Exercise

Taking care of yourself is probably the most important measure you can take for your sexual health. Exercise increases blood flow and circulation to all parts of the body, including your sexual organs. Not to mention the mass amount of endorphins or “feel good” chemicals being released, you’ll also look good and feel better which is the absolute best way to increase your libido naturally.

 

Aphrodisiacs

Now, we make no clam to “magic love potions” but Aphrodisiacs have been used for decades to heal, relax, revitalize and energize. Chocolate (our favorite sweet treat) helps to release serotonin, the feel-good chemical that helps to set the mood.  And did you know the scent of vanilla excites a woman? Why not try vanilla scented massage oils to help boost sexual desire.

 

Massage

Massage techniques can do wonders for sexual arousal especially if you’re feeling run down do to stress levels, anxiety or tension. Massage candles are a great way to add ambiance as well as incorporate aphrodisiacs scents plus most massage candles are infused with pheromones, a chemical released from the body that attracts the opposite sex.

Damiana has long been claimed to have a stimulating effect on the libido as well as being particularly useful in re-stimulating the sexually exhausted. Guarana has been linked to increased memory retention, physical endurance as well as lowering the body’s inhibitions, similar to alcohol, but without impairing judgment.
