How to Enhance Female Libido naturally with natural herbs and supplements
Our society appears to be much more focused on male sexual performance and little discussion occurs on female libido and how women can enhance their sexual enjoyment. Lack or loss of sexual interest is certainly a major concern for many women, particularly as they get older and after menopause. Fortunately, there's much we that can be done to enhance a woman's sexuality. But first, let's discuss some of the major physiological aspects of female sexuality and function:

Natural female libido enhancers
There are many herbal and dietary natural boosters that really work. These include tongkat ali herb, maca, muria puama, mucuna pruriens herb, and the natural hormone DHEA. Consider additional natural herbs or extracts, they really work. Deer Antler Velvet is one option, horny goat weed is another option. Tribulus terrestris extract is an excellent herb for low female libido herbal treatment. In our experience, we have not found arginine to be an effective male or female libido booster.
   Many physicians are not aware of pharmaceutical medications that increase sexual interest in women except for testosterone hormone. However, there are many natural herbs and supplements that can help women who have low sex drive. Before we discuss the natural therapy options, let's review major physiological processes that influence a woman's overall sexual health.

Psychological
The causes of psychological low female libido are numerous, and it is difficult to list them all, but most often they are related to depression, marital stress or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties and stress, religious repression or limitations, or some type of mental illness.

Hormonal cause
Androgens, such as testosterone treatment, are a major component of female libido. Testosterone levels decline about 1 percent each year in men, which may contribute to lower male libido with aging. Testosterone also declines with age in women leading to a decrease in female libido. Women who have had surgical removal of the ovaries notice a drop in sexual interest. Replacement of androgens can be helpful in those with age related sexual dysfunction. Testosterone is available by prescription only. An over the counter hormones, such as DHEA, converts into testosterone and thus has a positive influence on libido. Pregnenolone is another over the counter hormone that may increase testosterone levels and thus enhance female libido.

Vascular
Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the genital region are a minor cause of female sexual dysfunction. For instance, medical conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes reduce blood flow to the genital organs.  An additional factos that can impede blood flow is surgery in the pelvic or abdominal area.

Neural
Nerve damage from disorders such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke affect the brain’s ability to respond to sexual stimulation. In women, abdominal or pelvic operations can occasionally lead to nerve damage.

Chemical
Some chemicals involved in the human sexual response include dopamine, acetylcholine, and nitric oxide. For more info on female libido. One can increase female libido by providing dopamine precursors on supplements that increase dopamine levels.

Medical conditions that lower interest and drive
Certain medical conditions reduce libido, performance, or enjoyment. These include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and neurologic disorders, and insomnia.

Drugs and prescription medications
Drugs that interfere include some anti-hypertensives, SSRIs, sedatives, and beta-blockers. Alcohol's negative affect on sex drive increases with age. Smoking can reduce genital blood flow.

Ways To Enhance Female Libido
Physical fitness positively influences female sexual desire and performance. Perhaps not directly, but indirectly exercise can help you sleep deeper which does wonders for sexual rejuvenation. Exercise also makes you feel better about your body, and this could also have an influence on your overall interest and performance.
Deep sleep is crucial for optimum female sexual function.
Eat more cold water fish for their content of fish oils. See diet for suggestions.
Do yoga, stretching, or relaxation exercises.
Keep an open mind and try to be non-judgmental.

Does Viagra help increase female libido?
Viagra works very well in dilating blood vessels in the genital region leading to an erection in men, however it does little to directly increase female libido or sexual arousal. New studies in women show Viagra not to be effective. Side effects of Viagra include headache, flushes, nasal congestion or runny nose, malaise, nausea, changes in blood pressure, irregular heart beats, visual disturbances including rare cases of blindness, and chest pain. Viagra may cause stickiness of blood platelets.
    We find natural sex boosters quite effective and preferable to pharmaceutical drugs in terms of increasing female libido.

Medical management of libido disturbances in treated hypertensive patients: differences between men and women.
Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss. 2003.
In 428 hypertensive subjects, living in France and referred to hypertension specialists, a self-administered questionnaire evaluating the quality of sexual activity was given before the consultation. Nine specific questions focused on the quality of libido for the last 6 months in men or women (interest for sexuality, libido , sexual pleasure). Secondly, the doctors were questioned about their management of these libido disturbances. In this population of treated hypertensives, including 270 men and 158 women, with a blood pressure level of 139 mmHg, a decrease in libido  was reported by 47% of men and 48% of women. Libido disturbance was related to antihypertensive drugs in 46% of cases, more often in men (59%) than in women (24%). In subjects with libido disturbance, a specific medical management has been proposed in 35% of cases, especially in men (in 46% of cases, and consisted in a specialized consultation for 34% and/or the prescription of Sildenafil for 20%. In women, the lack of management of these libido troubles was more often observed than in men (82% vs 54%). Modifications of antihypertensive treatments were rarely observed in 15% of cases comparatively in men and women. Men and women with treated hypertension are at "high risk" of libido disturbance. Management of libido dysfunction in these subjects concerns only 35% of cases, especially men, including specific treatments and/or consultations, but changing in antihypertensive drugs still remains rare.

Female Libido higher during most fertile days
Biological factors appear to increase the likelihood that a woman will have a higher libido and engage in sexual intercourse during her most fertile days rather than at other times, according to the results of a new study. Therefore, women who don't want to become pregnancy should be aware that a single episode of unprotected sex may be more risky than chance alone would dictate. In a variety of mammals, intercourse is coordinated with ovulation through different mechanisms, such as an increase in libido during the fertile period.

Radical hysterectomy seems associated with a disturbed vaginal blood flow response during sexual arousal. This might be related to loss or disruption of nerves to and from the vagina.
