In fact, it is possible to increase it to levels that match teenage years. And it can happen within days. There are a number of natural herbal libido enhancers that work effectively, and a fuller list is provided a few paragraphs below. Some of the enhancers becoming more popular include tongkat ali, horny goat weed, tribulus terrestris and yohimbe.

Causes of low female and male libido:
Impotence is defined as the inability to have a strong erection enough to last through sexual intercourse while a person can have a strong libido but still have impotence. On the other hand, if someone takes a Viagra, they can have a strong erection but still have a low sex drive and little or no sensation of the penis.

Due to mental or psychiatric conditions
The causes of psychiatric or psychological sexual dysfunction are numerous but most often are related to stress, lack of adequate sleep, depression, anxiety, marital or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties, problems at work, religious repression, or some forms of mental illness. Getting a deep sleep at night can do wonders for a healthy sex drive.

Due to low or excess hormone levels
Androgens, such as testosterone can be considered sex enhancers. Testosterone levels decline about 1 percent each year in men, which may contribute to lower male libido with aging. Testosterone also declines with age in women leading to a decrease in female libido with menopause. Women who have had surgical removal of the ovaries notice a drop in sexual interest. Replacement of androgens can be helpful in those with age related sexual dysfunction. Testosterone is available by prescription only. An over the counter hormones, such as DHEA, converts into testosterone and thus has a positive influence on libido. Pregnenolone is another over the counter hormone that may increase testosterone levels and thus enhance libido. We prefer the safer approach to low libido enhancement with natural herbs rather than hormones since hormones can have many side effects. Testosterone levels and high or low libido are not always directly linked.

Testosterone is an important hormone in men and women and treatment with testosterone does improve libido. However, there are unpleasant side effect to such remedy, including hair loss and potential increase in certain cancer, for instance prostate cancer. Testosterone may be used occasionally to boost sexual interest and performance, but we don't suggest taking this hormone for long term use, either by men or women.

My doctor told me that I need testosterone to boost my low libido ever since I've had my ovaries removed. Do you think herbs can be an alternative without resorting to hormones? I really don't want to take testosterone.
   Most doctors don't realize that there excellent natural herbs that can replace the need for hormones in terms of sexuality enhancement, and they are often much safer.

is there an herbal libido supplement or vitamin that can help me since I am going through menopause?
   Low doses of tongkat ali, muira puama, horny goat weed, maca, and Passion Rx could be helpful during or after menopause.

Vascular, arterial blockage
Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the penis are thought to be a common cause of male erectile dysfunction. For instance, medical conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes reduce blood flow to the penis and genital organs thus leading to difficulty with erection or genital swelling.  Additional factors that can impede blood flow include penile injury, surgery in the pelvic or abdominal area, and sitting on a bicycle too long. Men who log several thousand miles a year on their mountain bikes suffer scrotal damage that could reduce their fertility.  

Neurological 
Nerve damage from disorders such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke affect the brain’s ability to respond to sexual stimulation. In women, abdominal or pelvic operations can occasionally lead to nerve damage. Sexual dysfunction is common in men undergoing surgical treatment for prostate enlargement or cancer.

Chemical , physiological
Some chemicals involved in the human sexual response and libido include dopamine, acetylcholine, and nitric oxide. Serotonin excess can cause low libido in a man or woman.

Drugs and effect of prescription medications
Drugs that cause low libido include some anti-hypertensives, SSRIs, sedatives, and beta-blockers. Alcohol's negative affect on libido increases with age. Smoking can reduce genital blood flow. Finasteride, a drug used to treat enlarged prostate and to stimulate hair growth (Proscar and Propecia) can cause impotence and ejaculatory dysfunction.

Every since my doctor put me on propranolol for high blood pressure, I have decreased sex drive. Is this a common side effect?
   Yes, for sure. Propranolol is a beta blocker, and almost all beta blocker interfere with optimal sexual functioning, including reduction of sex drive and sensation, along with difficulty with erection.

I have been on and am currently on citalopram 20 mg for depression. I had an angiogram because my family doctor thought I had heart problems after doing an EKG. I underwent stress tests at a cardiologists office and was interned that very same evening for the angiogram. That in itself was enough to give me low libido due to the invasive surgery, but ever since that procedure I have had absolutely nil or low libido. That is really depressing me. I have been on the citalopram for several months but I am wondering if there is anything that I have mentioned here that could be causing it.
    Citalopram is an antidepressant medication used to treat depression. It belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs. Celexa is the brand name for citalopram.

Natural supplements that cause low libido
The most common natural herbs and supplements that decrease it include 5-HTP and kava. Tryptophan may also cause sexual dysfunction.
