    Are there some products (in a pharmacy or in an herbalist's store) that can reduce excitement without medical prescription?

    You will get the best answer by walking into one. I am happy to have an excellent herbalist store across the street. Try to find a place where you do not need to talk to the person over plexi-glass and find a time where you can have some privacy before you ask. Even approaching with "Can I speak to you privately" may open the doors.

    AFAIK: Yes but you might not want to use them. There is no magic pill or herb that will reduce your excitement over the wrong things. These are psychological wires you have put into your brain and you need your willpower to work you brain up.

    You can sedate yourself, herbally or medically, but the taxation on all the other aspects of your body is going to be always a bit greater than on what you really want to address. Meds cannot single-out certain desires, they cannot even address just the sex drive - after all, non fapping zombie or fapping zombie is just a zombie.

    In the end, this is not what we want to do. We do not want to reduce our excitement, we actually want to increase it - in healthy and meaningful circumstances. You want to step out of your shadow, raise the mist, dust of the ashes - not cloud your mind yet with another thing.

    Oh how well I know I difficult it is. We all do. Best of luck to all of us!

    I perfectly understand... but, in the beginning of this difficult journey, it can help somehow. It's the same to say that I might not want to use ecigarettes to quit smoking. It's not necessarily right: the journey is difficult and quite different for everybody. Some people may prefer a way, other people may choise other ways... in my opinion, the most important thing is the goal, not the way to reach it!

    Wonderful post Purity, thanks for sharing. Insightful and explains more than just herbs.

    It is funny that looking for a way to reduce desires a "super potency extract" emerges as a solution. I would never give it a second look if I would not read your post before.

    These are all Chinese herbs, authentic TCM formulas. You could look to Western European herbs or Indian herbs as well, for "calming" and "stabilizing" herbs. Those are the primary effects you want to "reduce excitement".
