supplements that call themselves "female Viagra." But these drugs
and others like them just treat the symptoms instead of addressing
the root cause of the problem.
Ultimately, if you experience low libido, your body might be out of balance.
Take a holistic approach to improve your mental and physical health and
your sexual performance and stamina should reflect the happier new you.
Exercise - even a good morning walk- is vital for improving libido and improving
your mental and physical health rapidly.
In the meantime, consider taking adaptogens, specific herbs that help
your body recover from stress and give you energy:
- Holy
Basil (or Tulsi) is a cherished herb of India that promotes
stamina and energy. It is also known to promote clarity of thought and
calmness. Stressful situations will still happen but you will find yourself
not reacting to the stressor.
- Ashwaganda is a powerful herbal supplement that energizes your
body and minimizes the negative effects of stress. Ashwaganda
is traditionally used to enhance male reproductive health and sexual
function.
- Cut out sugar. There are many reasons not to eat sugar.
It disturbs your sleep, leaches minerals out of your bones, ages you rapidly,
depletes your adrenals and thyroid and disrupts hormonal balance. Sugar
puts you at risk for degenerative diseases. Sugar consumption is also a
major factor in adrenal fatigue.
You may think that you need a sugar "high," but once you wean
yourself off it, you'll have more energy than before for whatever it is
that you want to do!
You don't have to give up that sweet taste in your recipes or beverages
though... be

- Balance your hormones. If your sex hormones are not in balance,
you may experience low libido and performance issues. Fortunately, both
men and women can benefit from the adaptogenic affects of the Super Tonic
Chinese herbs. There are many excellent choices, but one of the best known
and most widely used herbs, Dong Quai is commonly thought to be a "gynecological
regulator". This is true, but it is an outstanding blood tonic for
both sexes. A blood tonic builds blood. If you have anemia, had had surgery
or an injury, Dong Quai helps rebuild red blood cells. Women benefit after
their monthly "cleansing" to replenish lost blood.
Dong Quai is prized for its ability to enhance fertility and reproductive
function as well as support prostate health and fight general signs of aging
and depression. Contrary to earlier reports pharmaceutical studies show that
Dong Quai does not have estrogenic actions but does have hormone balancing
properties.
Body Ecology's founder, Donna Gates, liked the benefits of Dong Quai so much
that she asked Grainfield's of Australia to use it in their FermFlora process
creating a wonderful new probiotic liquid for the Body Ecology product line.

Is Also Great For Men!)
Body Ecology supports a healthy lifestyle, and we know that having a healthy
sexual relationship with a loving partner is an important part of longevity
and vitality.
So as you begin to address your health, nourish your adrenals, and give your
body the rest it needs, you may find that you have all the ingredients for
spicing up your sex life.
