    I did a simple Google about herbs that may suppress Libido .
    Here's what I found .

    Although many women would prefer to find herbs that would increase their libido, some people prefer to quell this physical urge. You may simply wish to know which herbs might have the side effect of reducing your sex drive. Herbs that decrease the sex drive are called anaphrodisiacs. Often, these medicinal herbs are taken for various other reasons, and decreased libido is simply an unwanted effect. Understanding which herbs might suppress sex drive will help you in selecting an herb and dealing with these effects. While herbal remedies have been used for centuries, they aren't considered a medical cure. Always talk to a doctor before taking herbs for any reason.

    Carissa Carandas L., also known as Bengal currant, is an herb derived from a plant of the apocynaceae family, reports the Indian Medicinal Plants Growers' Consortium. This herb is commonly used to address liver dysfunction, diarrhea, anorexia, scabies and pruritis and earaches. It also acts as an anaphrodesiac, reports the Indian Medicinal Plants Growers' Consortium.


    Chaste tree, also called Vitex agnus-castus, is one of the more common anaphrodisac herbs, reports Academic Dictionaries and Encyclopedias. The tree from which the herb is derived is indigenous to the woodlands and dry areas of Europe and western Asia, according to Floridata. As an herbal remedy, Chaste tree is used to stabilize hormones in both men and women, according to Academic Dictionaries and Encyclopedias.
    Nymphea Odorata
    Commonly known as water lily, Nymphea odorata is used for a variety of herbal medicinal properties, reports Crescent Bloom.com. It is used as an astringent, antiseptic, and remedy for irritable bowels. It is also considered a sedative and an anaphrodisiac,some research says. If you are considering taking an herbal extract of nymphea odorata, discuss its effects with your doctor.

    Licorice Root
    The roots of the licorice plant, known scientifically as Glycyrrhiza glabra, is another herb that may decrease sex drive. According to The University of California San Diego, licorice root contains components that may inhibit the production of testosterone, which increases sex drive in men and women. The University of California San Diego cites a study published in the "New England Journal of Medicine" which found that the ingestion of 25 grams, or less than an ounce, of licorice has a significant anti aphrodisiac effect.


    As JNS Said you can always have a Hysterectomy, which is Extreme, you could have your ovaries removed, but then you would be on hormonal treatment for life to replace the hormones your body needs to function properly .


    But I believe that your statements you wrote is much more Important and more of an Insight to why you want to "lower your Libido "

    And that is

    Nobody would ever go out with me anyway and I notice guys a bit (who by this age are all taken)
    Has so much said in so very little words . There is a Deeper reason, low Self Esteem, Disappointment that a relationship hasn't come your way yet. I think you have much more than a Monthly Yearning from your Ovaries..
    And you may be trying to battle the emotional yearnings and blaming it on the Physical natural urges your Body as a Woman, is going through .



    I don't know what kind of Science you are into, but if it has to do with Humans or any other Life form, You of all people know to start at the root and work up . Maybe take a look at the Reason's behind why you want to stop a natural thing . ?

    " It's Boring, It's Useless " is not a good answer, it's a Cop Out . It's Avoidance, it's " I'd rather not Research that Part ".

    So Sweets , Take a look, do some Internal Self Research and find out why you don't want to bother with your own Normal Body needs .

      Hi CocaCola,

      The best and least intrusive ways to control your drive are going to be mental and spiritual. Don't focus on sex and sexuality. Watch what you take into your mind - books, movies, magazines, etc. Masturbation may give you immediate physical relief, but it's typically going to make it more difficult to control your desires. I've read that looser fitting clothing and sleeping on your side also help. I don't know what your spiritual views are, but prayer and faith have helped me greatly with self-control issues.

      If you really desire to remain single, don't let anyone talk you out of it or put pressure to seek out a relationship. It's overrated. Yes, there is a lot of good to it, but there is also plenty of grief. Look at all of the thousands of posts on this site asking for help or complaining about mates, children, in-laws, sex, etc. You can accomplish a lot single. It gives you a certain freedom. Best wishes.
      "Those sowing seed with tears
      Will reap with a joyful shout." - Psalm 126

          It is so frustrating around ovulation...

          I've tried masturbating to relieve the urge, but I can never really orgasm, so it never fully satisfies it. I've tried holding a strong vibrator on my clitoris, but I always kinda wimp out and take it off before I orgasm as it starts to feel overwhelming and like I can't hold it there any longer, I start to shake uncontrollably, and I feel like I'm going to scream uncontrollably. Is there a way to at least stop those things happening so that I can orgasm and get some relief and be done with it?

            CC,

            Maybe the vibrator you are using is too strong. If so, the clit can become numb or too sensitive to continue. Try using one that is battery powered and that you can control the intensity. Reducing the strength of the vibration as you are getting to that shaking -wanting to scream phase - may allow you to go over the top, so to speak.
