Years ago, men in our culture pretty much accepted whatever they
were dealt in the sexual department, and they certainly didn't talk
about their problems or concerns. Today, men aren't willing to live
with uncertainty, embarrassment or feelings of inadequacy when it
comes to sex -- and fortunately, they've found there really is
something they can do about it. With the advent of prescription
drugs for impotence, men began to question their long-held beliefs
that sexual problems were just something you had to learn to live
with (or deny). But prescription drugs aren't for everyone, and
indeed, most men have concerns that can be addressed more simply and
inexpensively than with doctor's office visits and subsequent
pharmaceutical prescriptions.
Now men have another option: all-natural male enhancement
supplements. Anyone who's been watching TV or using the Internet
lately knows these products are out there, but few know how they
work or which products do work.
So let's take a look at how these products do the job and what
makes them effective for hundreds of thousands of men.
Quality male enhancement pills contain a number of botanical and
natural ingredients that come from around the world, with proven
anecdotal records of success in increasing libido, empowering sexual
drive and function, and creating greater stamina and erection
hardness. Today, even medical doctors, typically resistant to herbal
and naturopathic healing, now endorse natural formulas for male
sexual enhancement.
The best formulas out there contain scientifically tested, potent
aphrodisiac herbal concentrates from China, Europe and South America
to successfully stimulate sexual activity, maintain a firm erection
and increase sexual pleasure.
First, they promote peripheral tissue vasodilation to improve
arterial erectile function. The ingredients have a direct effect on
the endothelial cells, which enhances blood flow of both penile
arteries and veins without any change in the systemic blood
pressure. Some formulas also have the ability to relax and tonify
the nervous system, which is necessary to deal fully with
psychological stressors present.
When looking for a good supplement, you may come across many of
the same ingredients in many of them -- however, keep in mind that
it is not only the specific components, but the blends, proportions
and formulation that make a difference. Here are some of the herbs
commonly used, and their effects in the male body:
Epimedium Leaf Extract
Epimedium was discovered in 200 BC. Legend has it that an ancient
Chinese goat herder noticed that his flock suddenly became
sexually active after grazing in a certain patch of weed. The
Chinese consider Epimedium to be the premier libido lifter for
men. It is also reputed to have a testosterone effect, to
stimulate the sensory nerves and restore sexual desire. After
centuries of use in China, top medical doctors now report that
Epimedium can be used to boost libido, improve erectile function,
restore sexual power and increase sensation. Scientifically,
Epimedium works by freeing up testosterone, which naturally
increases sex drive and endurance.
Cuscuta Seed Extract
Cuscuta is frequently used in long-term tonic programs, most
commonly to strengthen the uro-genital functions. It is used to
treat premature ejaculation, frequent urination and leukorrhea as
well as aching lower back, symptoms that often accompany deficient
kidney conditions which cause sexual weakness. Cuscuta seed is
also widely used to nourish the sperm and marrow and strengthen
sinews of the sexual organs. It is used to increase fertility in
both men and women, and is listed as an aphrodisiac in all
traditional Chinese pharmacopoeias.
Ginko Biloba Leaf
For over 5,000 years, Ginkgo has been prescribed in Chinese herbal
medicine. In the last 30 years, more that 300 studies have given
clinical evidence that Ginkgo prevents and benefits many problems
throughout the entire body. Ginkgo is gaining recognition as a
brain tonic that enhances memory because of its positive effects
on the vascular system, especially in the cerebellum. Ginkgo
improves peripheral circulation, oxygenation, and increases blood
flow to the genitals to improve sexual function and the power of
an erection. In a recent scientific study, 78% of men with
non-medically caused impotence problems reported significant
improvement - significantly, with no side effects. Ginkgo has been
shown to be nutritional support for mental alertness, enhanced
vitality level, circulatory health and blood vessel health. Note
that its high antioxidant activity is valuable for fighting
age-related conditions. Ginkgo may help to counteract the effects
of aging, including mental fatigue and lack of energy,

Asian Red Ginseng - Panax Ginseng
Ginseng is traditionally used to overcome general weakness and
deliver extra energy. It also has aphrodisiacal powers. Used to
combat non medically caused impotence, and premature ejaculation,
Ginseng helps normalize blood pressure while rejuvenating and
revitalizing the body. It also promotes the growth of nerve
tissue. A key ingredient of Ginseng is ginsenoside, which alters
blood flow to the brain and penis and can build blood and sperm.
