Mama Love : Created Just for You!
Why did we create Mama Love?
Many women (especially postpartum and breastfeeding mamas) struggle with their sex drive.
If you feel like your libido is lacking, this blend of herbs is for you!
It can be hard to figure out what is causing a diminished sex drive, but this blend of herbs addresses the root causes. The main root causes of a loss of sexual interest are physical, hormonal, psychological, and emotional. Ashwagandha, Damiana, Shatavari, and Moringa all work together to address the root causes of low libido!
Physical causes include pain and discomfort. Pain can be caused by the other three root causes! But, if you just had a baby, and are having constant pain with intercourse you may consider seeing a pelvic floor, physical therapist. Pain can be common after delivery, but it is not normal! Keep in mind that there are many psychological, hormonal, and emotional aspects to pain, so this blend may still help support your body!
Hormonal changes are a HUGE factor in sex drive, especially in pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and menopause. Hypothyroidism and PCOS also greatly affect hormones and may cause a loss of interest. Hormones can often cause dryness, irritation, discomfort, and pain with intercourse. All of the herbs in this blend are excellent at balancing hormones as they support and nourish our bodies.
Psychological reasons for a lack of desire include fear, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. These are incredibly common reasons to not want to be intimate with your partner, especially after birth or while nursing. This season of life can often lead us to feel like our body doesn’t belong to us or we get touched out! Ashwagandha is the perfect herb to support your mind and body as you go through these changes. Keep in mind that it make take 6 weeks to truly notice the effects of this gentle but powerful herb.
Lastly, emotional factors are another contributor to a decrease in sex drive. Intimacy is often linked to how you and your partner have been interacting lately. Has there been lots of arguing? Any resentment towards one another? Have they been sleeping in while you’re up all night taking care of your new baby? All of these reasons and more, can affect your desire to be intimate with your spouse! But these wonderful herbs can help take away some of your frustration, and allow you to be more level-headed. (And if your partner seems to still be the problem, he might benefit from these too😉.)
What’s Inside
Let’s start with the powerhouse that is Ashwagandha! Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, meaning it helps our body deal with stress. As we touched on, stress has a significant impact on sex drive. When our stress levels are high, sex is put on the back burner. Ashwagandha can improve sleep and help manage anxiety and depression, all huge factors in a woman’s libido. It can support our stress response levels and encourage us to respond with more patience and grace. It also helps our body adapt to the stressors going on in our life, whether those include a new baby, a diminishing milk supply, lack of sleep, or a cranky husband. Guess what? Ashwagandha can help with all those things and more! It’s an incredible herb.
Damiana is considered an aphrodisiac. It can help increase relaxation while boosting energy levels. Many women (and men) cannot relax enough to “get in the mood” or simply “don’t have the energy.” While these are incredibly valid reasons not to be intimate, if you find yourself saying it every time the opportunity arises, Damiana may help you more than you think. Damiana is also considered an adaptogenic herb, which is known to help manage nervousness, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and sleep deprivation. Does that sound familiar? It also helps your body physically relax, so it can help with pain and tension if that’s something you’re experiencing. It works in harmony with the other herbs in this blend to support you.
Shatavari is another adaptogenic herb that is wonderful for general woman’s health and increase libido. Shatavari’s name comes from “shatawari” meaning “having one hundred roots, or “she who has one hundred husbands.” I’m sure if I had 100 husbands, I’d need an herb to increase my libido! What its’ name implies is that it helps women gently go through stages of transition (motherhood, menopause, etc) with the ability to have a wonderful sex life by increasing fertility and vitality. It is rejuvenating and nourishing, especially to the reproductive organs. It’s also great for promoting an increase in lactation in nursing mamas This herb can also aid in hormonal imbalances like those experienced after pregnancy, during menopause, and for those with PCOS. If your sex drive drops around menstruation, Shatavari may help! It has been reported to help alleviate the symptoms of PMS and painful menstruation.
Finally, we come to Moringa, another nourishing, supportive, aphrodisiac. We touch on the benefits of Moringa for milk supply, but its’ nutritional value isn’t the only reason that it is included in mama love. Moringa’s vast amount of vitamins and nutrients address any nutritional deficiencies that may be affecting your love life. It reduces stress and improves the serotonin. I joked earlier about having your husband try Mama Love, but Moringa promotes testosterone production in men. So if your husband is struggling with low libido as well he really can try this blend.
