"Love requires all the senses, not the least of which taste!" - Anonymous College Lothario
I've said many times, in many post, that I consider myself a woman of science and technology (and I am!). But I also can't deny all of the insane voodoo I learned growing up with my crazy coven of aunts (my poor father... but that's another story)!
Anyway, these self proclaimed "daughters of nature" literally had a potion for everything, especially spicing things up in the bedroom!
(And considering how men chased after them, It's hard to argue with that!)
As a young girl this was all exciting and "witchy," but as I grew older I was lulled into the sexy world of wires and bolts!
Being a grown-ass woman now in her... (not important), I've started reconnecting with my "roots" if you will and started looking at the science the behind the "hocus pocus!"
It turns out, there are legitimate findings to my aunts mystical shenanigans after all. There are certain spices, roots, and herbs that will actually "jumpstart your libido!"
HOW THIS WORKS
Basically there are attributes of certain plants the affect the human body in different ways. There are plants that can cure migraines, stomach ailments, a bad rash, so it makes sense that there are those that will affect our sex drive as well.
Here is known list of those of just some of those:
Others not listed are: Cacao, Hibiscus, Hawthorne, Goat Weed, Sarsaparilla, Rose, and Angelica.
There are many tonics you can make with these ingredients but I'm only going to cover 2 really good ones. One for women, and one for men.
(This is just a post, not a novel after all!)
FOR WOMEN
Ingredients:
- 2 parts damiana leaf
- 1 part rose petals
- 1½ parts cinnamon chips
- 1 part shatavari root
- 2 parts hibiscus
- 1 part sarsaparilla
Directions:
Blend herbs together in jar.
Use 1 tablespoon per 8 oz boiling water, let steep 10 minutes, and sweeten with honey to taste.
FOR MEN
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground maca
- ½ vanilla bean
- ½ cup raw, local honey
Directions:
- Slice open the vanilla bean and scrape out the little black vanilla seeds.
- Mix the ground maca, vanilla seeds, and honey in a jar.
- Let infuse for a few days or a week and then enjoy!
Maybe you are one of those fiery couples who don't need much of a "charge" in the sack, but if you do need a little push, these should get you in the right place!
Like I said before, I don't particularly hold to all of my families wild beliefs, but having experimented with these myself, I know they gave me a little tingle in that "special place!"
Hopefully it works for you too!
