Learning and development

Erectile dysfunction or impotence is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient enough for sexual intercourse. It can occur at any age but is most common in men over the age of 50. Now you may not realize this but erectile dysfunction is actually a very common problem. In fact, according to the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, 50% of the male population suffer from impotence! So if this is you then this statistic should make you feel better straight away because it shows that you’re definitely not alone… not by a long shot!

The biggest problem with this condition is most men don’t like to talk about it or even admit that they have trouble getting and maintaining an erection – so instead – they usually keep it to themselves and “suffer in silence”. As a man myself though I do get this. I mean, I couldn’t imagine sitting down with a mate and telling him I’m unable to get good wood. I know for women it’s very different and many females are happy to talk about their bedroom problems with their close friends. But as men we just don’t like to do this! (Yes I’ll start beating my chest like a baboon in a minute). Even talking about it with our partner or a therapist would be hard (pardon the pun) for most of us guys because as “men” our sexual performance is considered an indication of our virility and masculinity (well, according to us fellas anyway!)

The truth is, men wants to be able to please and perform for our partnersall of the time. Maybe that goes back to our caveman days, I don’t know, but if we’re unable to do this then it IS upsetting and it DOES affect us a great deal, no matter how understanding and comforting you ladies are. That’s why most guys get angry and suffer from anxiety when they have an impotence problem (which of course just makes things worse). Fortunately, the natural remedies we’re about to discuss can treat and fix erectile dysfunction quite easily.

The Real Cause of Erectile Dysfunction Revealed…

The number one thing you need to understand about erectile dysfunction is it’s not actually a disease, it’s a symptom of another (and usually worse) problem that’s going on within your body. The most common medical conditions that trigger impotence in men are type II diabetes, depression, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and prostate disease. And the two underlying factors which cause and contribute to erectile dysfunction in virtually all cases are poor blood circulation and low testosterone (sex hormone) levels. The problem is, all of the medical conditions listed above cause poor blood circulation and low testosterone levels! That’s why if you have erectile dysfunction there’s a very good chance you’ll also have one or more of these ailments (either diagnosed or undiagnosed) as well. What’s more, the pharmaceutical medications used to treat these disorders can cause further problems for an ED sufferers already ailing libido.

Here’s a few of the negative complications these conditions and their prescribed medications will cause in regards to erectile dysfunction and loss of libido…

Diabetes: Diabetes is one of the most popular first signs and symptoms of impotence. In fact, it’s not uncommon for a man to go and see his doctor about erectile dysfunction and be diagnosed with type II diabetes! Elevated blood glucose levels damage the nerves and blood vessels which are responsible for healthy blood circulation and sexual arousal in the penis. The most common side effect of diabetes medications is erectile dysfunction.

High Cholesterol: High cholesterol inhibits the production of a compound called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide increases blood flow to the penis and is necessary for men to achieve and maintain an erection. Most common side effect of cholesterol lowering drugs (fibrates) is impotence.

High Blood Pressure: High blood pressure causes blood vessel damage throughout the body – including the penis – which in turn contributes significantly to erectile dysfunction. One of the side effects of blood pressure medications (beta blockers) is impotence.

Depression: Men who suffer from depression usually suffer with impotence due to performance anxiety issues and loss of libido. A common side effect of depression and anxiety medications is also erectile dysfunction.

Prostate Disease: Prostate disease and impotence go together like a horse and cart. The swelling and inflammation caused by prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the main causes of erectile dysfunction. And of course, one of the main side effects of BPH prostate medications (alpha blockers) or prostate surgery is erectile dysfunction and loss of libido! 6

These are by no means the only health conditions and medications that can cause erectile dysfunction. Obesity, smoking and various other prescription medications also contribute significantly to impotence in men. If you are currently taking any meds that have “erectile dysfunction” listed as a side effect then it would be advisable to check with your doctor to see if there are any substitutes available. And of course, never quit taking any medication without first seeing your health care professional (we are required to throw that one in!)

