Mother Nature has been pumping out love potions way before Viagra has been on the market. The FDA refuses to certify anything as an official aphrodisiac, but time tested rumors say these substances have the ability to launch the libido.

Cayenne Pepper (Capsaicin)

This pepper is hot and in more ways than one. You may want to try this in the supplement form since digestion can cause problems. Capsaicin stimulates our nerve endings, raises our pulse, and makes us sweat.

Chocolate

Perhaps the most storied of the erotic foods, chocolate contains phenylethylamine, a natural antidepressant and stimulant that has been called the "molecule of love".

Coffee

Loaded with caffeine, a known stimulant, coffee is also associated with sexual arousal and energy.

Ginkgo Biloba

Typically used to treat memory loss, Ginkgo Biloba has recently been credited with stimulating the release of nitric oxide. Ingesting nitric oxide causes an influx of blood to special spots. Often prescribed to counter the decrease in sexual appetite caused by antidepressants.

Ginseng

This body-strengthening tonic ups the body's production of nitrate oxide, a key chemical component for erection. Ginseng also is well known for producing lots of energy essential for quality love making.

Oysters

Aside from being a sensual snack, oysters are a rich source of zinc. Zinc is a mineral required for the production of testosterone. Zinc is found in a wide variety of foods. Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food, but red meat and poultry provide the majority of zinc in the American diet.

Vitamin E

Within a decade, Vitamin E acquired a mystique as an enhancer and restorer of sexual and reproductive function. This image is reflected in its chemical name, tocopherol, from the Greek "to bring forth in childbirth" or, more colloquially, "oil of fertility."

Wild Yam

Wild Yam is also called Mexican Wild Yam or Damiana Leaf. This leaf balances human hormone production, and enhances a woman's sexual energy or libido.

Wild Yam also contains diosgenin, a steroid-like substance that when used in small doses in its natural form, increases fertility. Wild yam also has a reputation for sensitizing the genitals, as well as inducing erotic dreams.

As with any vitamin or supplement, please consult your doctor before taking. Author Beverly Terhune speaks from 35 years of living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and shares her experience, strength & hope on how to lead a healthy, substance-free life.
