Is there Such a Thing as Herbal Viagra?

---

For men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, the little blue pill that was developed by one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer, was a godsend. Shortly after its release in 1998, millions of men rushed to their doctors to obtain a prescription. After all, the clinical trials had been a success with four out of every five men reporting some improvement.

However, it wasn’t long before patients realised that the medication had some pretty serious side effects. Although the most common ones are fairly innocuous, such as headaches, flushing, nasal congestion and dyspepsia, patients have also complained of increased incidences of urinary tract infection, abnormal vision, diarrhoea and dizziness. There are also reports of hundreds of patients suffering a stroke or a cardiac arrest while on the drug, but these have not been confirmed.

Still, many men who suffer from erectile dysfunction fear these side effects, which is why they often end up asking, "Is there such a thing as herbal viagra ?" The answer is yes, there is. However, we must note that the term herbal Viagra is just a nickname that consumers use for any herbal product that performs the same function as the famous drug. That is, they may improve circulation and blood flow to the penis.

Do they work? This is a much more difficult question to answer, since many of these products or supplements have never undergone clinical trials. What we do know, however, is that many of the herbal ingredients that are used in these supplements have been consumed for hundreds, even thousands of years to improve sexual performance. One herb in particular, Gingko Biloba, is said to work exactly like the little blue pill in that it increases blood flow to the male organ. Other common herbs that are used in herbal supplements include Ginseng and Yohimbe. In fact, Yohimbe, which is actually not an herb, but bark from a West African tree, has proven effective in trials.

But before you rush off and buy up all the supplements at you local health food store, it is important to do your research and to remember that just because something is a natural herb does not mean it is 100% safe. For example, Yohimbe when taken in large doses can have serious side effects. That is why you should always purchase an herbal supplement that has undergone clinical trials and has been proven safe.
