Indian herbs to increse
semen volume
Ashwagandha
- Withania Somnifera
Recommended
in the ancient Kama Sutra for heightening sexual experience,
Ashwagandha is easily the most potent aphrodisiac in the entire
botanical kingdom. It has the ability to restore sexual drive,
increase endurance and improve overall vitality while promoting
a calm state of mind. Ashwaganda is an "adaptogenic"
herb which nourishes nerves and improves nerve function to help
your body adapt to stress, one of the common cause of sexual
problems. Hormones (such as adrenaline) produced during difficult
times cause arteries to constrict, keeping blood from the extremities
and negatively impacting sexual performance. Ashwaganda brings
the body back to equilibrium by relaxing it when stressed and
energizing it when fatigued. It also strengthens the reproductive
and respiratory systems while serving as a powerful Medhya Rasayana,
which means that it enhances all aspects of mind power. Ashwagandha
has been used for thousands of year to treat impotence, premature
ejaculation, infertility, and erection disorders.
The
major biochemical constituents of Ashwagandha from which its
primary medicinal properties emanate, are based upon the actions
of certain steroidal alkaloids and steroidal lactones in a class
of constituents called withanolides. These serve as important
hormone precursors that the body is then able, as needed, to
convert into human physiological hormones. If there is an excess
of a certain hormone, the plant based hormone precursors occupy
the so-called hormone receptor sites, without converting to
human hormones, to block absorption. Hence, Ashwagandha - like
other adaptogenic tonic herbs, is amphoteric and can serve to
regulate important physiological processes, increasing or decreasing
as needed.

Atmagupta - Mucuna Pruriens (Velvet Bean)
This
rare herbal extract from India contains high levels of naturally
occurring L-Dopa, the world's most extensively researched
amino acid. L-Dopa is one of the few substances that crosses
the blood brain barrier to convert into Dopamine. Dopamine
is a very powerful neurotransmitter that stimulates the hypothalamus
and pituitary glands to release growth hormone, increase testosterone
levels, boost libido, and increase sperm count AND volume.
Besides having a powerful impact on sex drive, Atmagupta enhances
mental alertness, improves coordination, elevates energy levels,
and promotes lean muscle growth.

Gokshura - Tribulus Terrestris (Tribulus)

LH is a hormone that also increases sex drive and virility.
Laboratory studies have found that Gokshura increases sperm
count after being taken for 30 days and can result in better
than 50% increase in testosterone levels. This
herb also has a stimulating effect on the liver by helping to
convert cholesterol and fats into hormones and energy. When
this action is combined with the increase in testosterone levels
which promote protein synthesis, positive nitrogen balance as
well as faster recuperation and recovery from muscular stress,
Gokshura has a tremendous positive impact on strength and stamina.
