The liver and Sex Hormones

As with most health problems, eating a healthy diet, exercising moderately, cutting out saturated fats, quitting smoking, and avoiding the use of alcohol and prescription drugs (with the approval of your healthcare practitioner) can work to enhance your overall health. These sensible lifestyle choices from a good springboard for dealing with low libido as well. In addition, there is a rich history of the use of herbs to enhance sexual response.
Because the liver processes sex hormones, herbalists recommend cleansing and detoxifying with liver-friendly herbs, such as dandelion, milk thistle, burdock,and licorice root, to optimize liver function.
