The thyroid is part of the endocrine system, which is made up of glands that produce, store, and release hormones into the bloodstream so the hormones can reach the body’s cells. The thyroid gland uses iodine from the foods we eat to make two main hormones:

Triiodothyronine (T3)

Thyroxine (T4)

It is important that T3 and T4 levels are neither too high nor too low. Two glands in the brain—the hypothalamus and the pituitary communicate to maintain T3 and T4 balance.

So I’m going to save us the stress of all these medical terms. The thyroid gland is in a way responsible for hormones and libodo😛.Yes I said it…you read right

In essence, there are two things involved here, you can’t have too much of it and you shouldn’t be too low on it.

What does this mean? Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism, but I’ll be discussing hypothyroidism which is my business because this particular MR has been responsible for low sex drive in so many women especially pregnant women. You know those ladies that always complains of low sex drive and even dryness, no matter how much caressing they get from their man, na lie, nothing will work and even when they eventually oblige, it’s torture, due to dryness and pain.

So how did I come across this information, as you know I’m your plug for natural and safe aphrodisiacs, I don’t just mix herbs and spices together for mixing sake, I know what I’m giving out, I need to know the works of individual herbs and what I intend to achieve, in my research I found one of the ingredients I use in formulating my products helps with the thyroid gland, like repairing and making it balance, I was like..wowza, okay…The research spirit in me skyrocketed and went on to read about it and I was dazed, as tiny as this gland is, it has lots of benefit to the human body, isn’t God Wonderful?

Well, Thyroid disease can lower vaginal lubrication, which makes sex uncomfortable, painful, or unsatisfying, says the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA).

Hypothyroidism can decrease estrogen and testosterone levels in women of reproductive age. A low estrogen level is known to result in painful sex due to a lack of vaginal lubrication, and low testosterone can affect sexual desire and satisfaction; and they can both affect a woman’s ability to conceive.

Vaginal lubrication is important for female sexual pleasure. If the vagina is too dry, it can be difficult causing friction or irritation.

And in Men, it causes erectile dysfunction🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️.
