When it seems like it’s all systems go in the bedroom, the last situation we want to encounter is a lack of glide.
Of course, there are a plethora of lubricants on the market to smooth the way, but sometimes, taking a time-out in the middle of action to apply and reapply isn’t quite on par with the type of spontaneity that turns us on in the first place.
So what’s a girl to do when struggling to produce the juice?
Herbs.
We previously shared some of our favorite herbs for libido and desire, heat, relaxation, and more, but if we really want to amp up our game in the WAP department, there are some other herbs to add to your toolkit.
But here’s the pro tip: They work best when combined.
Slippery elm, maca, and ashwagandha are the ideal combination for keeping that friction from causing the wrong kind of heat, aka the painful and embarrassing kind. So much so, that Her Juice Bar has created a simple little capsule with all three to keep things simple.

Of course, you can easily buy these herbs in bulk and make your own tea or powder mix. Maca and ashwagandha blend easily into your morning coffee! Or, try a tincture or two to reap all the benefits. All together in pill form to throw down with your daily vitamins makes consumption easy to keep doing on the regular, as well.

Here’s how this combination works:
Slippery elm is a membrane protector, which means it makes digestion much smoother, but also other mucosal passages, ehem. (We know that’s not exactly dirty talk, but you get the gist.)
Maca works to reduce anxiety that leaves us tightly-wound, and it’s been shown to combat sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women and those with hormone imbalances. If hormones are behind a light-lube problem, this, paired with slippery elm, is a real love-life-saver.
Ashwagandha helps improve sexual satisfaction, which, from start to finish, enhances our ability to lubricate naturally. Because so much of women’s sexual pleasure is brain-based and tied to feelings of safety and relaxation, ashwagandha’s nervous-system-soothing properties work overtime to help us stay wet and reach orgasm.
Try doubling your dosage (two capsules, two teaspoons of powder, or two servings of tea) for a week or two. Then, go down to one dose a day for sexy maintenance. Cheers, ladies!
