JAKARTA - Ginger is a kitchen spice that is not only useful as an increase in taste. Ginger has many other benefits, ranging from maintaining body health to increasing sex life.

The benefits of ginger in sex are revealed through research published in The Journal of Sex Research in 2023. Here are some of the benefits of ginger in sexual life.

1. Balance hormones

If estrogen levels drop, it can make you less interested in sex. This happens because it can cause drought and pain in the vagina during sex.

Using Ginger can balance your hormones, which are essential to maintaining libido and a healthy menstrual cycle. This will make sexual intercourse more passionate and smooth.

2. Provide antioxidant effects

Antioxidants in ginger can fight free radicals, unstable atoms that can damage cells, and cause disease and aging. This can help reduce cell damage and improve overall health, which can improve sexual well-being.

3. Increase blood circulation

Ginger can help increase blood flow, which is very important for sexual passion and response. Active compounds in ginger, such as ginseng, help widen blood vessels, thereby ensuring better circulation to reproductive organs.

To use ginger in increasing sex life, there are three ways that can be done, as follows.

- ginger tea. Boil a fresh ginger slice in water with tea leaves for 10 minutes. Then add honey and lemon to make ginger tea rich in flavor. - Smoothie ginger. Add fresh ginger to the smoothie that you usually consume, both fruit smoothie and yogurt. - Ginger in cooking. Add ginger to your cooking, especially dried ginger.
