Herbal Aphrodisiacs: Natural Sex Boosters
In Greek mythology, the Aphrodisiac was a festival at which Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, was worshiped by having sexual intercourse with her priestesses. Throughout time, however, the meaning of aphrodisiac has come to describe any food, drug, potion, or other substance that arouses sexual desire. Most aphrodisiacs also heighten other aspects of sensory experience such as sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, and this enhanced sensory awareness contributes to sexual arousal and pleasure. Aphrodisiacs may directly increase the physical desire to have sex, stimulate the strength and endurance of an erection in men, and/or increase lubrication and genital sensitivity in women.
Are there natural aphrodisiacs that really work? Actually, there are a number of herbs that are considered to be excellent aphrodisiacs. Three herbs in particular have a long tradition of use by native peoples as natural sex boosters.
Damiana is a plant native to Mexico and the southern United States. It has been widely used as an aphrodisiac in Mexico for men and women. Damiana seems to have a positive toning effect on both the nervous system and sexual organs, with some users reporting that taking damiana an hour or so before sexual activity helps produce a more satisfactory experience.

Kava Kava is obtained from the shrub Piper methysticum, which is native to the Polynesian Islands. It has been used by the islanders as a religious and visionary herb and aphrodisiac for most of their history. Kava kava has the effect of directly increasing sexual desire and prowess and even increasing the intensity of the sensations felt during orgasm.

Yohimbe is an evergreen tree that grows in western Africa in Nigeria, Cameroon, the Congo and Gabon. This herb increases blood flow to the genitals of both males and females, giving women an enhanced sensation and engorgement of genital organs.

Herbs usually work in a gentle fashion, so don’t expect instantaneous results. As a matter of fact, because of their different metabolisms, some people may not experience any effects whatever, while others may find the results too potent. Use these herbs in a respectful manner and use them in moderation. Just as with almost anything else, overindulgence or extended use may have harmful side effects.
If you’re like many people, you’ve had a satisfying sex life, but deep down you know there’s something missing, something you still yearn for. You’re looking for new heights of sexual satisfaction. Don’t let another night pass without experiencing deep sexual bliss. Make today the day you take your lovemaking to unimagined levels of fulfillment. To learn Tantra sex tips that work, click here.
