Libido boosting foods/supplements for women?

[Kaity]

If you research this topic through google, most of the articles talk about male sexuality and drive. There are ton of recommendations what kind of supplements or foods they should be consuming to increase their sex drive. Although some of these items could also be relevant for women, I'm pretty sure female sexuality needs slightly different approach.

Has anybody experimented with certain supplements or herbs/plants and has noticed libido boost? Any other recommendations besides healthy diet & lifestyle for fixing almost nonexistent sexual desire?

Zinc plus magnesium (zma) and ashawaganda

@Kaity  perhaps try to investigate the underlying a cause of reducing libido. No supplements will fix that for you. 

Is there any history of ongoing condition in your life or any symptoms you face on daily basis? (tiredness, weight gain, painful joints etc...) For example an endocrine disruption such as hyper/hypothyroidism (aka Hasmihoto's or Grave's thyroidism) or adrenal fatique could cause that.  

Also an approaching menopause depending on your age ofcourse.

I'm experiencing the same but it seemed to happen after some weird shit during a mediation session, Labido completely vanished, even the thought of sexual desires is making my skin crawl. 

I'm not looking for it because to me it's a desire anyway ? and if it does decide to magically return well I've opened my eyes to the fact the energy should be concentrated to something greater. 

Sorry I haven't provided any advice

In my opinion, you should check your hormone levels.

What are your experiences with ashwaghanda? Heard its legit and quite powerful but also about adverse effects like drowsiness and lethargy etc

It definitely improve root chakra circulation. For me it is good but i prefer to take it in the morning. But some people prefer at night. Everybody has to find what is good for him. N=1

@Charlotte
No worries, it's always nice to hear other people's experiences as well.
I think having the different phases of sexual desire overtime is very normal, but in my case it's never present and has only been couple of times throughout my life So I'm thinking that the absence of it is little "weird" since it's such a natural characteristic of the healthy functioning body.

Thanks for your suggestions!

It's actually not a "reduced" libido since it hasn't really been present in the past either. I'm in my early 20's, fit and generally with a good health condition. Never had any major health issues and I consider my body to be well-functioning. 

Yes, I experience tiredness and lack of energy which is why I changed my diet. It has definitely improved my energy levels + mood but the libido is still not affected. Since I have already tried certain psychological approaches without any success, now I'm thinking to focus more on my food/supplement intake and see if they can have any effects. 

But generally, I guess this is a very rare complaint and there's not too many information available about "non-existent"  libidos.

Shilajit = Destroyer of Weakness

If you get a good quality shilajit, you will quit almost all other supplements and stimulants for well being and energy. It really is one substance to rule them all.

viagra is the best thing you can get. there are a lot of types, i am using, for example, kamagra.

Maca is insane. It will turn you into a sex machine. I think it works on both genders but I can only speak for myself.

When I take maca, girlfriends tell me to stop taking it. Lol

If you've been on hormonal contraception "forever" for whatever reason, that could be an issue - although I suppose you'd think of that yourself.

I took a lot of maca but it didn't really do anything for my libido,  just gave me a natural boost of energy. it probably didn't work cause I'm 21 so I got a pretty healthy libido 

[MsNobody]

Exercise and maca powder. Careful with maca because it also makes you more fertile.

Also if you are on birth control that could be the cause, when you take birth control you don’t ovulate and the body thinks that since you are not ovulating there is no reason to keep libido high or renewing energies and you may be stuck, exercise is also something that awakens the sexual energy. 
 

You could also look up Tantra if you would like to understand more about the subject, this book is truly amazing

You seem to have a very high libido that influences your worldview. I remember a youtube comment of yours saying that it is normal for teenagers to masturbate like 10 times a day lol.

When I was in my teens and early 20's I could easily cum 5 to 10 times in a row back to back.