Your Medical Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction…

The medical options available for actually treating impotence are woeful at best. If you’re game enough you could try a penis prosthesis or penis pump or implant (which are permanent and irreversible), or take the plunge and opt for radical vascular reconstructive surgery on your old fella to try and increase the blood flow (which rarely works). Or instead, you could go with the easier medical approaches of synthetic hormone therapy (which increases your risk of heart disease and prostate cancer) or you could decide to take pharmaceutical medications such as Cialis or the famous blue “Viagra” pill. But its been well documented that the side effects of these drugs are severe and even dangerous. Here’s just a few for good measure: Nausea, headaches, irregular heartbeat, seizures, heart attack, stroke, memory loss, loss of color vision and blindness (yes I know the joke… too much sex makes you go blind anyway!) 7

All wise cracks aside, there really aren’t any safe and viable medical treatments for impotence… not one. There are, however, some excellent and safe home remedies for erectile dysfunction that really do work amazingly well.

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction and Impotence That Give Quick Results…

Now, searching the internet for natural remedies for erectile dysfunction, I’m astounded that none of the top rating articles we’ve read (and believe me, we’ve read lots of them) talk about and recommend the most powerful and best natural cure for erectile dysfunction yet discovered! Best of all, it’s easily available and cheap to buy. So let’s not waste any more time then. Whether you’re a guy here reading this for yourself or a female reading this on behalf of your man, it doesn’t matter. Just decide to make a commitment to use all of these home remedies every day (or as many as are financially viable for you) and then lie back and watch the magic happen!

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction #1 – Boron (Borax, Boric Acid)…

Boron is one of the most potent natural treatments for erectile dysfunction you’ll ever come across. This mineral regulates the metabolism of steroid hormones, especially your sex hormones. It definitely raises your libido and contains some unique “Viagra like” properties that benefit both men and women. For men in particular, boron safely increases testosterone levels and brings them back up to their peak. This is absolutely crucial for all impotence sufferers because a low testosterone count is a major cause of this disorder.

In a recent study involving younger men (29-50 years old) researchers found that the level of free testosterone (the type that matters most) rose by one third after daily supplementation of 100 mg of borax (boron) in only one week.4 And what’s so good about boron is it increases your testosterone levels – no matter what your age! Of course, it’s well documented that testosterone levels start to drop in men once they hit their 40’s and continues to decline sharply as they get older. But the fact that boron boosts testosterone levels in older men is certainly welcome news for any mature men who are currently experiencing a loss of libido. And boron doesn’t just increase your libido either, it also increases your staying power as well so you better tell your partner to get ready for some long hot steamy nights!

Best (and Cheapest) Way to Get Your Boron Every Day…

Recent analyses show that western soils and foods are almost completely devoid of boron, which is why we now see boron deficiency disorders such as erectile dysfunction so rampant amongst western males. So to receive the required dose of boron every day, you’re going to have to supplement. Fortunately, this is super easy and dirt cheap to do. However, before you start taking borax it’s vital that you first read the article below on exactly how to make up the required amount. And even though the article is titled “The Borax Conspiracy – How the Arthritis Cure Has Been Stopped” it’s not just about arthritis so please take the time to read the article in full and pay particular attention to the “What and How Much to Use” section… health-science-spirit/borax-conspiracy.

Natural Remedies for Impotence #2 – Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)…

Here at life-saving-naturalcures-and-naturalremedies, we make no bones about the fact that apple cider vinegar is one of our all-time favourite natural treatments. There really isn’t a single ailment or health problem that ACV can’t help with. And impotence is definitely on its radar!

The great thing about using apple cider vinegar to treat erectile dysfunction is it goes to work very quickly. You may even notice a rise in sexual desire after just one dose, but usually it starts to really kick in after a couple of days. ACV doesn’t actually treat erectile dysfunction directly as such, what it does do is treat the problems that cause impotence (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and prostatitis). It works to repair damaged blood vessels and nerve fibers in the penis, along with reducing the pain and swelling of the prostate gland. Recent reports also suggest that apple cider vinegar may help to increase testosterone levels, which could further explain its potent benefits in regards to treating erectile dysfunction. And to top it off, ACV is also an excellent natural weight loss aid so if you are wanting to lose some extra pounds, this supplement will help with this as well!

