Some days it feels like guys have it made. There’s no waiting in line for the bathroom. Turning gray is considered “distinguished.” And there’s always readily available advice on libido boosters from supplements to the little blue pill.
But that last one might be the toughest pill to swallow, because a lot of us ladies sure could use some tips on libido boosters too.
In fact, experts estimate that somewhere between 68 and 86 percent of postmenopausal women report a drop in their sex drive. And since many of us are reluctant to admit it, the numbers may even be higher.
Heat things up with herbal libido boosters
If you’ve been suffering in silence yourself, let’s make this the day you turn things around for good. Because if the guys don’t have to live with a sinking sex drive, neither should you.
And with these four herbal libido boosters, you won’t have to.
1. Maca root:
When it comes to libido, it’s not just about arousal. While it IS a necessary part of the passion equation, for many ladies it’s not only a lack of desire getting in the way. To heat things up in the bedroom you also need energy, stamina and to simply feel good emotionally.
That’s what makes maca root number one on our list of libido boosters. Extracts from the maca plant—originally a native of Peru—can help with all four items on that list.
Traditionally, this ancient root has been used to bump up energy levels and send stamina soaring. It manages this in two ways. First, it supports your adrenal glands to keep your engine humming all day long. Then it helps keep your blood sugar stable, banishing energy zapping spikes and crashes.
An Australian study of postmenopausal women found that maca root significantly slashed symptoms of depression, making it that much easier for the ladies to “get in the mood.” And then there’s that desire factor.
If your passion hasn’t just left the bedroom, but exited the entire building, maca can help with that too. Several studies have found the herb can bump up your libido and help you start feeling frisky again in as little as six weeks!
Look for powdered maca root, or supplements, in your favorite health store. Aim for two tablespoons of the powdered root or take the pills as instructed on the bottle.
2. Gingko biloba:
Mention blood flow and the bedroom, and most folks automatically assume you’re talking about men and erectile dysfunction. But blood flow is critical for a satisfying love life for women too.
Good, strong blood flow “down there” is responsible for that tingly sensation that makes you want more. Which is why gingko biloba scored a coveted spot on our list of libido boosters.
According to the Mayo Clinic gingko—one of the oldest living species of trees on our planet—contains compounds that boost blood flow and overall circulation. And you know what that means. More of those feel-good tingles!
For best results, most experts recommend taking between 120 to 240 mg per day.
3. Ashwagandha root:
While Western medicine is relatively new, India has been practicing a natural, herb-based medicine known as Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. And one of the most respected herbs in this ancient art is the ashwagandha root.
Ashwagandha is a master at multitasking and herbalists say it can be used to support emotional, physical and sexual health. And studies have found ashwagandha can boost blood flow while decreasing muscle and nervous tension. Which made it a no-brainer to include it on our list of libido boosters.
While most of the research on the potent root has been done on men, women who have taken ashwagandha report better blood flow and a noticeable boost in sex drive too. Plus, experts say it’s a natural stress reducer. Which means it can help erase the tension that’s standing between you and a good time.
Ashwagandha comes in capsules, extracts, or tea forms so choose your favorite and follow the dosing instructions on the package.
4. Damiana leaf:
Ironically, although the name damia, and its root word dam, mean to tame or subdue the damiana leaf does anything but. In fact, it’s earned a reputation for being the queen of female libido boosters.
Researchers from UCLA-Santa Monica say damiana leaf is one of the most successful supplements for post-menopausal women. Research has linked the herb to a higher sex drive. Some ladies say it works so well it can trigger erotic dreams if taken as a tea before bed.
Don’t let a sinking sex drive or drooping desire sideline YOUR love life. Reignite your passion with one of these natural libido boosters starting today.
