Different Ways to Help You Deal With Impotence

Impotence is every man’s greatest fear. It affects not only the sexual wellness and wellbeing of those affected, but also their emotional and mental health. Even the word itself seems to somehow imply failure or weakness. Those who are impotent feel that they have lost not only their sexual health but also their dignity, wholeness and masculinity.

 

Impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction can improve with treatment, however, and is not something that should just be accepted. There are many different causes of erectile dysfunction and there are many different solutions, both medical and non-medical, in the form of home remedies.

 

There are different degrees of erectile dysfunction too. Some men can achieve an erection but are unable to maintain it. Some men become erect but not fully erect. Others only have a problem with a new partner, or with a long-time partner. Then on the extreme end of the spectrum there are those who are unable to achieve an erection at all.

 

Behaviour modification is one way to tackle things, if the erectile dysfunction is caused by emotional issues. If it’s caused by a medical condition (and around 70 percent of cases of impotence are) then there are home remedies and therapies that can help you to get back into your sexual stride.

 

Medical conditions can contribute to erectile dysfunction, the most common of these being diabetes, alcoholism, kidney disease, multiple sclerosis, vascular disease, atherosclerosis and neurologic disease. Around half of all men with diabetes have problems with erectile dysfunction, and younger men tend to fall victim to injuries that cause their erectile dysfunction, such as gunshot wounds, car crashes and skiing accidents. Other causes can include hormonal imbalances.

 

Doctors treat erectile dysfunction with oral medications, vacuum devices, locally injected drugs, behaviour modification techniques and even surgically implanted devices.

The Best Holistic Ways to Help You Beat Your Depression

Depression is a serious mental/emotional health condition, which leaves the sufferers unable to lead a normal lifestyle and maintain good levels of wellness. It occurs when the human brain is unable to produce enough of a hormone called serotonin, which is the hormone responsible for keeping your mood elevated and maintaining your sense of wellbeing. When this hormone is lacking, the sufferer can be plunged into depression, leading to symptoms such as appetite changes, fatigue, inability to relax, insomnia and suicidal tendencies. This condition can be hereditary or it can result from a time of trauma or tragedy.

 

The holistic approach to curing depression involves various forms such as oils, herb supplements, teas and tinctures. As with all alternative forms of medicine, however, you should consult your doctor for standard medical advice too, and make sure that whatever you are taking complements your medication.

 

One example of a complementary depression medication is 5-HTP or hydroxytryptophan, which is extracted from a plant called griffonia simplicifolia. This helps to produce extra serotonin in the brain, and improves mood, appetite and sleep. This is a very common herbal way of treating depression and is thought to be very effective. A dose of around 50mg is normally taken up to three times per day, but it cannot be taken with other antidepressant medications or medication for migraines, blood pressure or Parkinson’s.

 

St John’s Wort is also used in the treatment of depression, and the extracts are used in antidepressant drugs. There are ten active ingredients in the herb, which work on the neurotransmitters in the brain to stimulate them to produce the ‘feel good’ hormones. It is most effective for treating mild to moderate depression, and the usual dose is 300mg three times per day. There are some side effects associated with this one, however, such as weight gain and a reduction in sex drive.
