Erectile dysfunction has become much less of a taboo since people figured it can be treated. As painful and horrible as this condition is, men are speaking out more and more about this issue, comparing products they cured the condition with and exchanging advice. But, as we all know, where there is human misery, there is also an endless opportunity for exploitation. Suffice to say, clever marketers have benefited tremendously from men’s desire to get rid of this frightening problem and nowadays you can hear about virtually hundreds of products that promise to cure you of erectile dysfunction with different methods. Of course this makes people skeptical, and it even becomes hard to speak to your doctor about all this, since there are so many products out there, even the most informed of specialist will have difficulties explaining what each of them does and if it can be effective in giving you a solid erection and maintaining it.
But let’s start with the obvious choice – Viagra. Ever since it became a hit in 1998, its popularity has been steadily growing, and the reason for this is simple: it is really effective. With relatively mild, although various side effects, you can start using it after consulting your doctor. Viagra might be the best treatment for temporarily curing erectile dysfunction, but that doesn’t change the fact it is an artificial drug and therefore not particularly healthy. There are many who are aware of the positive effects of Viagra, but who would prefer to go for a natural treatment. If you are one of those people, you will be glad to know that we will now examine a few of the most popular options for natural treatment of erectile dysfunction. We cannot guarantee they will be nearly as effective as Viagra, but they probably won’t have any side effects and you will be able to use them longer.
Firstly, there is Ginkgo, the herb you might have heard of as being an excellent memory booster. Well, guess what, it also enhances blood flow (something similar to what Viagra does), and has no side effects. Plus, it has been scientifically proven it has a positive effect on erection. Then there is another blood flow enhancer, the amino acid called Arginine, which is also said to help men who have circulatory disorders, but which, like Viagra, shouldn’t be used with nitrate-based medication, as it might cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. There is also a supplement of the DHEA hormone, which helps our bodies produce estrogen and testosterone. Finally, some studies have shown the herb Yohimbe is effective in treating impotence, but it was also shown it can cause a major rise in blood pressure, along with anxiety and some other, severe side effects. The best way to use it is as a prescription drug Yohimbine, since this way the herb is medically adjusted to have fewer side effects.
