Magnesium, Zinc and Potassium are indispensable elements for proper sexual function, production of semen and most importantly testosterone. Sexual function is also affected negatively by stress. Therefore foods that are rich in Magnesium, Zinc and Potassium and those, which have a calming effect, are great for our libido. For this reason the following 42 foods and 2 herbs are considered aphrodisiacs.

Red Wine, Walnuts, Aniseed, Celery, Cucumber, Ginger, Radish, Raspberries, Sweet Basil, Truffles, Whipped Cream, Pumpkin Seeds, Cherries, Tea, Artichokes, Strawberries, Olive Oil, Arugula, Pine Nuts, Coffee, Chili Peppers, Oysters, Chocolate, Watermelon, Avocado, Figs, Pomegranates, Honey, Vanilla, Salmon, Maca Roots, Cardamom, Hemp, Garlic, Goji Berries, Guava, Banana, Asparagus, Foie Gras, Saffron, Almonds and all Green Leafy Vegetables Plus Ginseng, Gingko Biloba, Beet, Chili, Oysters, Onions, Peaches, Peas, Oranges, Pears and Thyme.

Vitamin D is important for sexual function and proper levels keep you upbeat. So eat the right food and get plenty of sunshine. Over and above these, saturated fats play an important role in testosterone production. Red meat has lots of it but if you are a vegetarian add coconut oil and cashew nuts to your diet, as a replacement. If you eat eggs, the yolk has lots of saturated fat. Alcohol is also considered a potent Aphrodisiac.

I have struggling with chronic fatigue all my life. The issue with this condition is that, over time it affects everything in your body especially the hormone levels. It creates anorexic conditions and balancing your diet becomes an issue. This further complicates matters. My testosterone level had been falling consistently and went below a level of 100 ng/dL. I started researching ways to boost testosterone naturally because low – T therapy has many adverse side effects. Whenever I Googled for “food for higher testosterone”, the result were "8 Testosterone Boosting Foods ", "6 Seasonal Foods to Boost Your Sex Life" and "9 Ways to Naturally Increase Testosterone Levels". It was the same stuff I found in every list. I was looking for a more easy to find vegetarian foods which none of the list had. I kept searching and slowly found more stuff to add to my list and use to boost my testosterone levels. I had to do it the hard way. I first worked out what was needed to boost testosterone levels and then searched for foods that had the necessary ingredients. Over a couple of years I have compiled a list of 108 foods that boost testosterone. I have used most stuff from the list in my diet plan. My testosterone level tripled over six months from under 100 ng/dL to 353 ng/dL as on October 13, 2013 when I last checked. I am a vegetarian and do not get the high saturated fat and cholesterol present in meat, so I use lots of coconut oil. This is the list of 108 foods for optimizing testosterone levels that I am sharing with you here.

Some of these foods contain high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat which are key elements in Testosterone production and a few reduce or delay the production of estrogen. Some of these foods are natural aphrodisiacs. All are rich in one or more of the following elements; Potassium, Zinc, Vitamin D, Folic Acid, Vitamin E, Omega-3s, Bromelain (enzyme), indole-3-carbinol, Magnesium, Calcium, Manganese, Tryptophan, Arginine, Catechins, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Androstenone , Androstenol, Vitamin K, Vitamin Bs, Saponins, natural Methylators, Apigening , Capsaicin , Citrulline, Reservatrol, Selenium and Bromelain (enzyme).

Lycopodium Clavatum

Amazon.com - Read eBooks using the FREE Kindle Reading App on Most Devices

Lycoposium Clavatum is useful for all the following ailments if chosen on the basis of similia similbus curantur. Similia similibus curantur means “like cures like”. This is the elementary principle of Homeopathy. A substance which induces an ailment also cures it if prepared into a Homeopathic remedy. Therefore very often in homeopathy poisons are potensized into homeopathy remedies.

When choosing a remedy or medicine in homeopathy it is essential to take into account all prevailing symptoms of the patient. When chosen correctly keeping in line with the principles of homeopathy Lycopodium Clavatum can cure alopecia, constipation, cough, diarrhea, diphtheria, dropsy, dyspepsia, ear problems and lots more, that I will discuss here including conditions when Lycopodium is prescribed.

Lycopodium Clavatum is a premier remedy of Homeopathy. The personality of Lycopodium is intelligence and feeble muscular development. It is similar to Nux Vomica, keen intelligence with weak muscular development. They only make an impression after interaction with them when we realize their intellectual superiority. On first sight they are not at all impressive. They are very impatient and sensitive. Lycopodium patients sometimes pick unnecessary quarrels. They cannot tolerate contradiction and are fault finding. They may always be looking for a fight and are extremely sour. Whatever be their ailment aggravation is in the evenings. They have trouble eating and always feel full. They are very greedy and malicious. There is good chance of lung ailments. They are also predisposed to disease of the liver and consequently dropsical swellings. The face is pale with sunken eyes. They seem like an old man burdened with worry and anxiety.

