There are various herbs which claim to increase sexual potency, but little research exists to support their claims. Still, they could aid some men who have erectile dysfunction by relaxing blood vessel walls and improving circulation.
Epimedium extract (Horny Goat Weed) may increase libido in both women and men by replenishing low levels of testosterone and thyroid hormone, increasing blood flow, and acting vasodilatory.
Astragalus
Astragalus root can be found in tea form at Chinese grocery stores and some health food stores and is also often sold in capsule, liquid and tablet forms as part of herbal formulas sold at these outlets. Those should not take Astragalus with diabetes or high blood pressure due to its alkaloid, Yohimbine (Pausinystalia yohimbe), an effective aphrodisiac which works by dislodging Epinephrine from alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the pelvic area and increasing sexual arousal.
Astragalus is an adaptogen that can effectively combat stress, promote peace within the body, balance estrogen levels between men and women, and boost libido. Furthermore, Astragalus may reduce oxidative stress, boost immune system functioning, and be an effective remedy for menstrual problems and postmenopausal syndrome.
Sarsparilla
Sarsaparilla (Smilax) is a woody trailing vine found worldwide. Not to be mistaken with sassafras, which provides much of the flavour in root beer as its signature foam and signature aroma.
Plant sterols in this drink closely resemble testosterone, progesterone and estrogen hormones to produce a refreshing, naturally stimulating effect on libido. (7)
The antimicrobial properties of turmeric were widely utilized during the 1800s for treating sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis and leprosy, as well as detoxing metabolic toxins from the system (2).
Ginkgo
Gingko trees, commonly called maidenhair trees, have long been used for herbal medicine for sex. Their leaves contain antioxidants that fight free radicals and improve blood flow while stimulating dopamine production – increasing sexual desire – as well as helping alleviate depression, which often decreases libido.
Studies show that Ginkgo biloba can enhance both men and women’s libido. Its vasodilating properties help increase blood flow to the penis, which is essential for erectile function. Furthermore, Ginkgo can reduce sexual anxiety while improving sperm count and motility; one study observed participants taking Ginkgo biloba extract showing increased physiological arousal when viewing neutral and erotic films – but more research must be completed to verify these findings.
Mad Honey
Mad honey, commonly found in Turkey and Nepal, is an uncommon honey often marketed as an aphrodisiac and used medicinally for centuries. Unfortunately, however, its consumption can be lethal as it contains grayanotoxin toxins known to cause cardiac issues as well as hallucinations and delirium symptoms in larger doses.
Gazi University researchers in Turkey have recorded 21 cases of mad honey poisoning since 2002. Most victims were middle-aged men. Consultation with local beekeepers revealed that most patients bought the honey to enhance sexual function. According to these research findings, emergency room physicians should consider mad honey poisoning when assessing patients with low blood pressure and slow heart rates.
Yohimbe
Yohimbe (Pausinystalia Yohimbe) is an herbal remedy used by both men and women that may help increase sexual activity. Its bark contains the alkaloid yohimbine, which works on blood circulation to arouse individuals and improve physical performance, releasing adrenaline. Yohimbe may cause side effects, including high blood pressure, headache, anxiety and nausea and should be avoided by those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibition drugs such as selective serotonin serotonin serotonin.
Conclusion
They can be purchased as a capsule or tablet supplement and sold under various names, such as extract, yohimbehe, Yocon and corynine. Each country regulates it differently, but severe side effects have been noted in some users – for this reason, they only use it under medical supervision and only purchase reputable products.