Best Ways to Get Your ACV…

The cost of apple cider vinegar is very reasonable. Simply mix a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar (must be organic and still contain the “mother” apple) – together with some lemon juice and Manuka honey for taste – in a glass of warm filtered water and drink 20 minutes before your meal. Repeat this three times per day. Or if you find you can’t handle the taste of the liquid ACV then you can opt for the apple cider vinegar capsules instead. Just make sure the brand you buy contains at least 500mg’s of ACV per tablet. Take 2-3 capsules daily 20 minutes before each main meal.

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction #3 – Magnesium…

Magnesium works in conjunction with boron and you definitely need both of these minerals together to effectively treat and cure impotence.

Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels and for preventing and treating heart disease (along with the accompanying health problems such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol). It also helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with diabetes, depression and anxiety. For these reasons, it’s vital that you make magnesium a part of your “erectile dysfunction” regimen. This is yet another nutrient that has been virtually wiped from our food crops and soils so supplementation is essential. The easiest and cheapest way to do this is with a transdermal magnesium spray (magnesium is best absorbed through the pores of the skin). You can either buy a premixed magnesium spray or make up your own, which is simple to do. Just follow these instructions…

Boil up some distilled water (distilled water keeps longer than regular water) then add 2 cups of boiled water and 2 cups of magnesium chloride flakes to a glass bowl or pot. Mix thoroughly until the flakes are completely dissolved. Leave to cool then mix again and pour the contents into a glass spray bottle or plastic spray bottle (glass is preferable). Shake well before using then apply 8-10 spray’s on the skin to various parts of the body (mainly arms, legs and torso). Leave on for at least an hour before showering. Do this once a day.

Note: If you do find the spray uncomfortable (some people do), then there’s an alternative magnesium product you can take. It’s called Natural Calm and we consider it one of the true “wonder supplements”! Not only does it give you a highly absorbable supply of magnesium, it also helps you to sleep much better and is great for anyone who suffers with depression and anxiety (hence the name “natural calm”). You can find out more and read some testimonials here.

Natural Remedies for Impotence #4 – L-arginine…

The amino acid L-arginine is another very potent home remedy for impotence. In a study published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy back in 2003, Bulgarian researchers found that when they gave L-arginine to erectile dysfunction sufferers along with pycnogenol (pine bark, grape seed extract), all participants reported a major improvement in sexual desire and sexual function… with zero side effects!

What most people (including doctors) don’t know is that arginine works the same as the active ingredient in Viagra (sildenafil citrate), but without the terrible side effects. It safely increases the production of nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes the muscles and blood vessels in the penis so blood flow is naturally increased. L-arginine has also been found to increase testosterone levels, which provides a further benefit to impotence sufferers. Arginine actually works so well that it’s rare a male suffering with erectile dysfunction doesn’t receive a noticeable lift (yes another bad joke) from taking this particular amino acid. It also starts to give results quite quickly, usually within the first few days.

Not only is arginine an excellent treatment for erectile dysfunction, according to a recent study published by the American Heart Association, it helps to strengthen the heart and increase blood circulation in patients with heart disease and circulatory problems. Further studies have found that L-arginine also stops the build-up of plaque on the arterial walls of high cholesterol patients.

So get set to enjoy these positive health benefits as well!

Where to Buy L-arginine and Recommended Dosages…

You can buy L-arginine from virtually any health food store or online from places such as Amazon. For dosages, take between 2000-2,500 mg’s daily after your evening meal. Also try and take it with pine bark (pycnogenol) at 40 mg’s, 3 times per day (the same as what was taken in the study) for maximum effect. You can also substitute the pycnogenol for grape seed extract if you choose. This is much cheaper to buy and still does the same job. For dosages, just follow the directions on the bottle.

