Sexy Nutrition: Avocados for Enhanced Libido

Avocado, the Powerhouse

The potent avocado feeds both men and women with a multitude of nutrients essential to a healthy sex life. Vitamin B6, folic acid, essential fatty acids and potassium, as well as other powerful antioxidants are responsible for the avocado’s significant effect on our reproductive organs. Research suggests that avocados even increase sperm count. The sexual powerhouse ahuactl (or testicle, as the Aztecs endearingly called it) also releases vitamin E, which allows the reproductive hormones to take center stage while arousing our sexual response.

How Bach Flower Remedies Invite Healing And Transformation

How Bach Flower Remedies Invite Healing And Transformation

Each of us is a profound, electric-Being, continually infused with energy from multiple realms. We receive energy into our physical and subtle bodies from the earth, and our hearts, minds, ancestors, and relations in the spirit, mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms. Admittedly, we are profound creatures with unlimited potential in any direction. 

Sadly, regardless of these positive aspects, we often disrespect or give-up on ourselves. We might stop taking supplements or refrain from exercising. We might enter into or continue to sustain unhealthy relationships. And certainly, we can ignore the modalities that can serve our happiness and expansion. Doing so, we might also misinterpret our poor health and disruptive emotions and choose non-action. Paralyzed by too much information or too many symptoms, we can remain tired, confused, anxious, lost, or disconnected. These types of things can happen to each of us. 

Bach Flower Remedies are a unique and powerful set of tinctures that were created from flowers to serve and heal our emotions and subtle bodies. They were built from nature and are infused with the life and life found in the earth and its elements. 

“There is no true healing unless there is a change in outlook, peace of mind, and inner happiness.” — Edward Bach
