If you want to boost your libido naturally, experts say that certain foods, spices, and herbs can enhance your sex drive safely and effectively.

“Some of these substances have undergone scientific scrutiny so we know the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of how they work,” noted expert Dr. Ellen Kamhi, Ph.D., author of “The Natural Guide to Great Sex,” tells Newsmax. “Others have withstood the test of time and have been used in many cultures worldwide. Humankind’s quest for substances that increase both the pleasure and potency of sexual encounters spans the ages.”

Here are her top 10 choices of natural aphrodisiacs:

1. Almonds. The aroma of almond oil has been used for centuries to heat up the bed chambers of many societies, says Kamhi. Almonds contain healthy sex nutrients such as magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids.
2. Avocados. The Aztecs called the avocado tree “the testicle tree,” because of its shape, but these tasty fruits contain the good oils needed for the production of sex hormones.
3. Berries. “Sweet juicy strawberries and raspberries are often associated with ripe sexuality,” says Kamhi. “Berries are high in flavonoids and vitamin C, which boost overall health, energy and sex drive.”
4. Chocolate. Often associated with love and romance, chocolate’s sensuous “melt in your mouth” texture lends itself to heightened pleasure. It is also rich in magnesium and other minerals and contains phenylalanine, the so-called “love chemical.”