If you’re interested, you can read more about the study results here… Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction With Pycnogenol and L-arginine.

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction #5 – Cayenne Pepper and Garlic…

Make no mistake, this combination is one extremely powerful and fast-acting treatment for erectile dysfunction. In the words of 80’s music duo, Ashford and Simpson, it will make you as “Solid as a Rock” in no time flat! In fact, a lot of guys who don’t even suffer from impotence actually use this remedy because it gives you excellent staying power as well. And you don’t have to wait long for this remedy to kick in. Usually about 3 hours is all you need before you’re ready to go.

So why does this remedy work so good? Well cayenne pepper increases circulation right throughout the body – including the genital area – and the garlic helps to dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow. When the two are combined, they become a very potent combination for reducing blood pressure and treating high cholesterol and adult-onset diabetes. Of course, they’re also the ultimate dog and bone booster!

Best Way to Get Your Cayenne and Garlic…

Cayenne pepper is basically a red hot chilli pepper. If you are used to eating hot and spicy foods then you may be okay with it. For the rest of us, we recommend taking it in capsule form. It’s so much easier and less painful! With the garlic, you can either use fresh garlic (which does give you garlic breath) or take odourless garlic tablets. Just make sure you take the cayenne and garlic together and take them before food on an empty stomach. With the capsules, take one of each 2-3 times daily before a meal. Also try and use cayenne pepper (chillies) and garlic in your cooking as much as possible. Remember, you can never overdose on these amazing herbs and spices so go nuts with them!

Natural Remedies for Impotence #6 – Maca Root…

The Peruvian maca root is such a potent aphrodisiac that many people actually say it works too well! I know, it sounds crazy but some users say that when they take maca all they do is think about sex 24/7. But hey, isn’t it better and healthier to be thinking about sex rather than thinking negative thoughts or thinking about what’s wrong with the world (or worse, not thinking about sex at all)?

Well, we think so!

The great thing about maca is it helps both males AND females suffering with low libido and works for virtually 100% of people (and works quickly). This is the real deal folks and a downright sexual miracle! And maca also gives you plenty of other positive side effects and health benefits including… boosting your stamina and energy levels and keeping you calm and relaxed – and it’s a powerful mood stimulator and elevator as well! In fact, it’s virtually impossible to feel depressed, or uptight for that matter, after taking your maca. And the lift in energy you get is also very noticeable, but amazingly, you still sleep soundly at night.

So, if you had to pick just one herb for overall good health (and sexual health), this would be it!

Here’s what our good friend and Medical genius Dr. Garry Gordon has to say about maca…

“Using this Peruvian maca root myself, I personally experienced a significant improvement in erectile tissue response. What I see in Peruvian maca root is a means of normalizing our steroid hormones like testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. Therefore it has facility to forestall the hormonal changes of aging.”

Dr. Garry F, Gordon, M.D., Chicago, Illinois. (You can also read our exclusive interview with Dr Gordon by clicking on this link).

Where Do You Buy Maca And How Much Do You Take?

You can buy plain maca root (to make a tea or tincture) or maca powder or capsules from most health food retailers or online from places such as Amazon.com. This herb is perfectly safe so you can have as much as you like. Begin with the directions on the container then increase if desired. Most people notice a difference within a few days but give it at least one to two weeks to really kick in and get you going!

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction #7 – Korean Red Ginseng (Panax Ginseng)…

Korean red ginseng is nicknamed “the herbal Viagra” and is an extremely effective natural treatment for erectile dysfunction. It increases blood flow to the penis, which allows for more intense and longer lasting erections. Back in 2008, researchers examined seven different studies from the use of panax ginseng for impotence. Their final report stated there was “suggestive evidence for the effectiveness of red ginseng in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.” 3

You can easily purchase Korean red ginseng online. Dosages required are in the range of 600 to 1,000 mg’s three times daily before meals. And for even more sexual potency, you can combine ginseng with the herb rhodiola rosea at 200 mg’s a day. The results of a recent study showed that this African herb increased sexual function in impotent men by 68% so it’s definitely worth considering. 2

Natural Remedies for Impotence #8 – Tribulus Terrestris…

We originally had this one on our “Suspect Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction” list (see below) but have now moved it up here to our must use remedies. The reason for this is simple.

