Various strong medicinal herbs from plants
Herbal tonics made from plants, such as ginseng and pasak
bumi, increase sexual desire and satisfaction. But remember, always consult
your doctor or nutritionist before taking these supplements.
In addition to supplements, these herbal plants can also
be consumed directly.
The way herbal and chemical drugs work is the same: increasing blood flow to the penis and dilating blood vessels. However, if you
use strong medicinal herbs from plants such as pasak bumi, the side effects
tend to be smaller. Below are several plants that can be formulated as herbal
tonics.
1. Pasak Bumi (Eurycoma longifolia)
There is no doubt, pasak bumi is well known for its ability
to increase libido. Pasak bumi is widely found in Southeast Asia and is an
aphrodisiac plant, namely food or drink, that can increase sexual arousal.
Pasak bumi works by affecting the body's ability to produce
the hormone testosterone. Reporting to WebMD, based on animal and human
studies, pasak bumi can increase the production of the hormone testosterone in
the body. Testosterone is one of the male sex hormones that can affect sexual
arousal.
2. Ginseng
The primary function of ginseng is actually to increase the
body's energy. However, this plant is also known to increase sex drive and
arousal in men. Its benefits also cannot be underestimated.
Ginseng has long been considered a natural tonic or an
aphrodisiac. In addition, the use of red ginseng has also long been done as an
alternative treatment for impotence. This effect has also been confirmed by
various studies in humans.
A study in the journal Spermatogenesis in 2013 reported that
ginseng can improve sperm quality and count, both in healthy men and those who
are infertile.
3. Ginkgo biloba
A theory from a previous study from South Korea published in
the Asian Journal of Andrology in 2011 concluded that the combination of ginkgo
biloba extract and the drug mirodenafil inactivates the production of the PDE5
enzyme in the shaft of the penis. This enzyme is produced by the body to make
the penis sluggish again after ejaculation.
This theory is supported by a recent study in the Journal of
Sexual Medicine in 2017, which found that ginkgo biloba extract can be
effective as a traditional tonic to treat erectile dysfunction.
Researchers also showed that the effectiveness was greater
when ginkgo was combined with the drug tadalafil (Cialis) than when used with
vardenafil.
The same study also found that ginkgo biloba extract
stimulated the production of nitrogen oxides to dilate blood vessels. When the
blood vessels dilate, the blood flow to the penis becomes smoother. By using
this powerful drug, your penis can have a more robust and longer-lasting
erection.
4. Horny goat weed
Horny goat weed is another example of a traditional tonic.
As the name suggests, "weed," this herbal plant, epimedium, grows
wild in China and the surrounding East Asian plains.
Like the word "horny," the leaves of this plant
are commonly used to increase male libido and relieve impotence.
A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2010
reported that epimedium contains the active compound icariin. Similar to the
effect of ginkgo, icariin also improves blood circulation to the penis by
inhibiting the activity of the PDE5 enzyme. As a result, a natural tonic from
the horny goat weed plant will make your erection last longer.
However, the effects of the horny goat weed plant are
short-lived. Until now, there have been no reported side effects from this homemade natural tonic on the body.
5. Maca root
Maca root (Lepidium meyenii) is the root of a herbal plant
that grows in the Andes Mountains of Peru, America. This plant has long been
known as a homemade natural tonic. A study from Korea concluded that maca root
is effective for stimulating male libido and treating impotence. Maca root can
also be used to increase stamina so that your performance in bed will last
longer.
6. Kava
Since ancient times, the people of the South Pacific islands
have used the kava plant to relieve cramps and muscle aches. In addition, this
plant is also believed to relieve stress and reduce the risk of depression in
men. Stress and depression are the most common psychological reasons for a
drastic drop in arousal.
The part of the kava plant that is often cultivated is the
root. If you want to consume it regularly, you can boil it and make it a drink.
Consuming kava can trigger a relaxing and relaxing effect on the nerves of the
brain. In the end, kava will bring out a feeling of happiness.
7. Damiana leaves
This plant, which, perhaps, you have never heard of, has
long been used by the Mayan Indians as a natural tonic for men. So potent,
damiana leaf (Turnera diffusa) is often dubbed the "love potion."
A 2010 study published in the journal Planta Medica said
damiana extract could stimulate arousal and sex drive in mice. Again, the
active compound in this leaf is reported to inhibit the production of the PDE5
enzyme. Unfortunately, scientific evidence showing the effectiveness of damiana
leaves on male libido is still lacking.
Generally, doctors will diagnose and examine your health before recommending drugs, including herbal remedies. The doctor will give you a dose of medicine adjusted to your condition based on the examination results.
