THE CURIOUS CORNER 

Ashwagandha and Libido: A Natural Ally

Ashwagandha is well known for its benefits on libido, for both men and women. This adaptogenic plant stimulates the production of sex hormones, contributing to hormonal balance and overall intimate well-being.

In men, it plays a key role in maintaining sexual function by supporting sperm quality and quantity (1), thereby promoting fertility. In women, ashwagandha helps maintain reproductive health and has been shown to be particularly beneficial during menopause (2). Additionally, by reducing stress and anxiety, it can help stabilize emotions affected by hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle.

Since stress and anxiety are major factors in low libido, ashwagandha acts as a true tonic for the reproductive system. By enhancing both sexual energy and emotional balance, it supports desire and vitality. Its combined effects—stimulating sex hormones and reducing stress—explain its positive impact on libido (3,4).
