20 Herbs Traditionally Used for Men's Sexual Health: What Does the Science Say?
Interest in herbs for men's sexual health has existed for centuries. Across different cultures, plants have been used traditionally for concerns involving sexual desire, energy, fertility, circulation, stress, and general vitality.
Today, many of those same herbs are marketed online with impressive promises about libido, testosterone, erections, stamina, and erectile dysfunction (ED).
But traditional use and scientific proof are not the same thing.
Research into herbal approaches to male sexual health varies considerably. Some plants have been examined in small human studies, while evidence for others comes mainly from laboratory research, animal studies, traditional practice, or research unrelated specifically to erectile dysfunction.
This article examines 20 commonly discussed herbs and plant-derived products from an educational perspective: what they have traditionally been used for, why scientists became interested in them, what research has investigated, and where important uncertainties remain.