It works!

A 2013 study that was done on Tribulus for treating erectile dysfunction found no additional benefit and researchers concluded by saying… “Tribulus terrestris was not more effective than placebo at improving symptoms of erectile dysfunction or serum total testosterone”. The problem with this study, and what’s recently come to light is that the dosage used was too low! Male participants were only taking 800 mgs of Tribulus twice daily. The recommended dose (to increase testosterone and libido levels) is AT LEAST 2,000 mg’s per day – not 1,600. No wonder these guys didn’t receive any benefit! 1

Now, without going into too much detail, I recently used Tribulus myself for the first time as a performance enhancer for my gym training. Not only did it help to increase my strength and stamina levels a lot, I also noticed an increase in my libido levels within 4-5 weeks – quite a substantial increase in fact (I’m 50 years old too by the way). I have to say this was totally unexpected, but not a bad thing (don’t know if my wife felt the same way, lol). So I highly recommend this one for increasing your libido and energy levels. It works a treat. Just make sure you take at least 2,000 mg’s a day and give it a minimum of 4 weeks to really kick in strong.

Here’s some of the top Tribulus supplements on the market if you’re interested… Tribulus Terrestris Exract.

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction #9 – Plenty of Zinc a Must!

Zinc is absolutely vital for the health of the prostate gland and low levels have been linked to impotence and sexual dysfunction in men. In studies, zinc supplementation has been found to increase serum testosterone and insulin-like growth factor-I levels, making it a crucial nutrient for the successful treatment of this condition. Other medical disorders such as diabetes, cancer, liver or kidney disease can also cause low zinc levels so supplementation is very important. Best ways to do this are with a good quality liquid zinc supplement and colloidal minerals. For dosages, refer to the directions on the bottles.

Natural Remedies for Impotence #10 – Niacin Needed…

Niacin (vitamin B3) is a potent treatment for erectile dysfunction. In fact, according to a recent study on impotence, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers found that niacin was able to help men maintain an erection after taking a niacin supplement for 12 weeks. The initial dose was 500mg daily for the first week, then it was increased to 1000mg a day, and then 1500mg after week six of the study.

You can also buy niacin supplements very easily online or from most health food stores. Follow the same dosages and regimen as the study and allow at least 10-12 weeks for the full effects to be felt. Also eat plenty of chicken, fish and grains as these are rich in niacin. 8

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction #11 – Muira Puama…

Muira puama is a flowering bush found in the amazon jungle. Brazilians have been using this folk remedy to treat joint pain, digestive problems and impotence for thousands of years. It’s considered a strong male aphrodisiac in this country and many men swear by its effectiveness. You can also buy muira puama online or from most well stocked health stores. For dosages simply follow the directions on the bottle.

Natural Remedies for Impotence #12 Horny Goat Weed…

Horny goat weed is another strong and “instant” natural treatment for erectile dysfunction. According to Chinese folklore, a goat farmer noticed a big increase in sexual activity in his flock whenever they ate the weed (hence the well thought out name “horny goat weed”). Humans have been using this plant ever since (both men and women) as an aphrodisiac and sexual enhancer. For men, it helps to treat impotence by increasing nitric oxide levels. Horny goat weed also enhances testosterone levels, and according to Italian researchers, contains a compound called icariin, which works in a similar fashion as Viagra by inhibiting the PDE-5 enzyme (this enzyme inhibits penile erection, which is precisely what you don’t want to happen). 9

Horny goat weed has now become a massive seller world-wide with billions in sales each year. You can buy it from virtually any health food store or online retailers such as Amazon.com.

