When you notice that your libido is going down or is no longer there, that is a sign that something is not working. It is very common that we have less and less libido. We prefer to do other things than have sex and be intimate with our partners.

Poor lifestyle choices, unhealthy diet, stress, imbalanced hormones, toxicity, and trauma reduce sexual desire. Fortunately, we can turn to nature for help. Nature provides us with aphrodisiacs in the form of food, herbs, and essential oils.

Here are some herbs that enhance libido:

Muira Puama

Muria Puama is also known as Ptychopetalum olacoides. It comes from the bark of muirapuama tree of Amazon river basin. It has a nickname as Viagra of the Amazon. It can enhance and stimulate a woman’s libido as well as support hormone balance. Muira Purama increases steroid hormones production, and increases blood flow to the pelvic area, which can increase sensation and sensitivity.

Muira Puama may be taken in tablets, caplets or liquid form. Check the instruction on the bottle. If taken as liquid supplements: it requires one to two-milliliter doses three times a day, while two capsules can be taken once daily.

Ginko Biloba

It helps to balance levels of estrogen and progesterone in the women’s bodies and can improve sexual drive and function. You can buy in caplets, and take it one caplet one to two times a day.

You can find damiana as the leaf extract or tea in most natural health food or vitamin stores. Use one teaspoon of leaf extract per eight ounces of hot water, in extract forms of one to two-milliliter doses three times a day and up to two caplets three times a day or.

Rhodiola

Traditionally used in Russia for energy and mood-boosting, which is necessary for wanting to make love in the first place. It boosts production of serotonin in the brain and may help block the breakdown of the feel-good hormones dopamine, which can promote female sexual pleasure. Can be found in capsules or liquid form. Diluting 20-30 drops in a glass of water is the recommended dosage for both men and women.

Mucuna Beans

Mucuna Beans in Chinese Medicine is viewed as a jing-enhancing herb with sex drive boosting properties, and it nourishes the most fundamental levels of the body. It has restorative effects on the brain, nervous, and hormonal systems. Macuna beans contain a significant amount of hormonally and psychoactive compounds like L-Dopa (as in dopamine), which also can be a powerful aphrodisiac. L-Dopa causes the brain to release dopamine, which stimulates the pituitary gland to produce human growth hormone. Human growth hormone promotes muscle growth, increases strength and raise levels of testosterone, all of which result in an increased sex drive. At the same time lowers levels of prolactin, which can reduce menstrual discomfort and associated weight gain in women and improve sperm motility, and hence fertility, in men.

Shilajit

Shilajit is known as an ojas-building substance, loosely translating to “vital essence or energy.” Shilajit comes from Nepal and Himalayan Mountains, and it seeps out of crags and split rocks at high altitudes. The matter is a prehistoric plant compacted in night-black, sticky tar. It is an amalgamation of essential minerals in a highly biologically active form.

It comes in a powder form, and it has a funky taste, so start slow and work your way up when you add it to your smoothies. Shilajit also helps with detoxification of heavy metals and toxins, helps boost your stamina and strength.

Ginseng

It helps menopausal women to kick up a sexual desire. Ginsenosides a compound found in ginseng has been found to promote the secretion of the adrenal hormone, which reduces stress and makes women “feel good.” It can also improve blood flow to the sex organs, a factor that promotes sexual arousal in women.
