Erectile Dysfunction affects over 25 million Men in the U.S alone, most of these are middle aged to old aged.
To define (ED) Erectile Dysfunction, Is not being able to have an erection and or to keep the erection for any length of time. Stress can cause this condition as can cardiovascular leakage or diabetes, also the pressure of having to perform makes this condition worse. There are more men that suffer this than we know but many are too embarrassed to seek help and therefore suffer in silence. There are several Herbal medicines that are sold over counters in health shops or available online that take the embarrassment out of having to ask for them personally.
Viagra has been a godsend for many who suffer from Erectile Dysfunction and doctors are treating more male patients with ED. Some men would benefit from counselling to help with the psychological problems with great benefits,but others spend a fortune trying desperately to overcome this problem that affects close relationships, and their own life, and how they feel about themselves as an alpha male.
Aside from medical intervention there are many herbal and alternative treatments that have positive results when used to help Erectile dysfunction.
A selection of vitamins such as
- vitamin c (this vitamin is very good for increasing blood flow).
- vitamin E (with taking this vitamin you have to be extremely careful if you take blood thinning tablets such as warfarin to prevent blood clots as this vitamin can affect the effectiveness of the tablet with serious side affects).
- a lack of the Zinc vitamin can lead to problems with erectile dysfunction
- selenium have shown in some people extremely good results sometimes as less as a month!
- L-arganine A high proportion of patients have used this to great affect with better results than Viagra, as the erection feels more natural. Before taking this vitamin be careful to check with your doctor if taking other medication.
- Ginkgo is very promising, there are reports of Ginkgo improving blood flow in the male penis therefore improving erection and also an added bonus of improving libido in females. You may need to check with your doctor if you are on other medication before commencing a course of Ginkgo pills(or any other herbal medication).
Herbal remedies are not approved by the FDA, the FDA do not have jurisdiction over Herbal medicines. So I strongly advice anybody reading this article and thinking of trying these or any other Herbal based remedies to check with their doctor and not rely on research alone.
