A slight drop in libido: take out the ginger

Thinking about it, there's one word we hear regularly when sex is mentioned. It is, of course, libido! In the coming weeks, it's going to yo-yo with this darn lockdown. So, keep your spirits up!

It seems that Freud was the first to use this term, which defines sexual desire. In psychoanalysis, libido corresponds to the energy of the sexual drive. In addition to having excellent psychological and mental health, each individual must be in top physical condition to maintain their libido. Everyone has their own trick: artificial stimulant, food supplement, or grandmother's secrets.

Three natural aphrodisiac foods to be at your best

Stress, fatigue, routine, and marital tensions are all factors that bother us and dampen our spirits. This famous libido! It's true that Lili Karantez is not a genius when it comes to scientific matters. Nor is she a doctor. However, she knows that there are three foods that have a scandalous reputation: ginger, ginseng, and oysters.

Ginger, already used in cooking in the 13th century

First, let's talk about ginger. Everyone knows its benefits. In reality, we owe the arrival of ginger in Europe in the 13th century to Marco Polo. This spice replaced pepper in culinary preparations. From that era, Lili Karantez has kept the customs and traditions, as she puts it in her soup in the evening. And yes, a soup, a pipe, and to bed! To stimulate your sexuality, you can also drink it as an infusion. The recipe is simple: pour 2 teaspoons of powdered or grated roots per cup of boiling water. Let it infuse for about ten minutes. Just before going to bed, it's a great stimulant or muscle relaxant. It's up to you!

Ginseng, a small course of capsules

Secondly, ginseng is well-known for being the universal remedy against fatigue and exhaustion. Hmm, that famous exhaustion. It even seems that Louis XIV only swore by this spice. We all know the sexual escapades of the Sun King. To avoid overdoing it, it is advisable to season your dish with three pinches per person. To be honest, a course in capsule form is also very effective and hassle-free.

And Brittany oysters

Finally, for shellfish lovers, nothing beats eating oysters, hollow or flat, regularly. Especially those from Brittany. Indeed, oysters are reputed to be aphrodisiacs due to their zinc content. They are said to promote sperm production. It must also be said that they contain dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter. Consequently, this molecule influences sexual desire in men and women. Eat oysters even during months without an R.

If Lili Karantez told you she lived in oyster country, what would you think?