Lycopodium often develops calculi in the bladder or kidneys expelling red gravel in urine. The mood is weeping and nothing can calm her. There is great pretence and stiffness. Flatulence is a key symptom and is in the lower abdomen. Lycopodium often seems bloated due to excessive accumulation of flatus.

Aggravation is peculiarly between 4 and 8 pm. All ailments start on the right and move to the left. If a headache starts it moves from the right to the left side of the head. It is usually the first remedy thought of in dyspepsia. The tongue is white coated with a sour putrid taste and painful blisters. They want to eat all the time but the appetite is uncertain. There is distress immediately after eating. They may be affected by nausea, vomiting and hiccoughs. Lyopodium Clavatum has a peculiar heart burn starting at 3 pm and being relieved at 7 pm with vomiting of sour bile and food.

The abdomen is sensitive to tight clothing. The liver is sensitive and there is great churning in the stomach with tension in the hypochondria. It is accompanied by depression of the mind. They may have ineffectual desire for stool due to constriction in the rectum. A striking symptom is severe cutting, stitching pain after evacuation. This extreme pain often leaves the patient prostrated. They may suffer from hemorrhoids. On probing there is spasmodic constriction of the sphincter. The rectum is narrowed. Lycopodium can cure diarrhea with chilliness of the rectum.

Lycopodium is used in diabetes in patients drinking large quantities of water and passing large amounts of clear or light colored urine. It also helps cystitis in patients with turbid, offensive, milky urine. They have to wait long to pass water despite great urging. There is great bearing down pain in the abdomen. There is great tendency to calculi formation and unless checked in time there is danger of running into regular attacks of colic. The red sandy substance is often seen in the urine of children and babies which makes them shriek on any attempt to urinate.

Lycopodium is a remedy par excellence for constipation of young men and boys dealing with nightly pollutions or addicted to masturbation. It is a remedy for impotence. There is lack of power and desire. The penis is cold, relaxed and shriveled. Erections are weak and the patient falls asleep during embrace. This often occurs in young men suffering from exhausting nightly pollutions and in old men after excessive sexual indulgence.

In the female sexual system we find passing of blood with every passing of stool. The patient complains of burning of the vagina after every attempt of coition. The vagina is also extremely dry. It helps reduce inflammation of the uterus. It is applicable in a chronic inflammation. Corroding bloody milky leucorrhea, neuralgic pain with origins in internal genitalia, erectile tumors and chronic dryness of the vagina calls for application of Lycopodium.

It is a remedy for morning sickness of pregnant women. There is nausea, vomiting, anorexia and swelling of veins during the first month. Movement of the fetus is a source of distress. Lycopodium checks this movement and induces labor at the proper time. The application during labor is when parturition is prevented by spasmodic contraction of the cervix. The pain though unbearable is ineffectual. The patient cannot be still and pains are relieved temporarily by pushing against a support.

Lycopodium is applicable in aliments of the respiratory tract. Nasal mucous membrane is inflamed. The onset of a bad cold with red eyes, acrid discharge from the nose swollen and inflamed calls for Lycopodium. Snuffles, discharge of elastic plugs and dry crusts, blockage of the nose causing uneasy sleep are other symptoms. There is serious involvement of the lungs when the cold travels downward. It is applicable in pneumonia when the breathing is diaphragmatic. The patient has a bluish white appearance with pinched nostrils. The pulse, heart rate and temperature are very high.

Pulsatilla

Amazon.com - Read eBooks using the FREE Kindle Reading App on Most Devices

Pulsatilla is a polychrest remedy. It is useful for treating virtually every disease known to man. In Homeopathy however, a remedy is prescribed on indication, taking into account totality of symptoms. A Pulsatilla patient can be easily recognized by her mild and yielding temperament.  She can hardly say a cruel word and is always taken advantage of. A Pulsatilla patient broods endlessly on her course of action. She is loved by all because of her mild yielding disposition. She is thrown off balance easily and cries at the smallest of matters. She cries at the smallest of ailments which would generally be overlooked by another patient. Tendency to weep is the key symptom of a Pulsatilla patient. However, Pulsatilla is not the only remedy for a tendency to weep. Lycopodium, Sepia and Natrum Mur. patients are equally sad. There is also great changeability of symptoms her unhappiness may easily change to vehemence and peevishness. In this Pulsatilla is similar to Sarsaparilla, Nux mosch and Ignatia.

