Healing Herbs for Erectile Dysfunction

A few weeks ago we talked about nutrients that could help increase sex drive and increase the likelihood of a longer lasting erection. I’d like to add to that discussion by adding a few popular herbs that are known to have the same effects.

Ashwagandha (or, Indian Winter Cherry) – The roots of this Indian shrub are used in Ayurvedic medicine and offers numerous health benefits, including anti-stress, rejuvenation, anti-inflammation. It’s also traditionally used as to enhance sexual performance.

Gingko – There’s a lot of research right now being poured into the herb gingko bilboa and all its miraculous healing properties. Gingko improves blood flow throughout the body and can increase the amount of blood that gets sent to the penis, especially at the time of an erection. Be careful not to take too much Gingko, though, especially if you also take aspirin – gingko is a blood thinner and could cause bleeding if taken in excess.

Ginseng – Ginseng is a popular herb used in Chinese medicine and in tea. Studies have shown that it helps men with erectile dysfunction perform sexually.

Maca – This is a root-like vegetable from the Andes Mountains and is used to increase energy, vitality, fertility, and sexual virility.

Yohimbe – This is not actually an herb, but is actually an extract that comes from the bark of the African yohimbe tree. If your ED has possible psychological causes, then yohimbe might be a good option for you. Yohimbe may cause a few side effects, so speak to you doctor before you try this herb, especially if you have high blood pressure.

Epimediurn – Also known as horny goat weed, this herb has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine and will raise low testosterone and thyroid levels.All of these herbs can be purchased and used on their own and many can be found in herbal supplements that are marketed to increase your sex drive, sexual performance, and sexual pleasure.
