Deer Antler Velvet as a Sexual Tonic

Surthrival — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:12:19 +0000

Deer Antler Velvet has been used as an ancient sexual tonic throughout Asian Cultures and religions for centuries. These people were of the understanding that strong sexual energy was a precursor of enhanced physical health. While some would use their intensified sexual energy to have sex, others like the Taoists would focus on the evolution of that energy through potent Qi-Gong meditation techniques like the “micro cosmic orbit”. In this particular exercise, a practitioner will take built up sexual energy, inhale it up the spinal column into the center of the brain, particularly the pineal gland and then exhale the energy back down to the lower abdominal area. This “breath” would be repeated many times in one sitting and would eventually lead to the illumination or creation of thousands of dormant or non-existent brain cells.

Some of the greatest thinkers and philosophers that have ever lived were those who knew how to transmute their own sexual energy into thought and go on to create inventions and ideas that have been nearly immortalized throughout human history. Many athletes use abundant sexual energy to excel at the physical activity or sport that they are engaged in. Why does Deer Antler Velvet create strong sexual function in humans? Well, let’s look at the sexual life of the deer. Velvet antler is collected when the male deer or stag goes into his mating season. At that point his testosterone levels are at some of their highest concentrations inside of the blood that is fluid throughout the cartilage of the antler. During this exact time, the velvet antler becomes extremely rich with sex hormones. This results in the male deer fighting with rival male deer to obtain the right to breed and pass on his genetics. For deer and other cervid animals this strong sexual urge is the key to their survival. Humans, because of our inherent free will and consciousness, can use our sexual energy for our own SurThrival! The potential of what we are able to create when we focus the energy of our being into our desired outcome is limitless. Having a strong sexual drive and refocusing it has the potential to lead to results that our most precious dreams are made of!

From the physiological perspective of enjoying sex, Velvet Antler may assist in combating erectile dysfunction because it increases testosterone levels and sperm count. It has also been known to strengthen and rebuild the blood so that blood flow is increased dramatically thereby assisting in all body functions. The surge of new blood allows women to experience multiple orgasms due to improved fluid circulation in sex organ function.

Research has shown us that Velvet Antler maintains androgenic and gonadotropic effects, meaning that it helps regulate the activity of sex organs. This is a powerful testament to deer antler velvets proven adaptogenic benefits! It has also been shown to contain biologically active substances of both male and female sex hormone types. These include estrone, testosterone and a substance similar to progesterone. Because it contains hormone types for women, deer antler velvet has been clinically proven to ease menopausal symptoms in women making this transition much more comfortable.

Whether you are struggling with erectile dysfunction, low libido, imbalanced hormones or basic lack of sexual energy, research has revealed that deer antler velvet has been the answer for many for centuries and counting…

Tonic Herbs: The True SuperFoods of Ancient and Modern Times

Surthrival — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:14:06 +0000

Before we get into some of the many traditional and modern uses of Deer Antler Velvet let’s discuss “Tonic Herbs”, what they are and what their use is.

Less than 100 herbs in the entire Chinese Pharmacopoeia are considered to be tonic herbs. Tonic herbs are the true super-foods of ancient and modern times. Their ability to provide unique alchemical nutrients to the body is unprecedented. Their extraordinary ability to balance, protect and vitalize are what inspired the ancient Taoists to entertain the concepts of physical immortality.

With an abundant bounty of broad spectrum nutrients including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and many other rare phyto-chemicals, tonic herbs are especially revered for their bionutrients. These nutrients have properties that exhibit anti-aging, cholesterol lowering and memory enhancing benefits. In addition to this a host of anti-oxidants are present as well as potent excipients that act as carriers bringing about a better utilization of nutrients in the body.

The best tonic herbs provide a massive range of physiological benefits, but they must be used with proper knowledge to yield the best results. Because TCM believes that health conditions can manifest in a multitude of symptoms and the goal of treatment is from a whole body perspective rather than curing a specific symptom, it is noteworthy to mention that many of the tonic herbs prescribed to treat specific health concerns, will also address other unseen problems due to their adaptogenic properties.

Deer velvet is known as a Shen tonic, which strengthens mental and cognitive functions. It is also considered a blood, liver and kidney tonic.

The kidneys are associated with vigor and vitality and regarded in eastern medicine as being “the root of life”. They control all skeletal elements and anything related to physical structure. Because of its powerful regeneration abilities Antler Velvet is used for problems associated with bones, joints and cartilage. Due to the kidneys function of controlling reproductive organs, deer antler velvet is known to be a powerful sexual tonic. In fact, it is also one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs we and many others have ever experienced!

The reason that deer antler velvet is used for the re-growth and regeneration of bones, cartilage, muscle and tissue is due largely to complex chemical agents called ectosaponins. These chemicals actually cause tissue regeneration. This phenomenon occurs frequently in nature. It is how starfish grow back lost limbs, how lizards acquire new tails and how cervid animals such as deer and moose grow a massive rack of antlers and drop them in the woods every single year! Because of these properties, Deer Antler velvet is used for the re-growth of nerve tissue which does not notably regenerate on its own. It is an herb of strength, life force and potential immortality! Deer antler velvet can be taken internally or applied topically to weaker areas where more Chi is required. When taken orally it is best to put the required dosage into your mouth and mix it with saliva, then put under your tongue for 90 seconds. After that you will want to swish it around your cheeks for 30 seconds before swallowing it. This is called a Buccal Mucosa Delivery System. It is a 3 part system of orally ingesting Deer Antler Velvet that maximizes the healing potential that this miraculous herb offers. By allowing the tonic to absorb through your mouth before entering your stomach, you ensure sufficient absorption of the ectosaponins, growth factors(IGF-1 and IGF-2), amino acids, polypeptides, interleukins and the wide array of vitamins and minerals present in Deer Antler Velvet.

Next week we will talk about the sexual benefits and allure of working with Deer Antler Velvet plus we will begin our blog about Colostrum and how it is 3 times more effective against swine flu than vaccines!
