Ginseng

Studies show that 1 in every 4 women report experiencing low sexual desire and a lack of arousal. But this should not happen.

Every individual should enjoy sex and women are no exception.

There are a variety of different approaches that may enhance your sex drive naturally.

However, it’s important to remember that every person is different. It may take a little experimentation to find out what works best for you.

Eating natural foods promote a healthy sex life as they increase the blood flow to the genitals. The vitamins and minerals released by the food items are good for your body.

If you are looking at ways that can boost your libido then here are some natural foods to help you:

  • Watermelon

Watermelon relaxes the blood vessels to improve blood flow to the sex organs, which may enhance arousal. The phytonutrient citrulline in watermelon is responsible for blood flow which in turn, boosts the sexual stamina in women.

  • Banana

Just as it is good for men, bananas give women a lift to their sex drive. Bananas are a great source of potassium, a critical nutrient for muscle contraction which is very important for good quality sex.

Also, bananas naturally contain bromelain, which helps produce testosterone. Studies show that women with higher sex drives have higher testosterone.

  • Ginseng

You’ve probably seen a zillion billboards with ads about ginseng products promising to solve several diseases. You’ll be pleased to also know that it can do wonders for women. According to a study conducted in 2019, consuming ginseng naturally improves sexual function in both males and females by boosting sexual arousal and alertness.

  • Bell pepper

One large bell pepper contains nearly 600 percent of your needs for vitamin C. Vitamin C aids in blood circulation to organs and has also been associated with improved female libido.

  • Garlic

Garlic is chock-full of allicin, an active compound that increases blood flow, making everything extra sensitive to touch. It also stimulates blood circulation for stronger erections and greater endurance in the bedroom.

  • Avocado

Avocados are rich in vitamin B6 and folic acid, which help increase overall energy. While folic acid is a major factor against that mood-killing evening energy crash, Vitamin B6 also helps regulate prolactin, a libido enhancer.
