Regular exercise will probably do the most in that regard. It'll burn the fat that stores/secretes a lot of the toxins. Also, fat secretes estrogen, so burning it will improve everything from a purely masculine perspective.
Eat more fruit. It produces energy.
I think the herbs you're looking for are what are known as "adaptogens" (things that help the body adapt/relieve stress)
Some of the more widely used are

If you can't find them in a health store, you can probably find them here:

I've used this place for a while, prices are good, and they've never missed a shipment.
Also, when buying herbal stuff, stick to the name-brands (GNC, Nature's Way, etc) They use higher quality ingredients and have better absorption rates then the vast majority of the "cheaper" supplier. The absorption rates of the latter are typically between 20-60%. The name brands generally have 80% and above.
