Although certain foods and supplements, such as chocolate, oysters, spicy foods, and saw palmetto, are claimed to have libido-enhancing effects, research shows that they actually have little to no effect on libido for both men and women.
While most of these natural products or foods are harmless, and it doesn't hurt to try them, you should be cautious of some products that may contain toxic insect or plant extracts. For example, a natural aphrodisiac known as “Spanish fly” can cause kidney damage and gastrointestinal bleeding. Additionally, some products marketed as purely natural libido enhancers may actually contain sildenafil (Viagra) as an ingredient. Taking such ingredients can have serious consequences for people with certain medical conditions or those taking other medications.
Therefore, if you want to boost your libido, it's best to consult a doctor at a reputable hospital. Depending on your specific situation, the doctor may recommend proven effective methods such as improving relationship intimacy, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and treating underlying medical conditions.
