Herbal Tincture For Female Sexual Exhaustion

In today’s high stress and demanding world, many women complain that they are simply worn out. When it comes to love making they just can’t get themselves motivated. They are sexually exhausted. On the other hand, there are women who engage in excessive sexual activity, which most certainly leads to similar feelings of burnout and disinterest. Either way the symptoms are the same. Tiredness coupled with a loss of libido leads to frustration and, in some cases, unfortunate misunderstandings with a significant other.
 
This special blend of re-energizing herbs has been formulated especially to treat female sexual exhaustion. Codonopsis Pilosula, known as the “poor man’s Ginseng”, cleanses the blood and revitalizes the nervous system. Polygonum Multiflorum, the “longevity” herb, promotes youthful feeling and behavior, is a major blood tonic and is known to increase energy and fertility.
 
The Chinese fruit, Lycium, is used to restore libido and stamina. It can also be a very rich source of vitamins A, C and E, as well as flavanoids and other bio-active compounds. The synergized properties of this formula will have you ‘ready to go’ in no time!

One of the oldest medicinal practices is the formulation of a “tincture”, an extraction of active compounds from plant material using alcohol as solvent.  The active ingredients in herbs are best and most easily extracted by alcohol. A primary purpose of the extraction is to isolate and secure various anti-oxidant compounds known as “flavonoids” that are beneficial to human health. Once prepared, it is best to store your tincture in a airtight dark glass container and keep it at (or below) room temperature.

Preparation

1. Pour the herbal blend into the jar, up to between a quarter to half of its capacity (20 oz)
2. Add Vodka, Rum or Brandy just above the level of the herbs.
3. Seal the jar (tightly, to prevent leakage or evaporation)
4. Store the jar in a dry and dark area.
5. Add more alcohol over the next few days, allowing the dried herbs to soak and expand.
6. Store the jar for two weeks to three months.

Ready to Drink

1. Strain the tincture through a sieve with cheesecloth into another clean jar or storage container.
2. Extract the remaining tincture by squeezing the saturated herbs and transfer it into a dropper bottle. Refrigerate it.
3. Take two teaspoons right after lunch and dinner. If you can’t stand the taste, dilute it with water, juice, or tea.

Discussion&Tips

Most herbal tinctures are prepared using alcohol as a solvent. If you can’t consume alcohol, use Apple Cider Vinegar or Wine Vinegar instead. It is recommended to store them in the refrigerator, but be sure to label the jars clearly in order to prevent other family members from inadvertently drinking your tincture. Avoid using plastic containers at all costs. The ethanol in the tincture may solubilize some of the free vinyl substances in the plastic and some PBA might leak out. Never use stainless steel containers for long-term storage.
 
If the tiny fragments of residue passing through the cheesecloth concern you, filter them twice through a paper coffee filter.
