Herbal medicine for men includes supplements that increase libido, aid anemia treatment, and more. But be sure to purchase them from a reputable source as many unregulated herbal products contain contaminants which could interact with medications you're already taking.
Ginkgo biloba can assist in treating ED by increasing blood flow to the penis by dilatation of blood vessels. Horny goat weed or epimedium acts as a natural phosphodiesterase inhibitor to aid with erections.
Ginseng:
Ginseng is widely known to aid men suffering from erectile dysfunction. Additionally, it may assist with high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and heart disease - as its compounds known as ginsenosides provide significant health benefits. Traditional Chinese medicine uses it in preparations designed to increase energy while other uses include treating mental disorders and postponing the effects of aging symptoms.
Scientists have discovered that ginseng contains compounds known as PDE5 inhibitors which prevent blood vessel muscles from constricting and narrowing, thus increasing nitric oxide levels in the body and improving penis blood flow (Dhaliwal 2021).
Ginseng is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body deal with stress more effectively. Ginseng may improve brain health, protect against dementia and Alzheimer's disease and lower cholesterol levels; and one small study demonstrated it reduced some psychological symptoms associated with menopause as well as enhance immune system functioning.
Before using ginseng, it's essential to discuss it with your physician as it may interact with certain medications, especially those intended to treat depression and anxiety, as ginseng can increase their effects. Ginseng may also reduce effectiveness of anticoagulants like warfarin and oral hypoglycemic agents like metformin. Furthermore, it may increase stimulant effect of ADHD treatments like amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall/Concerta/Ritalin).
Hawthorn:
Hawthorn is an evergreen shrub that grows to 5 feet tall on hillsides and sunny wooded areas across the globe, and its leaves, branches, and berries are used as herbal medicine.
Early research shows that hawthorn may help protect against heart disease and high blood pressure. It could potentially lower cholesterol and triglycerides levels as well as widen blood vessels to increase transmission of nerve signals within the heart and decrease inflammation in livers and aortas (the largest artery Qurs Mumsik jadid
One study demonstrated how hawthorn could reduce symptoms of heart failure and help people exercise longer, as well as decrease blood pressure for those taking other medicines for heart disease. Laboratory tests also demonstrated how it helped lower cholesterol accumulations in liver cells and the aorta while potentially increasing levels of bile to flush it from the body.
Laboratory experiments performed in 2021 demonstrated that hawthorn berries effectively kill cancer cells and prevent their proliferation, yet more research needs to be conducted to see whether or not hawthorn can work against cancer in people and how.
Hawthorn may be considered safe when taken at recommended doses and used only temporarily, though side effects might include headache, upset stomach, dizziness and heart palpitations (the feeling of a racing heartbeat). Hawthorn should not be consumed if you have diabetes or are taking digoxin to treat irregular heartbeat.
Saw Palmetto:
Men who take saw palmetto may experience urinary tract symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). According to one study, saw palmetto reduced these issues by 28% when compared with placebo. When an enlarged prostate presses on the urethra and causes problems such as frequent or difficult urination or difficulty starting or stopping urination; saw palmetto seems to alleviate these issues by blocking an enzyme which promotes prostate cell growth; it blocks this enzyme that promotes cell growth allowing increased urine output by 28 percent compared with placebo.
Studies have suggested that saw palmetto can be as effective as finasteride (Propecia) at treating BPH; however, more research needs to be conducted before conclusively confirming these results. It's also vital that men who suspect having BPH visit their physician and get properly diagnosed, discussing treatment options with him beforehand.
Saw palmetto supplements can be found both alone or combined with other herbs such as pumpkin seed extract. You can take it either orally in capsule or softgel form; typically it's recommended that people take no more than 320 mg daily of this herb to help stabilize testosterone levels and decrease DHT, which has been associated with hair loss in men. Testosterone plays an essential role in male fertility, sexual drive and mood but as men age their levels begin to diminish.
Yohimbe:
Yohimbe is an evergreen tree species native to central and western Africa that produces an evergreen compound called Yohimbe in its bark. Yohimbe was traditionally used by Africans for fevers, leprosy, coughs, dilation, anesthesia, Akseer e kiram and sexual stimulation; all which it can still provide today. Yohimbe has become a popular dietary supplement used for treating erectile dysfunction, athletic performance issues, weight loss, angina (chest pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart), high blood pressure and diabetic neuropathy. Yohimbine, its active ingredient, works by blocking specific nerve cell receptors so blood vessels open and expand during sexual activity to increase blood flow - beneficial for improving erectile function.
Studies show that Yohimbe may help increase both sexual desire and performance for men with erectile problems when combined with herbal supplements, particularly when combined with other herbal remedies. Yohimbe may also benefit women who lack sexual drive as it opens blood vessels in the penis and vagina, increases nerve impulses involved with orgasm and stimulates sexual arousal.
People taking medications should discuss any dietary supplements they are considering with their physician or health care professional before making decisions, particularly during pregnancy, breastfeeding or having a medical condition. Yohimbe has been reported to interact with at least 61 drugs; as well as being dangerous if taken without first consulting with a doctor first - such as being allergic or suffering from bleeding disorders.
