Natural Libido Boosters

Scientists predict that Viagra for women will be available by the year 2016. Although this pill aims to tackle both sexual desire and sexual function in women, a pill is not always the answer.

After all, look at the dangers that male Viagra has posed to men. Although it improves sexual functioning, it comes with side-effects that can be harmful to one’s health. A female Viagra could reveal similar problems.

Loss of libido is a natural occurrence and nothing to feel badly about. According to cardiothoracic surgeon and author, Dr Mehmet Oz, 40 percent of women will experience a decline in libido.

However, there are natural libido boosters that can help to get you in the mood.

Here are some natural libido boosters to try:

1. Top up on Zinc

Zinc is an important mineral that aids sexual functioning and fertility. Some great food choices that contain zinc include oysters, toasted wheat germ, roasted pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is a definite winner for another reason, too: it helps to increase dopamine levels in the brain, otherwise known as the ‘pleasure chemical.’ Try Woolworths Organic Dark Chocolate slab.

2. Run with More Than Your Imagination

Thinking about sexy things is definitely a good idea to get that desire churning, but also make sure your body gets a good run! Regular exercise is an important part of libido. It boosts self-confidence which can affect sexual interest, while also improving blood flow to the sex organs.

3. Get a Massage

When you’re stressed, chances are you book yourself in for a massage. Make it sexier by having an evening where you and your partner give each other full body massages. Massage can cultivate intimacy, which is a libido booster. Plus, being relaxed is an important part of sexual enjoyment. Throw in some organic massage oils, such as SOIL relaxing organic massage oil.

4. Sexy Celery

You might not think of celery as a sexy vegetable but it contains androsterone, a pheromone precursor. Pheromones are odourless chemicals released through sweat glands that can subconsciously affect the behaviour of your mate. Toss them into your salad to heighten sexual attraction.
