Ashwagandha to Maca Root; 7 herbs that can increase women’s sex drive

To build a healthy relationship with your partner, and to improve overall well-being, a healthy sex life is considered essential. If your sex drive is dropping drastically, there is no need to panic.

Diet and exercise offer the best solutions for stimulating sexual desire; yet some herbal tools may also give support. When you need a little increase, turn to these seven herbs for help.

Ashwagandha Root

The herb improves the smooth flow of blood to the clitoris.

Suma Root

It is also known as ginseng; it is also associated with sexual benefits by enhancing sex drive in women.
 

Maca Root

Maca's high iodine content supports a woman's hormone balance, and its high zinc levels, an essential mineral for sex hormones, does more than fan the flames of desire.

Tongkat Ali

It's traditionally provided to women undergoing a phase of low libido, as it also supports positive responses to stress and incites memory and overall brain function.

Oats

Oats contain a powerful antioxidant, beta-glucan that lowers cholesterol levels and keeps the heart as fit as a fiddle.

Muira Puama

Women who use this herb report a surge in libido, desire, sexual enjoyment and enhanced orgasms. Its effect on both pre and post-menopausal sexual experience supports its overall benefits for women’s sexual and reproductive health.
 

Catuaba

The active compound present in Catuaba energizes and excites libido and desire. Research has determined it increases dopamine levels in the brain, resulting in greater sensitivity to erogenous stimulation.