Russian scientists have reported and recorded that Ginseng
stimulates both physical and mental activity, enhances athletic
performance and has a positive effect on the sex glands,

Saw Palmetto Berry - Fructus Serenoae
Native Americans and early American settlers used Saw Palmetto to
treat problems associated with the genitals, urinary tract and
reproductive system. This herb is called the "plant catheter" due
to its therapeutic effect on the neck of the bladder and the
prostate in men. Saw Palmetto is widely used in Germany, Canada,
the United Kingdom and the U.S. for nutritionally benefiting the
prostate and urinary tract. Saw Palmetto is a tonic, and is one of
the few herbal remedies that are considered to be anabolic --
strengthening and building body tissues. The Saw Palmetto berries
have long held a reputation as sexual stimulants and aphrodisiacs.
Their largest use today is as a supplement for reducing enlarged
prostate glands, treating urinary tract problems and for improving
body strength. Saw Palmetto has shown significant action in
treatment of conditions associated with benign prostatic
hypertrophy (BPH). Saw Palmetto extract works to prevent
testosterone from converting into dihydrotestosterone, the hormone
thought to cause prostrate cells to multiply which leads to an
enlarged prostate. Saw Palmetto inhibits androgen and estrogen
receptor activity and may be beneficial for both sexes in
balancing the hormones. Because of its hormonal effects, Saw
Palmetto can aid the thyroid in regulating sexual development and
normalizing activity of those glands and organs.
Muira Pauma Bark Extract
Muria Puama is an herb from a shrub native to Brazil, otherwise
known as "Potency Wood". Both verbal and written historical
records show that Muria Puama helps with lack of sexual desire and
the difficulty to maintain erection. Muria Puama is used to
restore sexual virility and to treat genital weakness "of intent",
meaning the strength associated with sexual desire and potency in
men. The textbook Specific Indications for Herbs in General Use,
published by the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, lists
benefits of Muria Puama to these specific body systems:
Improvement in reproductive system function, adrenal stress,
cardiovascular system function, central nervous system activity,
renal activity, and thyroid stress. Recent clinical studies
further validate the potency of Muria Puama.
Catuaba Bark Extract
Catuaba has a long history in herbal medicine as a male 'strengthener'
and aphrodisiac. The Tupi Indians in Brazil first discovered the
qualities of the Catuaba plant and over the last centuries, have
composed many songs praising its wonders. Indigenous people and
local people have used Catuaba for generations and it is the most
famous of all Brazilian aphrodisiaca plants. In the state of Minas
there is a saying which goes, "Until a father reaches 60, the son
is his, after that the son is Catuaba's." According to Dr. Meira
Penna, Catuaba "functions as a stimulant of the nervous system,
above all when one deals with functional impotence of the male
genital organs... it is an innocent aphrodisiac, used without any
ill effects at all." In Brazilian herbal medicine today, Catuaba
is regarded as an aphrodisiac with "proven efficacy." Herbalists
and health practitioners in the United States use Catuaba
regularly as a tonic for genital function, as a central nervous
system stimulant, and for treatment of sexual non medically caused
impotence. According to Michael van Straten, noted British author
and researcher of medicinal plants, Catuaba is beneficial to both
men and women as an aphrodisiac, but "it is in the area of male
impotence that the most striking results have been reported" and
"there is no evidence of side effects, even after long-term use."
Hawthorn Berry - Fructus Crataegi
This phytochemical, with exceptional preventive capacities, comes
from the hawthorn tree. Hawthorn is rich in bioflavonoids, which
relax and dilate the arteries. These compounds are powerful
antioxidants that help increase the flow of blood and oxygen to
the heart. This reduces the work required by the heart to
circulate blood, and in- turn this reduces blood pressure and
stress to the heart muscle. The bioflavonoid substances in
Hawthorn give strength to the walls of blood vessels and improve
blood flow to other areas of the body. Components in Hawthorn have
also been shown to lower cholesterol, and the amount of plaque in
arteries. Officially approved for pharmaceutical use in Germany,
government studies show the Hawthorn plant to be completely free
of any side effects. European studies have shown that the Hawthorn
botanical increases blood flow to the heart and brain, protects
the heart from irregular beats, enhances the strength of the
heart's contractions, and mildly lowers blood pressure.
Other botanicals appear in male sexual aids, as well; its advisable
to research the effects.
