Concerning your question about natural ways to increase the testosterone levels, maybe the following info could be of help to you.

First some informarion about Testosterone.

Testosterone.

Testosterone can be either free or bound within the body. Bound testosterone is not available for use, as it is bound to other substances throughout the body. Most of a man's testosterone is bound. The remaining testosterone is called free or bioavailable testosterone. Normal levels of testosterone are between 350 - 1000 ng/dl (nanograms per deciliter). Of this, 97 - 98 percent is bound.

Most of the binding occurs to a sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). The amounts of SHBG within the blood increase with age. The SHBG traps much of the circulating bioavailable testosterone, making it unavailable to exert its effects on the body. It is the bioavailable testosterone that promotes strength in the muscles and maintains or increases muscle mass, libido and sexual performance. It also improves quality of sleep, increases mental and physical energy, and also promotes improvements in mood and the sense of well-being. Testosterone also plays a role in synthesizing proteins. It affects many metabolic activities, such as the production of blood cells in the bone marrow, formation of bone, lipid (fat) and carbohydrate metabolism and growth of the prostate gland.

Aging Effects

There is a gradual reduction in testosterone levels with increasing age. The main change is a decline in the length and intensity of various phases of the sexual response cycle.

Through a variety of mechanisms, aging men suffer from the dual effects of having too little testosterone and excess estrogen. The result is a testosterone/ estrogen imbalance that can severely inhibit sexual desire and performance. In youth, low amounts of estrogen are used to turn off the powerful cell-stimulating effects of testosterone. As estrogen levels increase with age, testosterone cell stimulation may be locked in the "off" position, thus reducing sexual arousal and sensation and causing the common loss of libido so common in aging men.

The genital/pelvic region is packed with testosterone receptors that are ultra-sensitive to free testosterone-induced sexual stimulation.

There are two mechanisms by which excess estrogen interferes with sex drive in aging males:

a.Aging men sometimes convert testosterone to estrogen. The estrogen is then taken up by testosterone receptor sites in cells throughout the body. When an estrogen molecule occupies a testosterone receptor site on a cell membrane, it blocks the ability of serum testosterone to induce a healthy hormonal signal. It does not matter how much serum free testosterone is available if excess estrogen is competing for the same cellular receptor sites.

b.Testosterone is a hormone responsible for sex drive in both men and women. For testosterone to promote youthful sexual interest, satisfaction and performance, it must be freely available to cell receptor sites in the brain, the nerves, muscles and genitals. As people age, testosterone becomes bound to serum globulin and is not available to the cell receptor sites were it is needed to initiate sex stimulating centers in the brain. The component in the blood that renders free testosterone inactive is called sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Excess estrogen can increase the production of SHBG and block testosterone-receptor sites.

For testosterone to produce long-lasting libido enhancing effects, it must be kept in the "free" form in the bloodstream. Bound testosterone is not able to be picked up by testosterone receptors on cell membranes. For aging men, it is desirable to suppress excess levels of SHBG and estrogen while boosting free testosterone to the level of a young man. There is now a natural way of modulating testosterone and estrogen levels in aging men that does not require expensive prescription drugs.

Restoring youthful hormone balance can have a significant impact on male sexuality. To reiterate, the hormone modulation objectives that most aging men need to facilitate sexual rejuvenation involves an increase in "free" testosterone coupled by a decrease in both estrogen and SHGD levels.

Hormonal Dysfunction

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is manufactured mainly in the adrenal cortex, and testosterone mainly in the testes in males. DHEA is regulated by corticotropin and testosterone, by luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (luliberin). These hormones increase sex drive and maintain libido. Lower levels of these hormones may result in loss of libido and abnormal sexual behavior in males.

As per the natural alternatives to increase testosterone levels, you have several ways: through your diet, vitamins and mineral supplements, phytotherapy, oligotherapy, and TCM (acupuncture). All these have been tested clinically and their therapeutic possibilities are known. Since, I don't know if your are only interested in the Homeopathic alternative, I am only giving you hints about the Diet.

If you would like to know more about the other natural therapies, let me know and I will post them.

Diet.

·Fat cells are loaded with aromatase storing large quantities of estrogen. The higher your percentage body fat, the more estrogen you can produce and the fatter you will be unless you control your diet and use supplements to lower estrogen production."

·Reduce the use of “dry” carbohydrates, grains, wheat and processed carbohydrates because they tend to bind Testosterone. Good water rich carbohydrates of vegetables and fruits encourage and create the proper balance of estrogen and testosterone.

·Fish is high in L-Dopa and helps release dopamine which greatly enhances testosterone levels.

Good luck,