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction #13 – Saw Palmetto…

Saw palmetto is an excellent remedy for impotence, particularly if the problem is caused by prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The benefit of saw palmetto is it reduces the swelling and inflammation of the prostate and is especially useful for sufferers who are able to get sexually aroused but are unable to get an erection. This is another herb you can easily purchase online or from most health food stores. For best results, take at least the maximum amount listed on the directions of the bottle every day (saw palmetto is very safe so you can take more if you want to).

Natural Remedies for Impotence #14 – Foods to Avoid – Foods to Eat…

There are definitely some foods (and liquids) that impede blood flow to the penis, cause low testosterone levels, and affect sexual performance and arousal in men. The worst by far are all refined and processed foods. These include fried foods, takeaway foods, liquid vegetable oils (such as Crisco), processed dairy, all soda drinks (including diet sodas) and alcohol. You can also throw cigarettes and smoking into this mix as well (even though they aren’t foods). An easy rule of thumb with this one is anything that has been made or tampered with by man should be avoided at all costs!

For the foods you need to be eating more of, it’s the usual (healthy) suspects… fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs such as garlic and ginger, along with fish, chicken, and healthy grains, seeds and nuts such as linseeds, pumpkin seeds (these are very good for the prostate gland), chia seeds, Brazil nuts (also very good for male sex organs) and whole grains. Also salt your food with plenty of Himalayan pink rock salt as this contains lots of essential minerals such as zinc, boron and magnesium. And don’t worry, it won’t give you high blood pressure either! (Pink rock salt actually helps to lower blood pressure). For more information on this, we suggest you read our salt and high blood pressure article.

In addition to these, you must also drink at least two litres (1/2 a gallon) of filtered water every day. If you find that you struggle with drinking water then adding a slice of lemon or lime to it will improve the taste and make it much easier and more enjoyable to drink.

Let the Truth be Told…

It’s time to be brutally honest about this one. If you eat crap, drink crap and treat your body like crap then you cannot seriously expect it to perform at its peak (nor can you expect Mr Johnson to perform at his peak either!) If you’re serious about fixing your erectile dysfunction for good then you absolutely must eat healthy and only have things like alcohol as a very occasional treat. Your body will definitely thank you for it!

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction #15 – Exercise and Weight Loss…

This impotence remedy follows on from #13. Research shows that males who exercise during midlife reduce their risk of suffering from erectile dysfunction by a whopping 70%!  10

Most men who suffer from erectile dysfunction are overweight, and the main problem is excess body fat causes inflammation and makes the body convert testosterone into estrogen (this is definitely not good for males). Regular exercise, on the other hand, helps the body to release testosterone and increases blood flow. In a recent study, one-third of overweight men with impotence regained full sexual function after partaking in a two-year weight loss program. This is why it’s extremely rare that male athletes suffer from impotence or sexual dysfunction (unless they’re taking performance enhancing drugs of course). It’s a proven fact that exercise helps keep you virile!

So following and sticking to a regular exercise program is a “must do” treatment for erectile dysfunction. And it doesn’t have to be complicated either. A simple brisk walk or riding your push bike every day is usually all that’s needed. However, if you would like to tone up and really get into shape then we highly recommend you find a good gym with qualified trainers and start weight training. This form of training is one of the best for overall toning, fitness and weight loss. Weight training also increases testosterone levels and blood flow throughout the body better than any other style of exercise. However, if you’re not comfortable with joining a gym then here’s a great book to read on how to get started with weight training (without having to join a gym)… Your Body is Your Gym.

Natural Remedies for Impotence #16 – The Psychological Aspect of Impotence…

The psychological aspect of erectile dysfunction can certainly not be overlooked. Depression and anxiety are the two biggest psychological causes. Thankfully, if you follow our advice and regularly take supplements such as maca and Tribulus you won’t have to worry too much about this.

