Misty http://www..com Black Cohosh and Essential Oils Black cohosh isn't an aphrodisiac, but if you're approaching menopause and troubled by hot flashes or vaginal dryness, you may want to consider this Native American remedy for women's problems. It also alleviates PMS-related problems like mood swings, depression and irritability -- all of which can sap your sexual energy. Take two 500-mg capsules of dried black cohosh root every morning or two 40-mg tablets containing 2.5 percent triterpene glycosides standardized to contain 1 mg 27-deoxyacteine. You can also take 1 teaspoon of black cohosh tincture every morning. It will take up to three months to see results. Note: Don't take this herb if you're also taking hormone replacement therapy. Sometimes, even in a loving relationship, your romantic mood may need boosting because physical problems interfere with lovemaking. Here too herbs may be helpful. But before you try herbs, I think it's always wise to get checked out by your doctor to rule out any medical conditions that could affect your sexual health. And while you're at it, ask her about the prescription drugs you or your man may be taking. Sometimes they can affect desire too. And don't neglect your body's biggest erogenous zone of all -- it's your mind! Be sure to set a romantic, sensual mood. Use essential oils like sandalwood or rose to scent your room and be sure to shake a few drops on your linens. Give your lover a sensual massage with heated oil to which you've added a few drops of rose, amber or sandalwood essential oil -- and please turn off the phones, the beeper and the TV! Turn on some romantic music, and let Valentine's Day last all year long! http://www.prevention.com/healing/altmed/010110sa3.html Free online calendar with sync to Outlook.
