Geisha's Sexy Nutrition Tips: GINGER

According to yogic nutrition, ginger root is good for general sexual strength.  When taken raw (juiced) or cooked, it helps build a strong nervous system.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, ginger has a warming effect on the body and is good for circulation.  Ginger tea is often prescribed for colds/flu, menstrual cramps, and also to strengthen the nervous system.  In sexual terms, good circulation means optimal blood flow to the penis during arousal.  Have I got your attention?

Geisha’s tip: Drink tea with fresh ginger instead of coffee for your morning perk.

I love the taste of coffee but after I heard that it negatively affects a woman’s ability to have an orgasm I looked for healthier alternatives.  I drink homemade Yogi Tea every morning.  You can also find Yogi Tea in bags in health food stores or online.

Yogi Tea Recipe

(adapted from a Kundalini Yoga Recipe)

Ingredients:

15         cloves

20         green cardamom pods (slightly crushed)

20         black peppercorns

1-3     cinnamon sticks (depending on the size)

8         ginger root slices (I always add more because I like ginger and it’s good for me)

2 L         water

2 tsp Black tea (I use green tea for its added health benefits)

        Milk (I use almond milk because it’s vegan)

Directions:

Place the first 6 ingredients in a pot and cover until it comes to a rolling boil.

Lower the heat to let the tea simmer for 20 minutes or so.

Add the tea and and let it steep for a few minutes.

You can enjoy it hot as is or with a little milk & honey - Mmmm.

Or let the pot cool and refrigerate the tea.

If I’m in a hurry in the morning, I put about ¾ tea with ¼ almond milk into a little bottle and take it to go instead of buying coffee.  There is so much flavor I don’t even add sweetener.
