There are herbs to increase sexual desire and sex drive. Many of these herbs can be taken as a tea or in pill form. It is never safe to consume herbs that are distinguished as poisonous, nor is it safe to consume topical solutions made from herbs. With that said, many herbs indicated here are available through metaphysical and new age shops, and all will work for women.

Ginseng

Ginseng is a well-known herb that enhances sexual pleasure and potency. Ginseng is a very heat-motivating herb (much like consuming a hot pepper), and when taken in pill or liquid form, it is fast reacting.

Ashwaghanda

This is equivalent to ginseng; however, it is much less heating. It assists in sexual desire and energy, and it treats impotency and infertility.

Ginkgo Biloba

Gingko biloba provides assistance in four sexual functions: excitement, desire, lubrication and orgasm.

Gentian Lutea Radix Powder

This supports all functions of the body, including sexual desire and orgasm.

Siberian Ginseng

Siberian ginseng is a tonic that restores body function in both men and women. It also influences the hypothalamus in modulating hormone release.

Muira Puama

This is an herb that is very popular with Native Americans, and the indigenous people of the Brazilian rainforest. It is known to be an elixir, and assists with increased sexual drive, libido and potency.
