Most natural solutions for
men’s sexual problems involve increasing the
man’s libido, which is regulated by the hormone
testosterone. As men age, their level of
testosterone decreases and they potentially can
lose interest in sex. Men’s sexual problems may
also be lifestyle related. Traditional, Western
medicine has relied on either prescription drugs
or surgery for treatment of men’s sexual
problems which can result in unwanted side
effects.
Eastern, natural treatments for men’s sexual
problems are derived from ancient Chinese,
Ayurvedic and African herbalist knowledge and
medicine. They have found certain natural herbs
to have strong aphrodisiac properties, which can
improve sexual functioning, and overall health.
Some herbs act as vasodilators, which increase
blood, flow to the penis to improve sexual
performance and pleasure. Other herbs have been
shown to stimulate the adrenal glands, improve
male hormone levels, increase stamina, and
improve functioning of the sexual organs.
Natural herbs that act to increase libido
include the Chinese lycium berry which increases
testosterone levels in the blood and man bao, a
Chinese formula that improves sexual stamina.
Vitamin C, Zinc, Horny Goat Weed, turnaria
aphrodisiaca, sarsaparilla, lirosma ovata,
cardamom, fenugreek, anise, and ginseng also
help to increase sexual desire and stamina. DHEA
is a form of hormone replacement therapy and
also helps to improve sexual libido. Ginkgo
biloba and Vitamin E are circulation boosters

palmetto is used for impotence and prostate
