Description:
Horny Goat Weed has 2,**0 years to used as a sex-enhancer in
China.Many cultures report that horny goat weed supports libido,
erectile function, and helps to relieve menopausal discomfort. One
ingredient, maca, is reported to support erectile problems, for men
and women with low libido, and for women undergoing menopause.
Horny Goat Weed (epimedium) is comprised of several species of
epimedium, a leafy plant which grows in the wild, most abundantly
at higher altitudes.
Horny Goat Weed is used as an herbal aphrodisiac because it
increases blood flow to the genital area. Referred to as Yin-Yang
Huo in China, where it originates, Horny Goat Weed also lowers
blood pressure by dilating capillaries and blood vessels while
slowing the adrenal production that can prevent blood from reaching
the genitalia. Epimedium is grown as an ornamental herb in Asia and
the Mediterranean region, and various species are used for
medicinal purposes, including Epimedium sagittatum, Epimedium
brevicornum, Epimedium wushanense, Epimedium koreanum, and
Epimedium pubescens.
The leaves of Horny Goat Weed contain a variety of flavonoids,
polysaccharides, lignans, sesquiterpenes, phenolic and penethylol
glycosides, ionones, sterols, and an alkaloid called
magnaflorine.
Therapeutic effects of Horny Goat Weed include invigorating kidney
function, reversing male and female infertility, strengthen tendons
and bones, decreasing muscular spasm, relieving coughs and lowering
blood pressure. The herb has also been used for liver and kidney
toning and has improved the life of chronic renal failure patients
in a Chinese study.
Horny goat weed Claims
Because of the traditional use of epimedium for treating fatigue
and boosting sex drive, the majority of the claims for Western
dietary supplements center around sex drive: ?Boosts libido (sex
drive) ?Increases energy levels ?Enhances recovery from exercise
(via cortisol-control) ?Makes you more sexy (not really, but this
is what the ads would suggest)
Horny goat weed Theory
The use of epimedium as a medicinal herb dates back to at least **0
A.D., where it has been used as a tonic for the reproductive system
(boosting libido and treating impotence) and as a rejuvenating
tonic (to relieve fatigue). Epimedium is thought to work via
modulation of cortisol levels (the primary stress hormone). Under
conditions of high stress, the increased cortisol levels are known
to cause fatigue and depress sex drive - so bringing cortisol
levels back into normal ranges is also thought to help restore
normal metabolism, energy levels and libido.
