Sexual health is an often neglected area in India, due to the topic of sex being a taboo.  Some studies show that your sex-drive is a reflection of your overall well-being due to its link with the other hormones in the body. All the hormones in our body collectively affect our mood, consciousness and mental health.

Ayurveda has known the importance of sexual health since ancient times and used various herbs to not only increase sex drive but for overall nourishment of the reproductive system.

Here is  a list of the prominent herbs that are excellent for sexual health:

1 . Ashwagandha

Also known as Indian Ginseng, this is an aphrodisiac for men and increases blood flow to the reproductive organs and relaxes the nerves thereby increasing sex drive. You can take 2 gm of the powder in the evening or tablets that are available according to the dosage.

2 . Shilajit

This is one of the most valuable herbal remedies which is only found in the Himalayas. It is literally the fossilized remains of medicinal plants and is found in a resinous form. Shilajit can increase sperm count in men and ovogenesis in women. The recommended dosage is 300 to 500 mg per day.

3 . Hibiscus Flower

Hibiscus is used for hair growth and arthritis but its petals are also a good aphrodisiac. It also contains anti-oxidants that fight ageing and preserve youthfulness.Have hibiscus tea like the Egyptians used to by mixing powdered hibiscus petals with tea.

4 . Ginger

Ginger stimulates blood circulation to the pelvic area and also boosts energy levels. Mix half teaspoon of grated or chopped ginger with honey and have it.

5 . Shatavari

This one is more suitable for women though it has some effect on men also. It is a calming tonic that regulates the female hormones. You can boil the crushed roots on medium flame and drink the water or you can use the powdered form (3-6 gm) gradually moving towards a higher dose.
