Shatavari
Botanically known as Asparagus racemosus, Shatavari supports the reproductive system and increases blood flow to the pelvic area, which heightens sensation and aids with lubrication. In Ayurverdic medicine, Shatavari is known as an aphrodisiac for women and is thought to promote female arousal and support healthy menstrual cycles.
Damiana
Native to the Caribbean, Damiana has been used as an aphrodisiac for centuries. It is thought to increase stamina, battle sexual impotence and premature ejaculation, and enhance sensual touch. Always follow our herbalist’s recommendations when taking Damiana (or any herbs!). In large quantities, it can cause hallucinations.
Tribulus
Ancient Indian and Chinese cultures used Tribulus terrestris to treat sexual dysfunction and support healthy libido. Introduce Tribulus to your wellness routine for stronger erections and better sexual performance. Scientists also claim that Tribulus can improve semen quality in men and increase male fertility.
Ashwagandha
Kama Sutra, one of the most famous texts on sexuality, mentions Ashwagandha as a powerful aphrodisiac for male health. It is thought to boost sex drive and increase testosterone levels and sperm count. Ashwagandha is an apoptogenic herb, which means that it helps your body fight stress and inflammation, lowering cortisol levels and resulting in better mood and desire.
Ashwagandha is one of the main ingredients in our Kama Sutra tincture, a natural love potion. Enjoy it daily with your partner to stimulate your senses and increase sex drive.
Muira Puama
An important herb in Brazilian folk medicine, Muira Puama is thought to increase female libido, especially if its loss is related to aging or stress.
Catuaba
Literally meaning “what gives strength to the Indian,” Catuaba is tree bark from Brazilian rainforest. It has been used by the Tupin Indians of Brazil to combat sexual weakness and lack of desire.
Ylang Ylang
Ylang Ylang essential oil facilitates connection between you and your partner with its robust aroma. It also promotes self-acceptance, allowing you to be more open and confident in the bedroom. Add Ylang Ylang to your bath or an oil diffuser. Alternatively, use it to give your partner an intimate massage.
