Lifting Libido – Naturally
Love your body affirmations:
“My body deserves love. I am perfect, whole, and complete just the way I am. I am beautiful, and I appreciate everything my body does for me.”
Human connection; we learn from it, we desire it, we find our true selves in concert with it. Human connection comes in many forms. We connect mentally through actions and words. We connect physically through touch and intimacy. What can we do if our desire for physical intimacy is lacking?
Maca Root
Maca plant is a cruciferous plant that grows in the Andes Mountains of Peru. The root is a potent libido booster. Studies have shown that people who incorporated maca root into their daily ritual had increased libido. Maca root powder can easily be added to your post-workout smoothie or even taken in capsule form.
Damiana Leaf
Damiana Leaf comes from a shrub with fragrant yellow flowers found mainly in Central America and the Caribbean. Damiana Leaf Tea has been used for centuries to increase a woman’s sexual desire and heighten arousal. As an added bonus, Damiana Leaf is a known mood enhancer. You can consume it as tea, a tincture, or a capsule.
Catuaba
Catuaba is made from the bark of trees that are native to the Brazilian rainforest. It has a centuries-long history of being used as libido booster and has been shown to increase sensitivity to intimate touch. Catuaba users that ingest it as part of their daily ritual also report an increase in erotic dreams, more intense orgasms, and more sexual satisfaction. Catuaba can become part of our daily ritual as a capsule, extract, or powder.
Mindfulness
Oftentimes our lack of libido can be tied to our mind-clutter. Stress in our daily lives, conflict in relationships, and even lack of alone time can decrease our desire. Taking time to deep dive into our blocks around desire can open us back up to intimacy. Journaling, meditating, visualization, and breathing exercises can all help to boost our libido.
Our desire for connection and physical intimacy is natural and real. To nurture our whole self, we must nurture our desires.
