Horny Goat Weed (epimedium) may be used as an herbal
aphrodisiac because it increases blood flow to the genital area, which
improves sexual energy for men and women. Called Yin-Yang Huo in China,
where it originates, because it increases sexual pleasure for the female
(yin) as well as the male (yang). Horny Goat Weed lowers blood pressure by
dilating capillaries and blood vessels while slowing the adrenal
production that can hinder blood flow to the sex organs. Men achieve
better erections due to this effect and it is thought that women benefit
from the increased blood flow as well, and perhaps from other
testosterone-like alkaloids and sterols within the plant.
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.
Used by practitioners for over 2,000 years, horny goat weed is several
species of epimedium, a leafy plant which grows in the wild, most abundantly
at higher altitudes.
THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS:
Invigorate kidney and strengthen yang to treat impotence, male and female
infertility; strengthen tendons and bones and expel wind-dampness with
numbness in extremities, muscular spasm; relieve cough and asthma;
strengthen nerves; lower blood pressures; treat coronary heart disease.
