Do you feel like your séx drive just isn’t what it used to be? You aren’t alone — many people feel that way at some point in their lives. In some cases, a decrease in libidó may be due to a medical issue. For many people, however, the situation may be remedied without resorting to medication. Check out the top 10 natural libidó boosters, from Dr. Catherine Hood. You just may find one that puts the spark back into your love life.
10: Drink in Moderation
One alcoholic drink can lubricate a nervous first-date situation. By reducing anxiety and stress one drink can help get you in the mood for séx. But beware, alcohol is a depressant, too much booze and you can end up with quite the opposite problem.

9: Try Aphrodisiacs
There is no magic love potion but aphrodisiacs can be fun. Often they are foods that look séxually suggestive like asparagus. Others, like oysters, gain their love-inducing reputation by containing antioxidants and trace elements necessary for good séxual functioning. For example, oysters are packed with zinc, a mineral central to fertility.

8: Stop Smoking
It’s well known that smoking can have a terrible affect on blood flow to the séxual organs as it causes the blood vessels to narrow. It also saps your stamina and most people don’t like kissing an ashtray.

6: Lose Weight
Being overweight can affect not only your self-esteem and your feelings of séxuality but you’re likely to suffer from blood vessel disease which can reduce essential blood flow to the genitals.

5: Eat the Right Things
If your body becomes frail due to bad health, séx invariably suffers. Five to nine fruits and vegetables a day can provide the cornerstone to your health. The vitamins and antioxidants will help maintain good blood flow to the séx organs and prevent certain chronic diseases.

3: Yóhimbine
Long used in Africa as an aphrodisiac and often called natural Viágra, yóhimbine is thought to improve male impotence although clinical trials have been disappointing. There is little evidence that it works for women.

1: Feel Good About Yourself
Nothing reduces your interest in séx more than low self-esteem. Spoil yourself when you’re feeling down and take some time to relax or do an activity that makes you feel better within yourself.
