Boosting your libido

Valentine’s day is coming and it can cause joy but it can also cause stress. Many of the solutions below are helpful for stress as well as sex-drive. Libido, or sex drive, naturally varies between individuals. Anxiety, relationship difficulties, health concerns, and age can all affect libido. While a low libido is not usually problematic, it can affect a person’s relationships and self-esteem. There are a range of effective natural supplements which can boost self-esteem, reduce stress and often increase sex drive.

Ginseng

Siberian Ginseng can increase sexual desire and arousal in both sexes. Ginseng relaxes muscles and improves blood flow to the genital region.

Boron

Many men who have low sex drive are deficient in Boron. This can lead to testosterone deficiency and lower libido. Boron supplements are available at New Leaf.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen which reduces stress for both men and women. When the stress levels are high, so is the blood pressure. When blood pressure is high, it restricts blood flow and is one of the leading causes of impotence. Ashwagandha can also boost testosterone levels in men. In addition to helping the body adapt to stress, ashwagandha has many benefits for women including gentle hormone balancing and reproductive support. It also assists with improving mood and supporting cognitive function.

Rhodiola

Rhodiola can boost sexual desire in both men and women and studies have found that it can be an effective treatment for premature ejaculaton and erectile dysfunction. Viridian’s Enhanced Rhodiola Complex also contains Ginseng and Ashwagandha or try Solgar’s Balance Rhodiola

Maca

Maca can also enhance fertility and sex drive. Studies have shown maca increases sexual desire in men and that it can decrease sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women.
