10. Libido Food: Ginger

In history King Henry VII and the ancient Asians were astute when using ginger for medicinal purposes. In the 21st century, those of us who know about botanical- ceuticals know that ginger helps circulation temperature adjustment, mucoid detoxification (mucus-like residue that can coat your GI tract) and also a libido enhancer. Whether raw, in supplement form, or added to your favorite recipe or drink, ginger also lends itself to defense against winter's hard cold and flu season. Because trying to get frisky with a runny nose never ends well.
