Along with aromatherapy, herbs can also be helpful to the libido. I don't have any herbal training, yet, but would love to become more familiar with this subject in the complementary health field. Reading this article by Carly Young brought these herbs to the forefront. The article cautions that you should consult your doctor before taking any herbs or supplements. It also states that it may take a few weeks for these to work to their full capacity. Many of these I had never heard of, and I really liked the fact that she included many different types of herbs that give different responses as couples have different areas of needs surrounding their physical intimacy.

1. Yohimbe
Derived from the bark of African evergreen trees, yohimbe has long been used in fertility celebrations. Like Viagra, yohimbe dilates blood vessels, which can help your guy overcome impotency, Hadady explains. But don't let him hog this herb - it also helps increase the blood flow your genitals and sharpens your senses - an aphrodisiacal double - whammy.
2. Ashwagandha
This Indian herb offers solace when you're "stressed burned out and exhausted," says Hadady. Its tranquilizing properties help you shrug off the cares of the day and get in a sultry state of mind. And it soothes tired, sore muscles so you can focus on other parts of your body!

3. Shatavari
Commonly known as wild asparagus, this herb has been nicknamed "wife with 1,000 husbands," but it works just as well for monogamous types. Found in the jungles of India, shatavari is a moistening herb. Taking it over time will give you more lubrication, making lovemaking more comfortable, Hadady says.

4. Shilajit
A byproduct of coal, shilajit has been prized for centuries in India. Like shatavari, it's a moistening herb and will not only benefit you below the belt, but all over your entire body, rejuvenating hair, skin and nails. Bonus: It doubles as an anti-wrinkle and anti-aging treatment, Hadady says.
