If there is one constant with the human being it is the libido, the sex drive. It virtually never wans. For some, though, it does. I’ve learned a few secrets on how to naturally increase your sex drive without drugs. By taking certain herbals and other nutritional supplements, you can increase your libido naturally.

I first learned how to improve your sex drive without drugs while working for a master herbalist in the early 80s. One day while working the counter, a farmer came in and asked my employer the herbalist if he knew of anything that could restore his libido. “Has your drive dropped off?” My herbalist friend asked earnestly. “Yes, and it’s embarrassing.” He said. My herbalist employer asked him then if he was around chemicals at all. That caught the farmer’s attention. “Yes, I am actually.” He asserted. After a few minutes talking about the chemicals whose names escape me, my master herbalist friend told him he had to limit his exposure to those chemicals and start taking a few specific herbs that would restore his libido. The farmer was nonplussed. “I don’t know, this seems like, well,…a little hokey to me.” He relented, though, and agreed to follow my employer’s advice. In a few days, my employer received a phone call from the farmer’s wife enthusiastically thanking him for the help.

So, what special herbs and supplements did my master herbalist friend recommend? He recommended the following nutritional supplement and herbs to the farmer:

*Sasparilla

*Ginseng

*Bee pollen and honey

*Goji Juice

Let’s take each of these in turn.

Sasparilla, while not that well know, is teeming with testosterone. It is an herb that will improve the sex drive. Recent research shows that it has two other hormones in addition to testosterone, progesterone and cortin. For what it’s worth, it’s also a powerful tonic blood purifier.

Ginseng has long been favored by Chinese herbalists as well as athletes as a powerful tonic to the overall human system and not just its hormonal system. In ancient China and Korea, ginseng was taken as a tonic for the whole body. It was believed to help in staving off many health conditions including arthritis, physical apathy, male impotence and even senility. It has been proven in scientific research to alleviate major effects of aging, to improve sports performance, increasing the libido, and even in the treatment of cancer.

Bee Pollen. Bee pollen is one of the most unheralded herbs or foods in the world. Bee pollen health benefits include, but are not limited to, lowering appetite, helping to establish proper somatic body type weight, aiding sports performance, and accelerating the sex drive.

Goji Juice. Of all the herbs and foods recommended here, goji juice may be the most “instantaneous.” I have found it enhances my libido literally within hours. Difficult to believe, I know. Goji juice is teeming with nutrients and is considered the food of immortality among the Nepalese and southern Chinese. The fame of goji berries and its juice has been accelerated by the story of Li Ching-Yuen, a Chinese man purported to have lived from 199 to 256 years of age. Li Ching-Yuen is said to have died in May 1933.

Ching-Yuen’s story strains credulity but there are some interesting facts to consider here. Li’s obituary was printed in The New York Times as well as the venerable Time Magazine as well as in other reputed publications. The Time magazine article stated that records were found from the Chinese Imperial Government congratulating Li Ching-Yuen for his 150th birthday — in 1827! These records were uncovered by one Dr. Wu Chung-Chieh from Chengdu University.

In addition to his spartan diet of goji berries and other healthy foods, Mr. Ching-Yuen was said to have performed Qigong daily and was also a Chinese herbalist. Specifically, Li Ching-Yuen was said to use reishi mushrooms, gotu kola, which is known to enhance mental capacity, ginseng and ho shou wu on a daily basis. (Ho shou wu is an herb also known as Chinese knotweed.)

As relating to this article, Mr. Ching-Yuen was purported to have sired over 180 children with 23 wives, all of whom he outlived.

Where is the truth and the fiction with Li Ching-Yuen? Perhaps no one will ever know. But we do know that ginseng, goji berries, bee pollen and sasparilla do increase the human libido.
