Ginseng can improve sexual health and address low libido.
Ginseng is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and maintain balance. Chronic stress can lead to hormonal imbalances, including cortisol and sex hormone levels, which can negatively impact libido. By reducing the effects of stress, ginseng may help restore balance to hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, all of which play key roles in sexual desire.
Some studies suggest that ginseng may support estrogen production or mimic estrogenic effects in the body, potentially helping women with hormonal fluctuations (e.g., during menopause) maintain a healthy libido.
Research suggests that ginseng can increase sexual arousal, sensitivity, and orgasmic function in women, possibly by improving blood circulation and affecting hormonal balance.
