It is a haunting problem for many men that Western medicine often fails
to offer a safe and comfortable treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Fortunately, ancient herbal medicine, a craft honed as it was practiced
for centuries in Eastern cultures, holds some promising alternatives to
Western treatment which have proven effective in lab testing as well as
in treating real patients.
Saw Palmetto Berry
According to "The One Earth Herbal Sourcebook," by Alan
Keith Tillotson et all, saw palmetto has been used for centuries as an
herbal treatment for erectile dysfunction. Used by Ayurvedic health
professionals as a general health treatment for the male reproductive
system, saw palmetto berry has proven effects in improving male
reproductive health. It is one of the most effective herbs used to
reduce the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, a condition which can
affect pelvic blood flow and increase your chances of having erectile
dysfunction. Saw palmetto berry is available at most natural food stores
in pill or extract form. Chinese herbalists often combine saw palmetto
berry with other herbs like stinging nettle when designing a blend to
combat erectile dysfunction. These herbs are often mixed with honey and
eaten as a paste, but are sometimes drank in a tea.
Tea Tree Oil
Sometimes, erectile dysfunction can be caused by an
infection which can cause inflammation or damage to the mechanisms
required for an erection. Tea tree oil is an effective antifungal herb.
Applied topically, diluted and used as a wash to the genital area, tea
tree oil can treat any infections which might be causing inflammation or
other problems that affect erectile health. According to "One Earth,"
tea tree oil works to clear up infections by increasing white blood cell
activity in the area of application. "One Earth" suggests using tea
tree oil to clear up infections that might be causing erectile
dysfunction.
Ashwagandha Root
Ashwagandha root treats erectile dysfunction by giving your
sexual energy a boost. A stress-reducing herb which helps strengthen the
immune system, the extract of ashwaganda root can have an
anti-inflammatory effect which can reduce prostate inflammation and
increase your general sexual health. Vascular health is very important
in achieving erectile health, because a healthy vascular system is
necessary in achieving adequate blood flow to the penis. Prostate
inflammation can affect blood flow to the vascular area that facilitates
a healthy erection. By reducing inflammation in the prostate area, you
can increase blood flow to the pelvic region.
Guduchi Stem
Guduchi stem is a bitter tasting herb which "One Earth" says
has antitoxin and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to the
healthful effects of guduchi stem, it is also regarded as being an
aphrodesiac, and is used to treat impotence in herbal medicine. The
dosage suggested in "One Earth" is 2 grams of dried powdered guduchi
stem, administered two to three times per day.
