What Are Aphrodisiacs?
Aphrodisiacs are certain types of food believed to enhance performance and stimulate desire. Although food plays an important role in our overall wellbeing, aphrodisiacs are specifically known for their centuries-long reputation for relieving stress, improving circulation, and addressing some of the underlying issues that may cause decreased libido. While they may help address some matters, it's important to note that aphrodisiacs are not an instant solution and may not work for everyone. If you're open to adventure and trying new experiences, we suggest trying out our recommended 5 aphrodisiac foods and observing if they make a difference for you!
5 Aphrodisiacs To Try
1. Pressed Love Shot
Celebrate romance with the sweet wholesomeness of our Love Shot! Experience the decadence of this antioxidant-packed blend with notes of milk chocolate, herbs, and just the right amount of sweetness to be struck by Cupid’s arrow. This charming wellness shot contains a potent blend of horny goat weed powder, maca root powder, and damiana powder to elevate any celebration with sweet sips of earthy flavors.
2. Honey
Did you know the term ‘honeymoon’ derives from the centuries-old belief that honey (specifically honey wine called Mead) can bring virility to newlyweds? This solidifies honey’s aphrodisiac reputation, along with its long-standing symbol of fertility in various cultures. But is there any validity to these claims? According to a study, honey can help promote and maintain reproductive health in both men and women. Additionally, honey contains boron, a mineral that has been studied to positively impact bone formation for better muscle coordination, which may affect your performance in the bedroom.
3. Watermelon
Watermelon contains an amino acid called citrulline, which is believed to reduce fatigue and promote blood flow. This functional compound is known to improve circulation throughout the body and relax and dilate blood vessels, which can stimulate arousal for a juicy night! Plus, antioxidants within watermelon, like lycopene, can improve hormone balance, which may help support a healthy sex drive!
4. Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is a viral adaptogen with a recent rise in popularity due to its calm-supporting benefits. Mainly found in India, this herb is commonly used to help alleviate everyday stressors and anxieties. If stress and anxiety weren't painful enough, it could also be the cause of decreased sex drive. Although not a libido booster, Ashwagandha’s mood-relaxing properties can help ease stress interfering with hormone levels, which may lead to better sexual health.
5. Ginger
Fresh ginger has been commonly used for treating many ailments, from nausea and gut issues to reducing inflammation, but this superfood offers many more benefits! Fresh juice from ginger root is an active component and may help boost blood circulation by expanding blood vessels and increasing sensitivity in the body.
