Rise To the Occasion! The Herbal Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction

Erection problems and low libido seem to be on the increase and many men are now turning to Herbal Medicine to improve their condition. When a man feels under pressure to perform, it tends to make matters even worse. This can have a hugely negative impact on the well-being and confidence of not just the man but also the man's partner. It is not unusual for erection problems to destroy a couple's relationship.

Did you know that testosterone levels are adversely affected by stress, alcohol and obesity? Low testosterone levels can cause less strong erections, decrease in libido, decreased enjoyment of life, depression, grumpiness, falling asleep after dinner, deterioration in work performance and deterioration in ability to play sports. Not what a chap needs. The good news is that there is a very effective medicinal herb, for which there is good evidence that it can facilitate penile erection by directly inducing the vasodilatation and relaxation of the penile corpus cavernosum. This herb is prescribed along with another medicinal herb, which may gently stimulate the production of LH from the pituitary and thereby help with male sexual function.

Men, who are stressed often find that their testosterone levels are adversely affected. And if that were not enough, there is  also the natural decline in sex hormone as a man ages. Low testosterone levels can cause problems getting or maintaining an erection. And if a man drinks to help alleviate stress, that too impacts his testosterone levels.

He may comfort eat because of work-related stress and pressure at home from his partner because he can't always rise to the occasion. Being overweight also causes a decline in testo levels. But all is not lost and there is a way forward, which is to address both the stress levels and the erection problems simultaneously. 

The prescription-only medicinal herbs, which have gained a reputation for improving erectile function, have helped a lot of men according to our own clinical outcomes. In fact, one of them has a reputation as "the natural Viagra". There are many over the counter and online herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction but it's worth knowing that to gain the desired effect, the herbs must be of very high quality and contain enough of the plant chemicals to have a therapeutic effect. Some over the counter products have been tested and it was found that they did not contain enough of the plant chemicals necessary to help erectile dysfunction, many times because the wrong part of the plant had been used!

Human clinical trials have demonstrated Herbal Medicine's usefulness as a treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Researchers divided 90 men with ED into three equal groups. Participants received Herbal Medicine, placebo, or trazodone, an oral antidepressant drug that has occasionally been used to enhance sexual function. Afterwards, participants were evaluated for indicators of healthy erectile function, such as frequency of intercourse, premature ejaculation, and morning erections. None of these parameters changed among the three groups. But participants who received the Herbal Medicine demonstrated a significant improvement in objective and subjective erection parameters such as penile rigidity, girth, duration of erection, improved libido, and patient satisfaction. At the same time as taking the herbs to help support sex hormone production, it is important to reduce stress levels. This can be done by taking stress-relieving herbs, which do not cause drowsiness. Patients usually find that this works very well for them.

Reducing alcohol and coffee consumption will also help and exercise, say three times a week, even if it's just a half hour brisk walk to raise the heart rate, will help lower stress levels. If you are overweight, it would be worth losing those extra pounds and dietary advice is also available to help achieve this. There is also Herbal Medicine to help you burn fat and control blood sugar levels. Patients have found that this is a highly effective approach to weight loss, where they can eat three healthy meals a day along with healthy snacks. No need to starve or feel miserable! Patients experience a boost in energy levels as well as weight loss, which can be maintained in the long-term if dietary advice is followed. 

Many patients have found that this natural approach to erectile dysfunction really does help. If you would like to improve your condition, call for an appointment.
