Suggest Remedies For High Libido In Partner
My husband is 62 with a very high libido wanting sex every other day and I need a safe herb for him to take to lower his desire. So far all I ve located is the Vitex Chaste Tree unless you can recommend something else that I can put in his tea or coffee.

Hi,
High libido is due to increased testosterone levels in the blood. It can be controlled by the following ways:
1. Infuse the diet with soy.
Soy has been proven to reduce testosterone levels, which will, in turn, reduce libido.
2. Eating a low-fat diet.
3. Eating the herb caste tree berry.
4. Stay away from animal proteins.
5. Exercise frequently.
6. Cut down on alcohol intake.
Some SSRI antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) like fluoxetine and sertraline can reduce sexual desire.
Anti-anxiety drugs such as alprazolam and diazepam are also known to lower sexual desire.
Kindly try natural means to overcome the problem instead of using medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
