Herbal Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction
About 300,000 men each year are diagnosed with
erectile
dysfunction in the United States alone. A third of these men do not respond
to the conventional treatment with drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. A
smaller percentage cannot be prescribed with drugs due to pre-existing medical
conditions such as hypertension,
diabetes
and hyperthyroidism. All these men are essentially left with the option of
penile devices that help them maintain erections - or, of course, they could
turn to herbal
remedies.
As populations within the developed world are increasingly turning to
traditional medicine for overall healthcare, they have come to realize the fact
that herbalism is not a "quack science." Modern medicine is also starting to be
more accepting of herbal remedies for treating sexual dysfunctions. A few
studies indicate that Gingko Biloba has great potential for treating
erectile
dysfunction as it increases blood flow to the
penis. However, this herb can be fatal if it interacts with blood thinning
drugs such as Coumadin (Warfarin) or natural foods like
garlic
and vitamin E. The herb
Aswagandha (Withania somnifera), also called Indian ginseng, has been known
for centuries as a tonic for stress relief. It works by decreasing performance
anxiety and aiding better circulation.
Mexican natives are known to use the plant damiana (Turnera diffusa) as a male
aphrodisiac -- however, the active compound in the herb is similar to cyanide
and may be toxic in large doses. Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) has received some
attention in the past years as an effective treatment for
libido
loss for its ability to help the body retain
testosterone levels. One
of the most popular herbal remedies to emerge that has gained considerable
acceptance in recent years is Ginseng. Although the term ginseng has been used
to refer to a variety of unrelated plants, many of them show remarkably similar
properties and thereputic values. Among them, Chinese ginseng (Panax ginseng),
Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) and Female ginseng (Angelica
sinensis or Dong Quai) show poptential as treatments for erectile dysfunction.
The FDA does not approve herbal remedies, as they do not fall under their
jurisdiction, and this includes remedies for
erectile
dysfunction. Men interested in these medications should consult their
physicians or herbalists in order to determine the appropriate herb and dosage.
