This entire site is about natural remedies, medicines and cures for impotence.
Exercise as a Natural Remedy For Impotence
In a large study of over 31,000 men who did not have prostate cancer, aged 53-90,one third of the men reported having impotence or erectile dysfunction at sometime in the previous three months. The risk went up 5% per year after age 50. There is good news for men who exercise, and good reason to start if you don’t. Men who exercise 3-5 hours a week have 30% less risk of having erectile dysfunction (impotence). This study showed that regular exercise can mean 10 more years free of erectile dysfunction for the average man. Previous studies have found exercise to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, treatment for which can also result in erectile dysfunction.
Natural remedies for impotence aren’t new. In fact, a number of impotence herbs and other natural remedies have been used in Chinese, African and other traditional medicine cultures for many years. But finding out whether these herbs work, and if they’re safe, can be tricky. Unlike prescription medications for erectile dysfunction (such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis), most impotence herbs and other natural remedies haven’t been evaluated by scientific studies.
These herbs have been be used to treat erectile dysfunction.
Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) – Traditionally used for male impotence
Damiana (Turnera diffusa) – Traditionally used as an aphrodisiac and for various sexual disorders.
Ginkgo biloba – Increases arterial blood flow, which may have a positive effect on male sexual function.
Muira puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides) – Used for erectile dysfunction and lack of libido.
Vitamins and Supplements
Supplements are intended to provide nutritional support. Because a supplement or a recommended dose may not be appropriate for all persons, a physician (i.e., a licensed naturopathic physician or holistic MD or DO) should be consulted before using any product.
Recommended doses follow:
Bioflavonoids – Take 1000 mg daily.
Vitamin C – Take 1000 mg 3 times daily with meals
Vitamin E – Take 400 IUs daily.
Flaxseed meal – Grind 2-4 tablespoons daily. Flaxseed meal is a better choice due to its fiber, lignan, and vitamin content, but flaxseed oil (1 tbsp daily) can be substituted.
Pumpkin Seed Oil – (1 tbsp daily) This can be used in place of or with the flaxseed oil
Inositol hexaniacinate – Take 1000-3000 mg daily to improve circulation and lower cholesterol. Diabetics should not take this supplement.
Selenium – Take 200 mcg daily.
Zinc – Take 30 mg daily.
DHEA, a building block for sex hormones, may help some men with erectile dysfunction, especially if they have low testosterone (hypogonadism). DHEA can cause acne and may lower “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
Folic acid and vitamin E When used along with Viagra), a combination of these vitamins may help men who didn’t get an erection when taking sildenafil alone. But more studies are needed to determine whether there’s a clear benefit.
