With Valentine's Day just around the corner, many folks will be turning their attention towards turning up the heat in their relationships. Excluding the standbys of candles, racy undies and mood music, you might be wondering how you could get your lady or your fellow in the mood this V-Day.

Damiana Tea, a family-run company based in Seattle, sells a loose tea called Dragonwater Tea that might be just what the doctor ordered. According to the tea-people, Dragonwater Tea comes from a small shrub that grows in the southwest. In addition to the usual health benefits of tea, this particular variety has been used as a natural aphrodisiac ever since the time of the Mayans. A quarter-pound bag sells for $5.50, which seems like a very reasonable price to pay compared to other aphrodisiacs like oysters and nice champagne.
