Top 3 Amazing Erectile Dysfunction Herbs That Work!

There are many causes of erectile dysfunction and if yours specifically relates to poor blood flow since a robust blood flow to the pelvic region is essential for strong long lasting erections, there are some herbs that can help to improve blood flow throughout your body including your groin. The following are the top 3 amazing erectile dysfunction herbs that actually work. Since they are not prescription or OTC medications, they are not only inexpensive but also come few to zero side effects.

Herbalism

For thousands of years people have turned to herbalism to deal with various health issues as well as their use to simply promote general health and well-being. This is because many herbs contain many healing properties.

With the advent of pharmaceuticals, herbalism may have become less popular but more and more people have started turning back to this ancient healing method because not only are various herbs effective but as mentioned earlier they are inexpensive with few side effects.

With that in mind, an issue that many men deal with is erectile dysfunction or ED and it's causes may be disease, psychological issues, age, etc, and while there are many solutions on the market including prescription medications such as Viagra, it's important to remember that there are also many effective natural methods that can work including using the following three herbs.

Best erectile dysfunction herbs

1. Yohimbe (pausinystalia yohimbe)

Yohimbe is from the family that includes coffee, madder and gardenia and it's the bark extract which is used for natural healing. This age-old African aphrodisiac's use for treating erectile dysfunction naturally dates back thousands of years and the active ingredient in this herb - yohimbine - has actually been approved by the FDA for treating erection difficulties.

While this herb is not as popular as Viagra, it works almost as well and doesn't come with many of the serious side effects associated with the latter, in addition to also treating other health issues that Viagra can't treat such as depression, to help men who have difficulty ejaculating but have no problem having an erection, it can improve women's libido, and so on and so forth.

Yohimbe for erectile dysfunction

Yohimbe has been shown by study after study since the late 80s around the world as being able to improve erections which is why it is one of the best erectile dysfunction herbs because its effectiveness has been proven by various researchers.

Using yohimbe for ED

The studies on yohimbe's effectiveness for erectile dysfunction used amounts of 15 to 30 milligrams per day. While this herb can be found easily over the counter, it's best to ask your doctor for a prescription for this herb because what you can get over the counter may only contain very minute amounts of yohimbine which may not make any difference. If you do get a prescription, simply follow the package directions on usage.

Any safety concerns?

It's important to take the recommended dosage only as very large doses can cause psychosis and paralysis.

This herb should not be taken with ED medications such as Viagra, etc.

Other side effects may include nervousness, irritability, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, flushing, tremor, etc.

Not to be given to children and anyone over the age of 65 should start with a small dose and build up gradually if necessary.

Some people may suffer an allergic reaction.

If you are on other medications, talk to your doctor before using yohimbe because there may be unpleasant drug/herb interactions.

2. Ginseng (panax ginseng or panax quinquefolius)

This is from the family which also includes ivy and it's the roots that are used for natural healing. If there was an ultimate herb, it would be ginseng which is why it's sometimes called life root, man root, root of immortality, heal-all, etc.

There are two types of ginseng - the Chinese, Japanese or Korean which is p. ginseng, and the American which is p. quinquefolius. While distinctions are made between the effects of the two especially in Eastern medicine, in the West, these two types are generally considered the same.

Some of the many healing benefits of ginseng which is why it's called the ultimate "tonic" in the East and an "adaptogen" (i.e. helps the body resist physical and emotional stresses) in the West, include;

Enhanced immunity

Improved mental capabilities

Increased energy

Increased athleticism

Improved general well-being, etc

In addition to helping fight diseases and conditions such as,

Cancer

Diabetes

Colds

High blood pressure

Male infertility

Liver damage

Emphysema

Increase appetite

Relive menopausal symptoms

Etc

Ginseng and erectile dysfunction

The reason that ginseng is one of the top erectile dysfunction herbs relates to its ability to dilate the arteries including those that drive blood to the penis. With increased blood flow to the penis, the better your chances for an erection.

Several studies have also supported this herb's ability to not only cause an improvement in erection rigidity but also in penis girth and feelings of arousal which further improve an erection.

Men taking ginseng also reported not only firmer erections but also longer lasting erections making ginseng one of the best erectile dysfunction herbs in addition to promoting general health and well-being in every part of the body.

Using ginseng for ED

Ginseng has a slight sweet taste and is slightly aromatic and can be used in the form of a powder, tinctures, teas, capsules or tablets which are easily available online and off line. Simply follow package directions on usage.

Any safety concerns?

This herb acts as a stimulant which means that some people may become restless, nervous, etc, in much the same way they would if they drank coffee or any other drink that contains caffeine which means that ginseng can lead to over stimulation.

Some people may be allergic to ginseng.

This herb has anti-clotting action so avoid it if you are dealing with clotting issues or taking blood thinners and don't use ginseng two weeks before scheduled surgery.

Other rare side effects include increased blood pressure, insomnia, heart rhythm disturbance, asthma attacks, breast soreness, etc.

If you're on other medications, talk to your doctor before using ginseng because of possible unpleasant drug/herb interactions.

Not to be given to children and pregnant or nursing mothers should avoid taking this herb.

3. Ginkgo (ginkgo biloba)

Another popular herb in traditional Chinese medicine besides ginseng in ginkgo which is also popular in India's Ayurvedic medicine and it's the leaves that are used for natural healing. The ginkgo tree is a sacred tree in many parts of Asia and has been used in that part of the world to treat a myriad of health issues for thousands of years.

Ginkgo is usually recommended for the natural treatment of the following conditions,

Alzheimer's disease as well as MID (multi-infarct dementia)

Heart disease

Stroke

Anxiety

Cochlear deafness

Macular degeneration

Diabetic neuropathy

Tinnitus

Etc

Gingko for erectile dysfunction

The reason that it's one of the best erectile dysfunction herbs is also the reason that it helps with many of the previously mentioned diseases and conditions i.e. its ability to improve circulation. As mentioned previously, improved blood flow can help to improve erections.

One study found that this herb helped to relieve erectile dysfunction which was caused by the narrowing of the arteries which supply blood to the penis.

Using ginkgo for ED

Since it's difficult to get enough of the medicinal properties from using the leaves (to make infusions or tinctures), it's recommended to buy a standardized ginkgo product which contains a concentrated 50:1 extract (50 pounds of ginkgo leaves used to make 1 pound of standardized extract). Follow package directions on usage.

Any safety concerns?

Ginkgo may cause problems in those with clotting disorders or people taking blood thinners which is why it isn't recommended to take this herb two weeks before surgery.

Some people may be allergic to this herb.

It may cause stomach upset, rash or headache in some people.

Large doses may lead to irritability, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

To be avoided by pregnant and nursing women.

This herb is usually only given to children to treat dyslexia.

If you're on other medications, do talk to your doctor first before taking ginkgo as there may be unpleasant drug/herb interactions.

Treating erectile dysfunction with herbs is definitely an area for you to consider if you're struggling with this issue and the above 3 are the best erectile dysfunction herbs that you can use. However it's important to remember that these herbs are most beneficial if poor blood circulation is the reason for your ED. If your ED is due to another reason, these herbs may not help.
