Horny Goat Weed

Even the most perfect couples have their hard times no matter how happy they seem and that is mostly because of the sexual differences between the two. Lack of libido is one of the most frequent sexual dysfunctions and it can cause serious gaps in your relationship if left unsolved. Everybody looking to boost their sexual desire must have tried or at least must have heard of all sorts of aphrodisiacs, but the fact is that very few of them are actually effective and have no dangerous side-effects on your body. The solution comes, of course, from plants and it’s probably the best remedy Mother Nature can provide you with.

Its widespread name is Horny Goat Weed, also called Epimedium, Rowdy Lamb Herb, Bishop's Hat, Fairy Wings, or Yin Yang Huo, all these defining a perennial flowering plant that grows mostly at higher altitudes and is originated in Asia, especially in Japan, Korea and parts of China. Its cultivation has spread to Western areas in the last 100 years due to its growing popularity and use. The legend behind the funny name of Horny Goat Weed claims that a Chinese herder noticed the aphrodisiac effects of the plant on his goat flock after it ate the weed and ever since it has been widely used for its aphrodisiac properties and even as a body tonic in traditional Chinese medicine.

So, how does it actually work? Well, Mario Dell’Agli actually called it “the natural Viagra” because as he and other researchers at the University  of Milan have discovered, the main active ingredient, icariin, acts the same way sildenafil, the active substance in Viagra does. Icariin acts as an inhibitor for phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5), the enzyme that controls blood flow to the penis. It is also said to increase Nitric Oxide levels, thus relaxing smooth muscles and allowing a bigger blood flow to the penis or clitoris.

The advantage is that unlike artificial substances, Horny Goat Weed doesn’t harm your body. Because of sildenafil, for example, people with heart conditions are not allowed to take Viagra. Moreover, among other side effects, eyesight problems have been reported. All these discomforts can be eliminated by choosing the natural remedy.

And this is not all: one of the greatest advantages is its multiple use. It addresses to both men and women, it can boost erectile function, stimulate sexual desire, increase sperm production, eliminate fatigue and energize your entire body. It is also said to bring low levels of cortisol, testosterone, and thyroid hormone back to normal and it stimulates the estrogen production at women, thus alleviating or even eliminating the discomfort caused by menopause.

All in all, Horny Goat Weed is probably the best way you can get your libido to sky rocking levels and bring pleasure back in your bedroom in a safe, natural way.
