Herbs and spices have been used for centuries for their healing and health-boosting properties. A number of herbs and spices are recognised as aphrodisiacs. An aphrodisiac is a food, drink or substance that increases sexual desire. This can be accomplished through a number of ways, such as reducing stress, increasing blood fl ow, or positively affecting neurotransmitters – all of which are able to improve your libido!
A lack of sex drive is common in both men and women, although generally less so in men. Low libido can be caused by a number of factors, including depression, fatigue and anxiety. Like many other people, you may find that your sex drive decreases at some point in your life. This doesn’t necessarily mean that there is something physically or psychologically wrong with you, but at the same time it doesn’t mean that you will not benefit from making use of the herbs and spices that nature has made readily available to us.
Herbs and spices are widely available from supermarkets and health stores and come in various forms, such as extracts or dried powders – or they can be found fresh at some pow-markets. When making use of herbs and spices for their healing properties, their most potent forms would be either as an extract, dried, powder or a tincture. If you choose to use powdered spices, opt for ones that say ‘non-irradiated’. The process of radiation is to kill off any possible bacteria but at the same time it also destroys the medicinal properties of the spices.
Here is a list of popular herbs and spices that have become widely known for their aphrodisiac properties and ability to increase your sex drive.