This changeability of symptoms is important to note as it is seen in every ailment. Pain changes location and intensity and is accompanied by chills. Chills increase and decrease in tandem with pain. Keeping in line with this changeability her menstrual cycle and flow are irregular. She is also very sad and gloomy during this period. She does not have a ray of hope. She also has the strangest of hallucinations. She may at times imagine that she is in bed with a naked stranger. Strangely such symptoms are very common.

Pulsatilla is often indicated in ailments after grief, like the loss of a loved one. These patients suffer from uterine or neuralgic headaches. The pain is located in the forehead or behind the ear and is almost inconceivable. It is relieved in the open and by banding the head. It increases in the evening, in a warm room and by exertion.

Pulsatilla is an excellent remedy for toothache. The gums may bleed and are spongy. They pain at the least touch. The pain is unbearable and comes and goes. The pain makes the eyes water whenever it increases. Like all other symptoms it is more at night and evenings. Toothache also increases at rest, in a warm room and bed.

Pulsatilla affects the female sexual system deeply. The menstrual flow is irregular and may also be insufficient and delayed. The flow is more during the day and on movement. For Homeopaths the time of flow is critical. To find the correct remedy in homeopathy it is important to consider the time of aggravation and amelioration. We also need to consider under what conditions the symptoms are more and when they recede. The menstrual discharge may be thin and watery or thick clotted black. The changeability of symptoms applies here also. Discharges differ every time and are accompanied with chilliness, weeping, migraine, nausea and vomiting. Pulsatilla may also suppress menses. It is applicable in suppression of menses of young girls when the period is delayed or absent. This has a major psychological effect on them. They become detached and silent. It may have its root in getting the feet wet or nervous debility. Other symptoms accompanying the condition are anorexia, headache and nausea. A large number of other ailments may arise in women from deviation in the sexual sphere. 

The leucorrhea discharge for Pulsatilla is thick, milky-white. It is a treatment for leucorrhea in girls during puberty and suppression of menses and may be associated with cold and damp.

It is often used during pregnancy to prevent abortion. Injudicious use however may result in abortion. The indications during pregnancy are appearance of the flow, fainting and pain. Difficulty in breathing is often associated with Pulsatilla. When prescribed on totality of symptoms Pulsatilla corrects wrong position of fetus.

The dyspepsia in Pulsatilla has slow digestion. The taste of food lingers on. There is vomiting where the food from previous days is thrown. Pain in the pit of the stomach is a classic symptom. There may be ulceration in the stomach. There is discomforting flatulence which rumbles in the stomach, especially in the evenings. It may give rise to colic. It is the result of indulgence. The tongue is coated white and she is thirst less. Often there is diarrhea. The stool is in all complaints are different every time. They may be bloody, green or white. They are different every time. Some are offensive and others may be odorless. This diarrhea may change to constipation. She has irregular menstruation, backache, nausea and bad taste requiring repeated rinsing.

Pulsatilla is the remedy for fever with paroxysm at 4 pm. The fever is preceded by diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. The tongue is coated white or yellow. As in all ailments there is great changeability of symptoms. Every paroxysm is different. The attack starts at 4 pm with gastric disturbance. The chill is shifting. There is heat in one part and chill in another. Sometimes one side in numb. Hands and feet burn during the heat stage. She wants the doors and windows open. She cannot tolerate external warmth. Her face is red and veins distended. Even before the heat stage the patient starts to sweat abundantly. The sweat is more during sleep and evenings. She is thirsty during the morning paroxysm but quite thirst less during the paroxysm at 4 pm.

Dandruff Treatment

Dandruff is a common chronic scalp condition. It is not contagious unless caused by infection. It is nothing but flakes of dead skin formation on the scalp. Dandruff may be accompanied with itching and in severe cases, burning. It is caused by cold dry weather, over-growth of fungus, infrequent shampooing, stress, hormonal changes, and sensitivity to hair styling products. Deficiency of zinc and vitamins B may also cause dandruff. The risk of dandruff increases due to incorrect diet, illness, stress or constipation.

Dandruff treatment with chemical based solutions may in the long run only make the problem worse. A simple way to treat dandruff is to use fresh lemon or lime juice. Just squeeze juice from one lemon about 10 ml for long hair and 5 ml for short hair. Use enough so that it stays in the hair. Add equal amount of water. Apply the mix to your scalp 10 minutes before washing the hair. Lemon and lime are also great as deodorants. Just cut a lemon and apply it under your armpit, leave it for a while and wipe. Remember not to apply lemon juice after shaving.  You can also mix equal parts of lemon juice to coconut oil and apply to the root of your hair. Leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing.  You may use any other oil with lemon juice for dandruff. The fact is that the active ingredient is lemon or lime juice. Use only edible grade oil for best results, like coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, sesame seed oil or mustard oil.

