Nature's Impotence Cures

Many men face impotence at some point in their lives. While some natural supplements for treating impotence are scams and hype, many more are truly effective in combating this common but embarrassing disorder. Fortunately, the treatment of impotence can start with natural healing supplements.
  1. Horny Goat Weed

    • A commonly used herb, horny goat weed, is exactly what it sounds like---a plant that makes male goats "frisky." It appears to have a similar effect on male humans.

    L-Arginine

    • Nitric oxide boosters, including the amino acid L-arginine, have become popular as libido enhancers. L-arginine increases the amount of nitric oxide in the blood, causing blood vessels to dilate and allow more blood flow to the genitals.

    Yohimbe

    • Unlike many herbs, yohimbe (and yohimbine, a concentrated extract of the plant) seems to treat impotence, no matter what the cause. It creates a mild state of euphoria and dilates the blood vessels effectively.

    Zinc

    • Many (if not most) Americans are alarmingly deficient in zinc, which is key to creating and maintaining adequate levels of testosterone. Zinc-deficient men often suffer from low sperm count, low testosterone and erectile dysfunction.

    Ginkgo Biloba

    • Though it is better known for its wondrous effects on enhancing memory and brain function, ginkgo biloba is also useful for treating impotence.
