Magazines remind us in length and breadth: it's summer and your sexuality must be unbridled... Yes, except that with everyday activities, accumulated fatigue and sometimes certain annoyances, the libido has packed its bags well before the arrival of spring! This is why we have chosen to take you on the path of plants, accomplices of a blossoming intimacy. They are natural and without side effects and, as their action is global, they take care of you, in all simplicity...
Fatigue, this couple's regular
Small breakdowns or total absence of libido generally end up weighing on the couple, either because we remember the pleasure of a fulfilled sexuality, or because the subject is sufficiently discussed in the media to make the one who abstains feel guilty! So to stimulate the body in case of "slackness", there is a plant that has seduced generations of men and women: ginger (ginger in English, andraka in Hindi). This fragrant plant is often used as a spice to cook good food. As its aphrodisiac virtues have no secret, in restaurants, the waiter always brings it with a little wink to the attention of the one who is going to taste it... Indeed, this root is a general tonic that warms the body, strengthens its natural defenses and awakens vitality. With so many assets, it prepares ideally the organization for a beautiful night!
Women's wellness
It is often said that women have their moods and that their sexuality is variable... In reality, it should be said that women have their life cycles, with a libido that is alternately unleashed or totally extinguished. To accompany all these stages which answer the names of "menstrual cycle", "pregnancy" or "menopause", there is a plant: the shatavari. It is generally used when the body and mind are in a state of overheating, exhaustion or imbalance. This plant, whose root is used, moisturizes the mucous membranes, which facilitates sexual intercourse since vaginal dryness is one of the reasons that slow down the sexuality of women. Another advantage, this plant is refreshing and extinguishes the fire of the hot flushes at the time of the menopause. Promise of its success, in India, shatavari means the one who has hundred husbands...
And for men
In the case of sexual breakdown in men, the causes can vary: fatigue, stress, fear of "not being able to do it"... In all cases, the manifestation is the same: there is no erection. As the male sex is a complex organ that hardens due to an interaction of psychological, endocrine, neurological and vascular factors, its activity sometimes needs to be stimulated. Ginger, rest and some sexual games can already act on the psychological aspect. To obtain a hardening of the sex and an effective response to solicitations, Ayurveda recommends a plant: tribulus. It is the protodioscines that promote the release of nitric oxide in the erectile tissues and provoke the erection. Tribulus contains several other active compounds including steroidal saponins, protodioscin and protogracillin. With these components, Tribulus has a unique biological action that is increasingly intriguing scientists and studies* are multiplying to justify its effectiveness.
Focus on Ashwagandha, natural aphrodisiac
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen plant with multiple effects.
Used in India for thousands of years, the root of this plant is known for its aphrodisiac, anti-stress and revitalizing virtues.
In the intimacy, it restores vigour to both partners. In men, Ashwagandha improves libido problems and erectile dysfunction. In the woman, thanks to its action on the thyroid, it activates the metabolism and the production of hormones, for a better libido.
