Our old wives' tales for increasing libido

Grandmothers knew things. A lot of things.
Before sex toys and libido supplements Before they appeared on e-shops, there were infusions, essential oil baths, decoctions made with ginger or ginseng…

And while some tips may seem outdated, many still have their place today to stimulate desire and strengthen the connection to one's body .
So, we've delved into ancient texts (and science too, we assure you) to bring you a selection of old wives' tales to increase libido , Powerful version.

Before we begin: it's important to clarify that a low libido isn't necessarily a problem or something that needs fixing. It's up to you to decide if it's something you want to change. If your sex drive isn't an issue for you, there's no reason to do anything about it.

Why does libido fluctuate?

Before trying to " boost " anything, let's establish a supportive framework:
Libido is not linear.

It fluctuates according to hormonal cycles , health problems, emotions, mental workload, hormones, fatigue, treatments, and blood circulation.
And guess what? That's totally normal.

In women, sexual desire is often closely linked to emotional life.
A lack of libido is not an anomaly to be corrected at all costs, but a signal to listen to .
And sometimes, a few simple gestures, inspired by the rituals of yesteryear, can really make a difference.

Natural remedies and grandmother's secrets: what does tradition say?

Grandma's remedies have always had a place in women's private lives.
Often passed down orally, these rituals rely on simple, natural ingredients, sometimes with very real aphrodisiac effects .

Here are the ones we like (and that we also approve of from a scientific point of view):

• Ginger : The king of stimulating spices. It boosts blood circulation, warms the body, and intensifies sensations. An infusion of fresh ginger or a few drops of diluted essential oil on the lower abdomen: a guaranteed "hot flash" effect.

• Dark chocolate : A bit of a cliché? Perhaps. But chocolate contains phenylethylamine, a molecule linked to pleasure. As a bonus, it helps relieve tension (thanks to the magnesium). Opt for versions with a very high cocoa content (70% minimum).

• Ylang-ylang : This tropical flower is known for its relaxing and aphrodisiac properties. Diffused, used as a massage oil, or added to a warm bath, it encourages relaxation and awakens the senses.

• Red wine (in moderation) : Some traditions recommend a glass of red wine to relax, loosen inhibitions, and rekindle desire. It's not a miracle cure, but in a romantic setting, and especially on special occasions, why not?

• Ginseng : Used for centuries in Chinese medicine to stimulate vital energy (the famous chi), it is renowned for improving libido, stamina, and overall vitality. It is also included in our libido treatment .

Plants, oils, foods: what to choose to rekindle desire?

Aphrodisiac plants are at the heart of grandmother's remedies. But beware, not all are created equal.
Here are some natural tips to gently increase libido :

• Cinnamon essential oil : warming and stimulating, it can be diffused or diluted in a vegetable oil for massage.

• Fenugreek seeds : rich in phytoestrogens, they help to regulate female hormones.

• Maca : nicknamed "Peruvian ginseng", it stimulates sexual energy and improves hormonal balance.

• Homemade aphrodisiac drinks : mix ginger, lemon, cinnamon, a little honey and… enjoy .

• Natural remedies : like our libido supplement, which combines several of these active ingredients in a natural capsule to be taken daily to awaken your desire naturally.
  
  

Practical tips inspired by the past (but useful today)

You don't need a cauldron to awaken your libido .
Sometimes, simple gestures make all the difference. Here are a few modernized grandmother's tips for your everyday life:

Grandma's tips for libido: do they really work?

Some of these tips haven't been scientifically validated. But their effectiveness doesn't depend solely on science.
They are based on centuries of tradition, empirical knowledge and above all, on listening to oneself.
