I want a hot night
To prepare for the night, pour a drop of essential oil of ginger into a cup of yoghurt, or dilute it in a half teaspoon of honey in a cup of tea.

Those times I am not myself
Stress and tiredness can cause a bad slump. Inhale some essential oil of Damask rose from the bottle at the end of the day for 2 to 3 weeks to get rid of fatigue. You can also apply it to the solar plexus: 2ml of essential oil of ylang-ylang, 2ml of essential oil of Damask rose, all of which should be diluted in 10ml of sesame oil.

I never want to have sex
In this case, it is better to see a gynaecologist, a sex therapist or a homeopath to identify the origin of the problem. "Some women have more concerns with their libido than others, but there are solutions to help them to have a more fulfilled sexual life," insists Dr Charvet.

You can also try: drink a cup of an infusion of cinnamon at about 4 pm, and another one at about 8 pm. Add in every cup a teaspoon of Acerola powder and a drop of essential oil of Clary sage. Be careful, the Clary sage should not be consumed in cases of hormone dependant issues or hormone dependant cancer.

It has gone wrong since I started taking medication
Anxiolytics, antidepressants, anticholesterol, hypotensors or contraceptive pills (especially micro dosed pills) and so on – all these treatments can cause disorders of the libido. Talk about it to your doctor. He could possibly change his/her prescription.

In cases of disorders due to the contraceptive pill: Take 5 granules a day of Follicunum 5CH to help the vaginal receivers in oestrogens to work better and to avoid vaginal dryness.

Since becoming pregnant, I have no libido at all
There is a yo-yo effect on your hormones and your libido is affected. To regain desire, inhale some essential oil of Damask rose from the bottle several times a day. You can also dilute 5 drops of essential oil of ylang-ylang in half a teaspoon of hazelnut vegetable oil, and in the evening ask your partner for a massage, concentrating on the vertebral column area.

I have had a blockage since the birth of my child
"Because of a lack of time, of energy or desire, sexuality can become a problem after childbirth," notes Dr Charvet. For more efficiency, homeopathy proposes a treatment adapted to every woman. "The decrease in desire and the appropriate solution depends a lot on what type we are. Those who are Sepia type will tend to avoid sexual intercourse because of vaginal dryness. The Pulsatila suffer more often from a lack of confidence in themselves, and from a bad image of their body. Those who are Nux vomica can be very sensitive to pain, after an episiotomy for example," says the specialist. Seeing a doctor is strongly recommended.
7/8
I am slow to start
A massage with aphrodisiac oil should allow you to quickly become more receptive. Mix 1ml of essential oil of ylang-ylang, 0.5ml of essential oil of cinnamon of China, 1ml of essential oil of ginger, 0.5ml of mountain savory essential oil and 30ml of hazelnut vegetable oil. Ask your partner to massage you on and under your feet, as well as along the vertebral column.
8/8
Since the menopause, it all goes wrong
You can try Lachesis 15CH (5 granules a day) + Sepia 15CH (5 granules a day, in case of vaginal dryness) + follicunum 5CH. In cases of hot flushes, of tiredness or of associated nervousness, it is better to see a doctor, even if your period persists.

Although Viagra for women still does not exist, essential oil and homeopathy granules can boost (or stimulate) our desire.

Do you want to awaken your senses for an unbridled night of passion or, more simply, to regain your desire? Here is some good news, alternative medicine may just be your solution.

To each problem, a solution

A busy schedule, stress, contraceptive pill, childbirth, menopause, painful sexual intercourse and so on… “For women reduction in libido is frequent, and often multifactorial, but can be limited most of the time by alternative medicine,” explains a gynaecologist and homeopath. Nevertheless, there is no miracle cure if you no longer desire your partner due to relationship problems. Nobody said that you should want to do it 24/7. On the other hand, ignoring a lowered libido is not a good strategy. “It is important not to let the situation get worse because desire is very fragile. The more we let the lack of desire settle, the greater the risk will continue,” pursues the specialist. While some cases require seeing a specialist, most of the time a little bit of help is enough. Have a look at aromatherapy and homeopathy, which offers a range of solutions to have an even more fulfilled sexual life, or simply to aid in gradually regaining desire.
