If your sex drive isn’t what it used to be, you are not alone. Many people experience symptoms of a low libido, or sex drive, in their lifetime. For some, a low sex drive can be remedied with lifestyle changes like healthy eating, exercise and vitamins. However, some people require more stringent remedies like over-the-counter drugs or prescription strength supplements.
Here are a few simple yet effective methods you can try to nourish your adrenals and boost your libido.

Drink in moderation: Reducing anxiety and stress one drink can help get you in the mood for sex, but too much alcohol can actually have the opposite effect.
Try aphrodisiacs: Love potions aren’t real, but aphrodisiacs like oysters are good because they contain antioxidants and zinc which is ideal for sexual function.
Quit smoking: Smoking has a negative effect on the blood flow to sexual organs which causes the blood vessels to narrow. It also decreases your stamina.
Get fit: Routine exercise helps improve blood flow to sexual organs. It also helps you feel good about yourself, which in turn, helps improve libido.
Eat right: Poor overall health ultimately means low or no sex drive. Eating fruit each day and taking vitamins as well as antioxidants ensures adequate blood flow to the sex organs.
Get a massage: Stressed out? That’s one good reason why libido can be consistently low. Various massage techniques can boost sexual arousal, so give it a try.
Give gingko biloba a try: Made from the leaves of a gingko biloba tree, this herbal remedy improves blood flow to sexual organs and is believed to enhance desire, excitement and orgasms.
