 Horny Goat Weed - For Increased Libido and Sexual Wellbeing Horny goat weed is one of the most popular supplements in the world today to increase libido and for overall sexual wellness in both men and women. But, does Horny Goat Weed live up to its name? Let’s look at the facts in relation to its affect on libido and find out. The Legend It is believed that horny goat weed got its name from a Chinese goat feeder 2,000 years ago when he noticed an increase in sexual activity when he fed it to his herd of goats and the name lives on today. Popularity While Horny Goat Weed has been used in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years and prescribed as a sexual aphrodisiac, it has now become one of the most popular sexual wellness and libido enhancers in the west, either on its own, or blended with other ingredients. What actually is it? Epimedium to give it its proper scientific name which is also known under the following names: Barrenwort, Bishop's Hat, Fairy Wings, or Yin Yang Huo and of course Horny Goat Weed It consists of around 25 species of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Berberidaceae. They are found in southern Europe, and central, southern and eastern Asia and it thrives at high altitudes (they are hardy perennials) They have a distinctive look four-petals that arranged in a spider-like shape. Medical evidence Horny Goat Weed is believed to work by increasing levels of nitric oxide, which is essential to an erection as it allows blood flow to increase to the genitals and create an erection for example. Medical testing has been done and it has been shown that Horny Goat Weed is able to relax rabbit penile tissue by increasing nitric oxide and PDE-5 activity. Other medical research has demonstrated that injections of Epimedium extract, directly into the penis of rats will show an increase in the penile blood pressure of the animal. There have also been testing done on humans with clinical studies in a double blind test showing that patients taking Horny Goat Weed showed an increase in libido and sexual satisfaction. Medical opinion is still skeptical about the affect of Horny Goat Weed, but consider this: What works for one Does not work for all, but enough people take it (and have been doing so for thousands of years ) and its millions of people who swear it does, not just a few. Of course, as with all herbs opinion is divided, so the best way is really to try it for yourself and see. Finally, it’s easy to obtain in most good health shops. It may not be the best herb ( see other articles in this series ) but it is one that is worth consideration in terms of increasing libido and overall sexual wellness.
