Female sexual dysfunction has complex causes that make it difficult to treat. However, natural remedies may go a long way towards tackling this problem.
According to Jennifer Gunter, sexual health commentator for Examiner.com, an over-the-counter oral preparation of ginseng, ginkgo biloba, damiana, L-arginine, as well as 14 vitamins and minerals called ArgiMax has been shown to provide substantial benefits during a study conducted at Stanford University.
She says 70 percent of the women in the study reported improvement in sexual desire and 73 percent experienced higher satisfaction with sex life after taking the herbal supplement.
It is believed that the effect of the preparation stems from ginseng and ginkgo bilobas ability to increase blood flow to the genital tissues, whereas B vitamins support nerve health.
Some studies have suggested that dietary changes and exercise may help women struggling with a flagging libido. In addition to that, if stress is thought to be a factor relaxation techniques, massages or acupuncture may help alleviate some of the symptoms.
