However, there are drugs and supplements that claim to decrease your sex drive, there is a better and safer solution. There are certain herbal remedies that can help decease libido. Read on below to know more about them.
Chasteberry (Vitex Agnus-Cactus)
It is a certain species of Vitex which is majorly found in the Mediterranean region. Though we mostly call it ‘Chastberry’, it also has several other names such as ‘Abraham’s Balm’, Chaste Tree’, Monk’s Pepper’, etc. The shrub boasts of having more than a few medicinal properties and one of them is decreasing excessive sex drive. Researchers have established the fact that Chasteberry has long been used for treating some sort of gynaecological conditions as well as dealing with specific breast health issues. There is no such evidence that can ensure its influence on the sex desire of human beings. However, it is still believed to be the most powerful natural remedy for reducing libido in men. According to the assumption of experts, small doses of Chasteberry helps limit the secretion of Prolactin hormone which eventually takes control over the sexual urges.
Hops (Humulus Lupulus)
Though the popularity of Hops is often attributed to its flavouring property, it is also known to have some quality that can drive away libido. If used in proper way, this herb can make it extremely tough for men to keep up an erection.
Valerian (Valerina Officinalis)
Valerian, also called ‘Garden Valerian’, ‘Red valerian’, and ‘All-Heal’, is a well-known herbal medicine. When it comes to decreasing libido in females, Valerian works as one of the best remedies. As per the sayings of Valerian users, it has direct impact on the entire nervous system and hence can calm it significantly. As a result, the secretion of sexual hormones gets reduced and women feel less sexual desire. However, the libido-decreasing power of the herb is yet to be proved scientifically.
Rehmannia (Rehmannia Glutinosa)
This is an enormously popular Chinese herb that has been appreciated for its remedial properties. Rehmannia or ‘Ti Huang Chiu’ is available in the market as root and can be used for treating exceptionally high libido in human beings. You can purchase the root from the market and prepare an infusion from it. However, it can also be combined with ginger or cardamom for avoiding the side effects.
Ligustrum (Ligustrum Vulgare)
Ligustrum is more or less similar to Rehmannia and can help reduce sex drive in both male and female considerably. It has an effect on the nervous or craniosacral segment of our body which makes it difficult for us to get aroused.
If you really want a natural solution for decreasing your high libido, choose the most suitable option for yourself and give it a try.
