I'm Suffering From a Low Libido During My Menopause. Can Ginseng Help?
Although ginseng is not a true aphrodisiac, it could still help you rediscover your lost libido. Sexual drive is often reduced during menopause, caused by a lack of the right chemicals in your body — for instance, low levels of testosterone. To treat this, a true aphrodisiac, like crocin, is required to boost libido. A true aphrodisiac promotes and enhances sexual response.
Sometimes, libido can be lost because of mental distress. This is particularly true during menopause. Ginseng could help relieve you of some menopausal symptoms, thereby boosting your libido. Read on to learn how.
Why You May Have a Low Libdo During Menopause
During menopause your body goes through a lot of changes. Hormonal imbalances that happen at this time of your life can cause all kinds of problems for you; you may be pulling your hair out, either because you're stressed or simply because it's thinning and just comes out easily. Either way, menopausal symptoms can make you feel unwomanly and unsexy, causing you to lose your libido.
Ginseng has been proven to combat fatigue, one common symptom of menopause. Fatigue makes you feel like you have no energy, not something that puts you in the mood for love. Chewing ginseng root is the most effective way to release its energizing juices into your body and reactivate your libido. The taste can be quite strong if you consume ginseng in this way, so why not try making tea with it? This may slightly reduce its efficacy but it does enhance its flavor.
Another common symptom of menopause is vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness is caused by a loss of fluid in the vagina. This happens because of changing estrogen levels in your body that occur during menopause.
Estrogen helps to regulate the body's functions, like fluid balance. Ginseng is a ginsenoside so it can help relieve vaginal dryness by boosting estrogen-like activity in the body and rebalancing fluid levels.
During menopause, you may experience frequent lapses in memory. They can be very disturbing and can lead to stress and anxiety. These states of mind often push sex way down your list of priorities, but by mixing ginseng with the herb ginkgo you can leave all your worries behind you. The combination of the two has been shown by studies to sharpen your memory, improve your concentration and is already used in some countries to treat Alzeimer's disease.
