Three Herbs That Work Like Viagra
If you are looking for herbal alternatives to Viagra, backed by research, we present a number of
such herbs below.
Mucuna Pruriens works as a prolactin inhibitor, a growth hormone stimulant, and to increase testosterone.
A US patent was filed in 2002 on the use of mucuna pruriens to stimulate the release of growth hormone in humans. High levels of l-dopa in the mucuna seed are converted to dopamine, which stimulates the release of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. L-dopa and dopamine are effective prolactin inhibitors.
Increased levels of prolactin are considered responsible for 70% of erection failure in men. In one study, ingestion of the seeds in 56 males improved erection, duration of coitus, and post-coital satisfaction after four weeks of treatment. It also promotes spermatogenic effects in men, improving sperm count and motility.
Tribulus Terrestris is a natural testosterone enhancer. It is also said to be an excellent circulatory system tonic, and can help build muscles and strength.
Clinical studies on the sexual activity-enhancing effect of tribulus have shown it to contain protodioscin, a saponin constituent, improving libido in men with impotence due to various causes, libido in women with menopausal symptoms, and sperm motility in infertile and subfertile men.
In another study involving 59 men, ages 22-67 and suffering from a range of sexual dysfunctions, an increase in sexual desire and fantasies, as well as sexual self-confidence, was reported in almost all patients. The subjective experience of pleasure, joy and satisfaction was reported in 80%, erection improved in over 75%, and the duration of intercourse before ejaculation was prolonged in 25%.
Ashwagandha
Here is what the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center said in their Ashwagandha Clinical Summary:
“It (Ashwagandha) is also used as a general tonic, to increase energy and improve health and longevity… Ashwagandha has shown…antioxidant effects in the brain and…a tranquilizing effect on the central nervous system in animals…human studies suggest Ashwagandha may promote growth in children and improve hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell count, and sexual performance in adults”.
