“…One study showed that aphrodite improved sexual desire and orgasm in postmenopausal women after four weeks of intervention (27). Also, a study by Safavi et al in 2018 showed that rose, ginger, and cinnamon drops improved sexual desire, orgasm, arousal, and intercourse pain in women of childbearing age (23). According to the results obtained in the present study and the research mentioned above, it can be concluded that cinnamon generally improves sexual function.…”

“…According to the presented data, cinnamon improved sexual function after three months. In this regard, the study by Safavi et al showed that the total score of sexual function in women of reproductive age increased after two months of cinnamon drops (23). There is no study about the effect of cinnamon on sexual function, so it was impractical to review our result and compare it to other studies.…”

“…Lubrication and sexual satisfaction scores increased in the cinnamon group, while a study by Safavi et al in 2018 also showed that two months of cinnamon drops increased lubrication and sexual satisfaction in women of childbearing age (23). Also, in the study by Taavoni et al in 2014, the results showed that aphrodite improved the sexual satisfaction of postmenopausal women, which was also statistically significant (26).…”

Background: Sexual dysfunction is one of the most common problems following menopause. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cinnamon and vitex on improving sexual function in postmenopausal women. Methods: This study was a randomized triple-blind clinical trial with a control group. Randomized sampling was used to allocate postmenopausal women into three cinnamon, vitex, and placebo groups of 35. A sexual function index was utilized before and two and three months after the intervention to assess sexual functioning. SPSS version 21 software was used for analysis. Results: The mean age was 54.45 ± 3.73 years. The overall sexual function score in the two cinnamon and vitex groups showed a statistically significant difference before and after treatment compared to the placebo group (P < 0.00). In the vitex group, sexual desire (P = 0.00) and arousal (P = 0.02) increased significantly compared to pre-intervention, and this significant increase was observed in the cinnamon group in lubricity (P = 0.00) and sexual satisfaction (P = 0.03). Conclusions: Cinnamon and vitex are effective medicinal herbs to alleviate sexual function.

“…Ginger (Zingiber officinale; Z) may hold potential as an inexpensive but effective treatment to improve sexual behavior of human. Z has been perceived as a treatment for "sexual frigidity" by practitioners of traditional herbal medicine with anecdotal success for this purpose [20][21][22].…”

“…However, due to a lack of a control group, no causal conclusion about ginger's effect can be drawn from this study. In the only placebo-controlled study to date, Shabanian and co-workers [22] recruited 140 depressed women with decreased sexual desire and found that Z was associated with improved self-reported sexual desire, sexual arousal, lubrication, orgasm function, sexual satisfaction, and reduced pain associated with intercourse. However, improvements in sexual arousal, lubrication, and sexual satisfaction were also observed in the placebo group.…”

Sexual dysfunction, a globally widespread concern, is associated with numerous negative outcomes. While some evidence indicates the potential of ginger supplementation to enhance sexual function, comprehensive research in this area remains scarce and the potential mechanism behind is unclear. The current study aimed to explore if and how consumption of ginger as part of a daily diet is associated with sexual desire, frequency of sexual behavior, as well as sexual arousal and disgust experienced during these behaviors. Chinese participants (N = 499; 250 women) from an online sample service (Credamo) answered a cross-sectional survey regarding their consumption of ginger, sexual behavior, and sexual desire. Ginger consumption was associated with higher sexual desire, and more frequent sexual behaviors, as well as feelings of sexual arousal during them. Sexual desire and feelings of sexual arousal during specific sexual activities mediated the association between the ginger consumption and the frequency of sexual behaviors, indicating potential pathways of the effects of ginger on sexual behavior. Interestingly, while ginger consumption showed no direct relationship with feelings of disgust during sexual behavior, sexual arousal during these behaviors did positively mediate the association between ginger consumption and feelings of disgust. The findings imply that ginger shows potential as an intervention for enhancing sexual behavior, but further experimental and longitudinal research is needed to fully understand the causal mechanisms underlying the effects of ginger on sexual health.