There are, however, other psychological problems that can cause impotence. Some of these include:

• going through relationship challenges. Being unable to talk openly about any sexual problems you have.
• lack of sexual knowledge and feeling inferior to your partner.
• having sexual problems in the past.
• past sexual abuse.
• being in a new relationship.

If you think the cause of your erectile dysfunction is psychological then it’s important you talk to someone about it, no matter how difficult it may be. Of course, your partner should definitely be the first person. It’s important they know the recent problem you’ve been having in the bedroom is actually a medical/health problem (that can be fixed of course) and not a loss of sexual interest in them. There are also help lines available in some countries where you can talk to someone but remain anonymous if you aren’t comfortable talking to a sex therapist face to face. Sometimes, just talking about it and getting it off your chest can be a big relief and this might be all that you need to help give you your confidence back in the bedroom!

Suspect and Unproven Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction to Watch Out For…

Yes, there are plenty more natural treatments for erectile dysfunction out there. However, we suggest you save your money as most of these remedies are either unproven or work on a hit and miss basis (usually miss). Here’s a few you might want to steer clear of…

Yohimbe: Yohimbe does actually work very well for impotence, but it does come with some undesirable side effects. The cons definitely outweigh the pros with this one so we suggest you avoid it.

Spanish Fly: This concoction is made from dead insects (a beetle in fact) and is very toxic to the body. It was originally designed as a topical treatment and was never designed to be taken internally. Does it actually work? Who knows and who cares to be honest because this stuff is really dangerous! Don’t touch it with a ten foot pole.

Ginkgo Biloba: Now don’t get me wrong, ginkgo is a terrific herb, especially for helping kids with ADD and ADHD. There’s just no real evidence that it’s a worthwhile remedy for impotence. It’s much better to go with a proven herb like maca instead for treating erectile dysfunction.

DHEA From Wild Yam and Soy: DHEA is a steroid hormone that the body converts into sex hormones (such as testosterone). As men age, DHEA levels drop, which can cause impotence. Wild yam and soy contain DHEA and some of the claims are that by eating or taking these foods in supplemental form you’ll increase your DHEA levels (and in turn your testosterone levels). However, this is just not the case as the body cannot convert wild yam or soy into DHEA on its own (it must be done in a laboratory first). So the advice on this one is to save your money. And you don’t need to be worried about trying to increase your DHEA levels anyway. Some of the recommendations we’ve already listed (borax, ACV, arginine, tribulus, zinc/colloidal minerals and maca) will naturally boost your DHEA levels and bring them back up to where they’re supposed to be anyway.

L-Carnitine: According to a couple of recent studies, this amino acid may in fact help with erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow. However, you can get a lot more “bang for your buck” with herbs and spices such as maca, ginseng, cayenne pepper and garlic so we suggest you go with these instead.

“Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction” Final Word…

So there you have our top 16 home remedies for erectile dysfunction, along with our tips on which remedies you should avoid. We firmly believe you now have everything you need to successfully treat and cure your impotence for good and become a stud muffin in the bedroom once again! But with any advice or recommendation, it’s only worthwhile if it’s acted upon and put into practice. Otherwise, it’s just pointless information.

You will also find that you’ll need to experiment with some of the remedies and treatments listed to see which ones work best for you. Sometimes, what works for one person doesn’t always work for another. Like we said earlier, use as many as are financially viable for you. The cheaper remedies such as the ACV, zinc, borax, magnesium spray, maca, cayenne pepper and garlic are the no brainers and should be your first pick of the bunch. And also remember that the last three home remedies listed (14, 15 & 16) are non-negotiable! You cannot skip or scrimp on these if you’re serious about getting rid of your Ed and finally being able to put it in the past (where it belongs).

In addition, because erectile dysfunction is closely tied to diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, we suggest you take the time to read our articles on these important topics as well. You can click on each of the links located on our navigation bar to go there.

So, we really hope that you take what we’ve given here and apply it consistently for the rest of your life. If you do, we guarantee there’s going to be plenty of bow chicka wow wow happening in your house from now on!

All the best and go for it!
