Low sexual desire (low libido) can wreak havoc in the sex life affecting both the partners physically, mentally as well as emotionally. It does no good to the self-confidence either. Low libido in men or women can be an outcome of a host of factors. Many affected individuals, out of embarrassment, avoid seeking medical help, worsening the situation even further.

The state of mental health can have an impact on the libido. Chronic and severe stress, anxiety, and depression have often proved to be the worst nemesis, triggering a sharp fall in the sexual desires of both men and women. The other contributing factors for a low libido include a plethora of medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid problems, hypertension, erectile or sexual dysfunction in men, unhealthy dietary habits, and lifestyle practices. In women, insufficient flow of blood to the vagina can also result in low sexual desire, affecting their performance to a great extent.

Homeopathy to the rescue, giving a much-needed boost to the Libido:
When it comes to sexual problems, Homeopathy with its holistic approach emerges as the clear winner. People with a low libido have been able to enjoy a healthy sex life, all thanks to Homeopathy. The Homeopathic medicines used in treating low libido are natural and prescribed only after a thorough evaluation of the affected individual (including the physical and mental health). The treatment works by identification as well as the elimination of the underlying trigger for the low libido, thereby providing a permanent and long lasting solution to the problem.

Taking care of the diet and making healthy lifestyle changes can act as a catalyst negating the problem of low libido. Some of the healthy modifications emphasized by Homeopathy includes:

1. Knowingly or unknowingly, the food that we eat can affect the sex life. Seldom you will find a person who dislikes foods such as cheese, diet soda, coffee, popcorn (microwave), soy products, dairy products, processed and fried foods, chocolates (a big surprise though!), aerated and alcoholic drinks and beverages. These foods are often found to suppress or lower the testosterone level triggering the low libido. If you want to improve the libido include more of broccoli, watermelon, figs, eggs, cloves, raspberries (black), ginger, lettuce, or saffron, to your diet.
2. Take rest and do not compromise on your sleep (6-8 hours daily).
3. Keep a check on your body weight.
4. Consume alcohol in moderation.consult an expert
5. Exercise and meditation can relax the mind and the body to a great extent.
