oh, the magical ginger
Well, yesterday I had an epiphany in the form of ginger. I had had a lot of ginger tea - because of feeling sick - and yet, although I felt sick I could not take my hands off of him. Although it was kind of expected - he was away for a day, but still. I was acting out a bit too much on my primal urges. It was weird and nice at the same time.
Herbal teas and such had never worked on me before - well, to be honest, I am taking about 8 pills per day for my illness, so I never expected it to work, I never even planned it. But it bugged me and late at night while he was asleep I googled it and found that ginger is well-known aphrodisiac. It is warming (of course), increases the blood flow to your groin (heh, I said groin) and it blocks the enzyme phosphodiesterase, which leads to certain desirable vascular changes.
I was not surprised to read that it also works on your neural system and messes with your serotonin receptor.
So. Thanks to the snow and the winter we will be having a lot of tea and together time… Preferably tea with ginger…
