Natural fixes for a healthier sex life

Would you believe us if we told you that there is a natural fix for your Erectile Dysfunction (ED), low libido, premature ejaculation (PE), and sperm health? Now that we have your attention let us look into the world of Ginseng! 

Ginseng is frequently used in dietary supplements or by itself to treat a variety of conditions, including treatment for erectile dysfunction. In Asian nations, ginseng is especially well-liked. Ginseng raises nitric oxide levels, which helps with the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction impacts men's quality of life (QoL) and self‐esteem, which increases the incidence of depression and interpersonal relationship problems. It also seems to have an impact on the dopamine system, which benefits both men and women.

 

In one study, sexual desire, satisfaction, orgasm, and impotence improved in 21 of 24 men. The evidence for the effects of ginseng in treating a number of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, obesity and hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, has been examined. Ginseng has a wide range of therapeutic effects. In a healthy population, ginseng has also been used to enhance general conditions related to quality of life and sexual performance.

Natural aphrodisiacs are popular for those who want to have better sex lives, according to studies, and range from ginkgo to ginseng, from maca to horny goat weed.

The use of complementary and alternative therapies to treat sexual dysfunction is increasing. 

Types of ginseng

There are two main types of ginseng: 

Asian or Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) and 

American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). 

Studies have found that the different types have different benefits. In traditional Chinese medicine, American ginseng is considered less stimulating than the Asian variety.

 

 

Ginseng is generally classified depending on how it is processed: 

Fresh ginseng- less than four years old; 

White ginseng- four to six years old and dried after peeling; and 

Red ginseng- harvested when six years old, steamed, and dried.

Although many other herbs are called ginseng -- like eleuthero, or Siberian ginseng -- they don’t contain the active ingredient of ginsenosides.

Horny Goat Weed

Though not a pure form of ginseng, this leafy plant grows in the wild, mainly at higher altitudes, horny goat weed has been believed to enhance erectile dysfunction in males and libido in both sexes.

Does ginseng help men’s ability to have erections?

 

322 million males are expected to experience erectile dysfunction by 2025. You are not alone if you are having problems getting started or maintaining your motivation. And even if you haven't experienced it yet, there's a chance it will eventually lower your quality of life.

You'll discover there are several options available in the quest for a stronger, healthier erection and improved sexual and erectile function, including workouts, devices, a talk with your doctor, and a variety of herbal supplements and remedies. However, finding these answers isn't the challenging part.

Asian ginseng, which is native to Asia and is known by the Latin name Panax, has been utilized for thousands of years for a range of medical conditions. It is a root that is also referred to as Korean ginseng, Chinese ginseng, and Asiatic ginseng. It shares many similarities with American ginseng in that they both contain ginsenosides, which are thought to be responsible for their health advantages.

On the other hand, Siberian ginseng is a completely different plant and does not contain these active ingredients.

The "red" in Korean red ginseng refers to how the plant is processed. Panax ginseng red ginseng root is cooked and dried. Korean white ginseng is only available dry. Ginseng is grown for six years, the dirt is removed, the roots are cleaned, and it is steamed for one to three hours before being dried with hot air and/or the sun.

An adaptogen, also known as a "tonic" historically, is a general term used to describe alternative medicine that is thought to improve a person's overall health and vitality. Panax ginseng falls under this category.

Panax Ginseng and Sexual Health

Is Panax Ginseng Safe?

Possible side effects include:

Nausea 

Headaches 

Diarrhea 

Insomnia 

Hypotension 

Blood pressure abnormalities 

Headaches 

Diabetics who supplement with Panax ginseng should exercise caution due to potential blood sugar consequences. People taking blood thinners should avoid them because they can also prevent blood from clotting. Currently available treatments for erectile dysfunction include urethral suppository, vacuum erection devices, penile implants, penile revascularization, oral medication (phosphodiesterase inhibitors including avanafil, sildenafil, and tadalafil), and psychological counseling. 

 

How ginseng works

Ginseng has been used for a variety of ailments in East Asian nations for at least two to five thousand years. It is now consumed in 35 nations worldwide. Panax ginseng (Korean ginseng) has been considered to be the most beneficial among these species in enhancing brain function, reducing pain, and avoiding cancers.

Ginseng contains various chemical compounds such as ginsenosides (a class of steroid glycosides and triterpene saponins). About 150 different ginsenosides have been identified from the roots, leaves and stems, fruits, and flower heads of ginseng. Recent studies on ginseng and ginsenosides show that they have beneficial effects on cardiac and vascular diseases, blood pressure adjustment, and cardiac function improvement. 

Ginsenosides (a class of steroid glycosides and triterpene saponins) are reported as the most important active components. The mechanisms underlying the effect of ginseng in treating erectile dysfunction are thought to be related to multiple pathways.

Korean Red ginseng can be consumed as a liquid, powder, or capsule. The dried root can be purchased as well and boiled in water for tea. The ideal dosage for you should be discussed with your doctor. Never exceed the suggested dosage.

As they age, many men develop erectile dysfunction (ED) symptoms. ED, often known as impotence, is the inability to consistently achieve or sustain an erection. If you experience ED frequently, you may require medical advice for an underlying health problem.

In this approach, it's critical to handle ED. You can recover your preferred level of sexual function by making lifestyle adjustments, taking drugs, and using natural or complementary treatments.

Treating Erectile Dysfunction

Psychological factors may contribute to erectile dysfunction. A physiological reason, such as diabetes, nerve injury, or heart disease, is frequently present. Changes in lifestyle, such as decreasing weight, exercising, and giving up drinking and smoking, can frequently aid in the treatment of ED.

However, lifestyle modifications might not be sufficient to reduce symptoms, therefore drugs can be a viable alternative. Ginseng is one herbal supplement that may be beneficial. Before using any form of supplement, be sure to talk to your doctor.

In supplement form, the ginseng root is utilized as a natural cure. Before using a plant, it must first grow for five years. This typically indicates that premium ginseng is expensive.

The dried but uncooked root is called white ginseng. Korean Red ginseng is the name of the dried, steamed root.

Outlook

Asian ginseng, Chinese ginseng, Asiatic ginseng, and Korean red ginseng are all names for the root herb panax ginseng (among others). It is believed to be a powerful method for assisting with sexual dysfunction, heart health, diabetes, and even mental health function.

Ginseng’s efficacy as an erectile dysfunction treatment, much like other herbal supplements (like horny goat weed), is …

Having said that, most people normally tolerate it well and feel it is safe. Do your homework, buy items that have received positive reviews, and, most importantly, discuss your options with your healthcare physician if you're interested in using Panax ginseng or other erection therapies.

Ginseng can aid in the treatment of ED. However, ginseng shouldn't be used in place of medical advice, much like other supplements. Before using ginseng for ED, talk to your doctor. Korean Red ginseng may eventually prove to be a reliable and efficient treatment for ED with more research.
