Alternative Treatments For Female Impotence


Female sexual dysfunction is a topic that is rarely discussed, but one which many women must live with. Fortunately, treatment can be quite effective. For those women who avoid conventional drugs because of their side effects, here are some natural remedy suggestions that can help women overcome the symptoms of their sexual dysfunction.

Arginine: What is arginine? Arginine is an amino acid that is sometimes referred to as L-arginine. You can find arginine at your local health food store. Arginine has gained quite a reputation as an effective supplement for treating sexual dysfunction. The body needs arginine in order to produce nitric oxide, which is a compound that allows the blood vessels to become relaxed, thereby allowing more blood to flow through the arteries. Does arginine really work? In one double blind study found that after four weeks, a majority of the women in the study (71 percent) found that their libido was boosted. Some women in the placebo group (47 percent) also reported an increase in libido. The women who took arginine reported increased clitoral sensation, increased frequency and intensity of orgasms, and conveyed an overall improvement in their sexual life.

Gingko biloba: Long revered for its properties for centuries, gingko biloba has no become one of the most popular Chinese herbs for treating sexual dysfunction. Herbalists suggest using gingko biloba for treating sexual dysfunction that is caused by poor circulation or perhaps depression. Originally, ginkgo biloba was being studied for its antidepressant properties. One researcher noted that the plant appeared to be benefiting his sexual life. During one open clinical trial of gingko biloba extract, researchers found that most of the study participants (84 percent) experienced a significant improvement in their sexual lives. Participants reported improved orgasm and increased desire and excitement during sexual intercourse. Some side effects have been reported. These include headaches, nausea, and a tendency to bruise easily. However, naturopaths and herbalists recommend that ginkgo biloba only be used under supervision. This is because ginkgo biloba is a powerful blood thinner. Overuse can increase the risk of hemorrhaging and bleeding in certain patients who may be susceptible. It should never be consumed with other blood thinning drugs such as aspirin or heparin.

DHEA: DHEA is a well-known and popular hormone that can be quite potent. DHEA is produced naturally through our adrenal glands. DHEA supplies both the female hormone (estrogen) and the male hormone (testosterone). As we age, our body naturally declines its production of DHEA. Some people experience a constant lack of DHEA, known as adrenal insufficiency. The drop in DHEA as we age is related to the drop in our libido. Many researchers have studied whether supplementing with DHEA can help keep older individuals with a healthy libido. Studies have shown that supplemental DHEA can indeed improve a person's libido. However, because DHEA is such a potent hormone, it must always be taken under the supervision of an experienced physician. Taking high levels of DHEA can have undesirable side effects, including facial hair growth and acne.
