Increasing libido?
In men?
In women?
Answers:
My presence seems to decrease libido in women. Perhaps that information can be used to figure out what makes the opposite happen?
Chocolate, bananas, oysters, fishy foods..anything that gets your endorphines goin (happy hormones!)
Saffron, a very expensive spice is historical known as an aphrodisiac. Blue lotus has a mild aphrodisiac effect. Oysters and chocolate are supposed to improve libido. The color red and ylang-ylang essential oil is also beneficial.
More than anything though I think that when you exercise and take care of your body by eating right and you're with someone who you're attracted to your libido naturally will be very active. A low libido sometimes is just your nature or it is a sign that there are deeper issues at hand.
I would agree with VelvetDreamIceCream that good health and a healthy outlook is the place to start for healthy libido. That said,
The herb Maca is reputed to help both sexes with desire and ability
Vanilla is a natural aphrodisiac fragrance
In essential oils, Patchouli can stir desire in either man or woman. Also Ylang-ylang, Jasmine. Clary Sage is a stimulant for some women, also Rose.
Also recommended are Aletris (women), Damiana (both, but esp. men), Mira Puama (both), Koren Ginseng for men, American Ginseng for either. For energy and stamina, honey, bee pollen & Kola or Guarana.
In cases of male impotence caused by medications, sometimes Gingko biloba is helpful to restore blood flow.
There are none. Generally good health and a good attitude will be enough for a healthy libido. If there are mental blocks or physical dis-eases, the libido will be poor. I once helped a woman suffering from nutrient deficiency to become a much more active partner. Her boyfriend wanted to know what I gave her and could he have some too. All she needed was to fill in the gaps with the missing nutrients in her diet. She also stopped taking massive doses of aspirin. She started eating sensible foods, taking supplements and a few herbs. It snapped her out of her problem.
Chinese suggestions are

Horny goat's weed(hints the name). I've never personally tried it, but I've hear that it's used for this purpose.
hi,
There are few foods and natural herbs that helps in increasing libido. They are as below:
* Ashwagandha's reputation as an aphrodisiac probably stems mainly from its ability to stimulate an overall sense of wellbeing.
* Ginseng acts as a tonic system balancer, a stimulant, and an aphrodisiac. Like gingko, it relaxes the arteries to improve blood pressure and circulation.
* For fruit aphrodisiacs, the banana tops the list. the chemical ingredients consist of chelating minerals and the bromelain enzyme. These ingredients supposedly improve male libido.
* Gingko nut improves blood circulation to extremities of the body. This helps in improving libido.
* Natural herbs like basil, cardamon, clove, garlic, ginger, ginseng, pepper, asafetida and saw palmetto are all good for spicing up your sex life.
Have a nice day!!
Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia), also called Longjack and Pasak Bumi, is a tree that grows in Malaysia and Indonesia . The root of this tree has been used in these regions for many years as an aphrodisiac and to treat various sexual dysfunctions. Scientific research in recent years has shown support for the libido enhancing and sexual health qualities of this herb.
Tongkat Ali has been shown to increase the body’s natural production of testosterone, the male sex hormone. Testosterone is responsible for the development of the male sex organs and maintaining the health of those organs. It is also responsible for the male sex drive and secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair and enlarging of the larynx (resulting in deepening of the voice.) Females need testosterone as well, although not in as large a quantity as males. Testosterone is responsible for a healthy sex drive in women and increases the sensitivity of the erogenous zones. Both males and females need testosterone to help stimulate the metabolism, support fat burning, produce red blood cells and stimulate muscle growth.

Ginseng may improve sexual dysfunction in both men and women and has been used for thousands of years in China for this purpose.
The active ingredients, ginsenosides, are again believed to facilitate the release of nitric oxide in blood vessels which increases blood flow to the clitoris resulting better orgasms.
Ginseng is known to possess phytoestrogen activity and is believed to help the body adapt to stress, which again helps female libido.

Dear kriz10 :
Ahhhh! What a truly refreshing Question is Yours!
I wonder why was I unable to find no one to state Seafood is Your best Choice for LIBIDO !
Many answers above are very good, but also many of them would mean You to go to a drugstore or herbalist!
Then, if You like Salmon, Caviar, Shrimp or even Mackerel , Tuna or Sardines, Seafood is the choice to go for sure.
Anything You do, just avoid MIGRAINE provoking meals :
