As is the case with men, lack of desire in women can be of either physical or psychological origin and is very common and in most cases temporary.

Here we are going to look at some natural sex boosters that will increase libido and satisfaction.

The American Medical Association has estimated that millions of US women suffer from what US doctors call 'female sexual arousal disorder' or 'FSAD'.

If you are in good health and simply need some help then these supplements are great for overall sexual wellness.

1. Gingko

Gingko has been found to help sex drive in both men and is now a popular sex booster and used by millions of men and women worldwide.

For example, a clinical trial of Ginkgo biloba extract with 63 patients found it to be effective in 84% of patients with antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction.

In the test, all phases of the sexual response cycle improved, including desire, excitement, and orgasm.

2. Arginine

Arginine is an amino acid, also referred to as L-arginine.

It is one of the more popular supplements for sexual dysfunction and has earned the nickname "natures Viagra".

Arginine is needed by the body to make nitric oxide, a compound that works to relax blood vessels and allow more blood to flow through arteries, including to the sexual organs.

In a four-week, double-blind study, 77 women with decreased libido were given either a combination product or placebo.

Women taking L-arginine showed greater improvement such as increased reported sexual desire in 71% of cases compared to 42% with the placebo.

They also reported improved satisfaction with their sex lives, improved frequency of orgasms, and better clitoral sensation.

3. DHEA

DHEA (dehydroepiandosterone) is a potent hormone produced naturally by the adrenal glands.

It is converted in the body to both the female hormone estrogen and the male hormone testosterone. Levels of DHEA decline naturally with age.

Because older peoples sex drive declines tests have been carried out to see the affect of DHEA Supplementation.

Research suggests that it may well help improve sexual function in women.

Physician supervision is strongly advised when using DHEA.

4. Ginseng

Improves sexual dysfunction such as in cases of anorgasmia and decreased libido in patients taking antidepressants.

The active ingredients, ginsenosides, facilitate the release of nitric oxide in blood vessels which increases blood flow to the clitoris, resulting in more intense orgasms.

Ginseng is known to possess phytoestrogen activity and is believed to help the body adapt to stressful conditions another passion killer.

5. Dong Quai

Dong quai or angelica, is considered the ultimate, woman's herb as a general blood tonic.

Dong quai contains vitamins E, A and B12 and rich in tannins.

Researchers have isolated at least six coumarin derivatives that exert antispasmodic and vasodilatory effects.

The essential oil in dong quai contains Ligustilide, butylphthalide, Ferulic acid and various polysaccharides.

These elements can help reduce blood clotting and relax peripheral blood vessels again aiding the flow of blood to the sexual organs as well as around the body generally.

Finally

The female Libido is extremely complex and may result from medical and psychological conditions and you should consult a specialist as with any condition.

The good news is that women in overall good health can benefit from the above supplements to improve mood, desire and sexual satisfaction.
