With the Kama Sutra being so well known the world over, I thought I would look into Ayurvedic aphrodisiacs. After all, the Kama Sutra seems to have this topic down to a science, literally! So I wondered what would be considered an aphrodisiac. This is what I found.

First and foremost, it is highly recommended that partners be physically pleasing to one another (obviously). Also, cleanliness of the body (yes, please!), as well as attractive attire and adornments are a must, according the the Kama Sutra texts.

Amalaki is an herb that has been used as an aphrodisiac, and is considered an herb that will “awaken the body”. Be forewarned though, it has also been used as a laxative! Not so romantic…

Ashwagandha, also an herb, seems to be a general “wonder herb”. Used for many different ailments, aphrodisia is just one of it’s many benefits. You can purchase it in the form of tea at this web site. Just click on the banner.
While these herbs are said to help the libido, it is strongly recommended that you visit any Ayurvedic practitioner for the correct doses and formulations. Much of the time, a slow libido can be attributed to other factors that need addressing. A practitioner can help with this.
All that said… I’m still a sucker for a rose, some candles and soft music.
Have you tried any Ayurvedic aphrodisiacs? What worked for you?
