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!
