Here are some of the benefits of fenugreek for sexual desire.
- Hormone balance
A study published in the Journal of Sports Science and Health found that fenugreek can regulate testosterone levels in men, helping to increase libido and improve erectile function. For women, it can help balance estrogen levels, a hormone necessary for sexual arousal, reduce menopausal symptoms and improve sexual pleasure.
- Increase energy levels
Fenugreek helps regulate blood sugar levels and boosts energy levels, which in turn, helps boost libido, says gynaecologist Dr Pooja Thukral at Cloudnine Group of Hospitals.
- Reduce stress and anxiety
According to a study published in the journal Molecules, certain compounds in fenugreek can interact with neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which play an important role in regulating mood and emotions. Therefore, fenugreek helps reduce stress, anxiety and increase sexual desire.