I have also heard of people using Yellow Listerine mouthwash to treat dandruff. However I wouldn’t do it because Listerine mouthwash has alcohol which can make the hair very dry. Dry hair will result in more dandruff in the long term. So if you are using Listerine in your hair, you need to think again.

Neem (Azadirachta indica) has been used for thousands of years in India to treat all kinds of skin and hair problems. Take a handful of fresh Neem leaves and boil them in one liter of water for about 20 minutes. Add water as required. Strain the leaves when cool and rinse your hair with the solution everyday for 10 days or till the dandruff is in control.

Camphor may be used for dandruff treatment. Take 5 table spoons of coconut oil in a heating frying pan. Add a piece of camphor, about 1 gram. Mix it well. Let the oil cool down till lukewarm. Massage your scalp with the mix. Leave it over night.

A remedy that may be used is plain yogurt. Massage your scalp with yogurt and leave it on for 20 minutes. Use it for as many days as needed, if you dare.

Natural Thyroid Treatment

Hypothyroidism is caused when your thyroid gland under produces thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones metabolize sugar and helps our body produce energy. A drop in the hormone levels causes fatigue. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease of the thyroid may result in Hypothyroidism. Other causes of Hypothyroidism are excessive exposure to iodide from medicines, consumption of lithium drugs and surgical removal of the thyroid. Also as we age the thyroid function retards and may result in Hypothyroid. The most common reason however, is lower levels of iodine in the diet. This can be corrected by consuming more Iodine rich foods.

Foods rich in iodine
An important source of Iodine is fortified salt. It is not adequate however, to limit yourself to salt as the only source for Iodine. You may also need to add other sources if you are on a reduced sodium diet. Medicines for depression and allergies affect thyroid function. One way to maintain needed levels of Iodine in the body is to add dairy products, eggs, seaweed like Kelp, saltwater fish and shellfish to your diet.

Goitrogenic foods
Goitrogenic foods or anti thyroid foods should be avoided especially in raw form. These affect thyroid function resulting in lower production of thyroid hormones. When cooked such foods cause less damage. Some foods which retard thyroid function are: Broccoli, Pears, Turnips, Corn, Pine nuts, Kohlrabi, Soybeans, Rutabaga, Peanuts, Spinach, Watercress, Radishes, Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, Mustard, Cabbage, Peaches, Canola oil, Strawberries and Millets.

Glutathione foods
Cystine, glycine and glutamine together are known as Glutathione. Glutathione acts on overall health and is therefore known as the master antioxidant. Our liver naturally synthesizes Glutathione. However whenever we are under stress, which may be due to a medical condition, the natural production of Glutathione is affected.  Therefore it should be supplemented in a condition like Hypothyroidism. Lower levels of Glutathione affects the stomach lining resulting in a weakened immune system. The best Glutathione food sources are fruits, vegetables and meat. Foods that help the body to produce Glutathione are: Asparagus, Peaches, Squash, Raw eggs, Broccoli, Avocado, Garlic and Grapefruit.

Hypothyroidism and exercise
It is a good idea to put in a 15 minute workout everyday or half an hour a week. If you don’t feel like exercising even going out for a walk would be a good idea. Ideally do breathing exercises of any kind. Pranayam and Yoga really work wonders for a thyroid condition. There are some excellent techniques in Yoga like Ujjahi breathing improves the function of the thyroid. Techniques like Kapal bhati and Nauli improve digestion and increase energy levels.

Sunlight – Natural Source of Vitamin D
Proper Calcium metabolism is dependent on vitamin D and is important for the thyroid function. Among all natural sources of vitamin D sunlight is the most important. Our body makes Vitamin D from exposure to sunlight. Proper Vitamin D levels alleviate symptoms of depression and also help thyroid function. Although it is common for doctors to prescribe Vitamin D3 supplements even to healthy people, sunshine remains the only natural source of vitamin D. If you remain indoors, it is important to expose yourself to sunlight at least 20 minutes each day. So combine it with your exercise routine.

Herbs for thyroid treatment
Herbs have been used for treating the thyroid for thousands of years. Herbs may be taken along with thyroid medicines or you could try herbs before you go on to modern medicine. Nettle is rich in iodine. It may be used in the form of tea or Nettle oil can be used to massage the neck. Siberian Ginseng is an excellent remedy for fatigue. All Hypothyroid patients suffer from fatigue. Ginseng regulates the thymus and adrenal glands which in turn improve thyroid function.
