How Natural Penis Enhancement Pills Work
How Natural Penis Enhancement Pills Work
Years ago, men in our culture pretty much accepted whatever they
were dealt in the sexual department, and they certainly didn't
talk about their problems or concerns. Today, men aren't willing
to live with uncertainty, embarrassment or feelings of
inadequacy when it comes to sex -- and fortunately, they've
found there really is something they can do about it. With the
advent of prescription drugs for impotence, men began to
question their long-held beliefs that sexual problems were just
something you had to learn to live with (or deny). But
prescription drugs aren't for everyone, and indeed, most men
have concerns that can be addressed more simply and
inexpensively than with doctor's office visits and subsequent
pharmaceutical prescriptions.
Now men have another option: all-natural male enhancement
supplements. Anyone who's been watching TV or using the Internet
lately knows these products are out there, but few know how they
work or which products do work.
So let's take a look at how these products do the job and what
makes them effective for hundreds of thousands of men.
Quality male enhancement pills contain a number of botanical and
natural ingredients that come from around the world, with proven
anecdotal records of success in increasing libido, empowering
sexual drive and function, and creating greater stamina and
erection hardness. Today, even medical doctors, typically
resistant to herbal and naturopathic healing, now endorse
natural formulas for male sexual enhancement.
The best formulas out there contain scientifically tested,
potent aphrodisiac herbal concentrates from China, Europe and
South America to successfully stimulate sexual activity,
maintain a firm erection and increase sexual pleasure.
First, they promote peripheral tissue vasodilation to improve
arterial erectile function. The ingredients have a direct effect
on the endothelial cells, which enhances blood flow of both
penile arteries and veins without any change in the systemic
blood pressure. Some formulas also have the ability to relax and
tonify the nervous system, which is necessary to deal fully with
psychological stressors present.
When looking for a good supplement, you may come across many of
the same ingredients in many of them -- however, keep in mind
that it is not only the specific components, but the blends,
proportions and formulation that make a difference. Here are
some of the herbs commonly used, and their effects in the male
body:
- Epimedium Leaf Extract Epimedium was discovered
in 200 BC. Legend has it that an ancient Chinese goat herder
noticed that his flock suddenly became sexually active after
grazing in a certain patch of weed. The Chinese consider
Epimedium to be the premier libido lifter for men. It is also
reputed to have a testosterone effect, to stimulate the sensory
nerves and restore sexual desire. After centuries of use in
China, top medical doctors now report that Epimedium can be used
to boost libido, improve erectile function, restore sexual power
and increase sensation. Scientifically, Epimedium works by
freeing up testosterone, which naturally increases sex drive and
endurance.
- Cuscuta Seed Extract Cuscuta is frequently used in
long-term tonic programs, most commonly to strengthen the
uro-genital functions. It is used to treat premature
ejaculation, frequent urination and leukorrhea as well as aching
lower back, symptoms that often accompany deficient kidney
conditions which cause sexual weakness. Cuscuta seed is also
widely used to nourish the sperm and marrow and strengthen
sinews of the sexual organs. It is used to increase fertility in
both men and women, and is listed as an aphrodisiac in all
traditional Chinese pharmacopoeias.
- Ginko Biloba Leaf For over 5,000 years, Ginkgo has
been prescribed in Chinese herbal medicine. In the last 30
years, more that 300 studies have given clinical evidence that
Ginkgo prevents and benefits many problems throughout the entire
body. Ginkgo is gaining recognition as a brain tonic that
enhances memory because of its positive effects on the vascular
system, especially in the cerebellum. Ginkgo improves peripheral
circulation, oxygenation, and increases blood flow to the
genitals to improve sexual function and the power of an
erection. In a recent scientific study, 78% of men with
non-medically caused impotence problems reported significant
improvement - significantly, with no side effects. Ginkgo has
been shown to be nutritional support for mental alertness,
enhanced vitality level, circulatory health and blood vessel
health. Note that its high antioxidant activity is valuable for
fighting age-related conditions. Ginkgo may help to counteract
the effects of aging, including mental fatigue and lack of
energy.
- Asian Red Ginseng - Panax Ginseng Ginseng is
traditionally used to overcome general weakness and deliver
extra energy. It also has aphrodisiacal powers. Used to combat
non medically caused impotence, and premature ejaculation,
Ginseng helps normalize blood pressure while rejuvenating and
revitalizing the body. It also promotes the growth of nerve
tissue. A key ingredient of Ginseng is ginsenoside, which alters
blood flow to the brain and penis and can build blood and sperm.
Russian scientists have reported and recorded that Ginseng
stimulates both physical and mental activity, enhances athletic
performance and has a positive effect on the sex glands.
- Saw Palmetto Berry - Fructus Serenoae Native
Americans and early American settlers used Saw Palmetto to treat
problems associated with the genitals, urinary tract and
reproductive system. This herb is called the "plant catheter"
due to its therapeutic effect on the neck of the bladder and the
prostate in men. Saw Palmetto is widely used in Germany, Canada,
the United Kingdom and the U.S. for nutritionally benefiting the
prostate and urinary tract. Saw Palmetto is a tonic, and is one
of the few herbal remedies that are considered to be anabolic --
strengthening and building body tissues. The Saw Palmetto
berries have long held a reputation as sexual stimulants and
aphrodisiacs. Their largest use today is as a supplement for
reducing enlarged prostate glands, treating urinary tract
problems and for improving body strength. Saw Palmetto has shown
significant action in treatment of conditions associated with
benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Saw Palmetto extract works
to prevent testosterone from converting into
dihydrotestosterone, the hormone thought to cause prostrate
cells to multiply which leads to an enlarged prostate. Saw
Palmetto inhibits androgen and estrogen receptor activity and
may be beneficial for both sexes in balancing the hormones.
Because of its hormonal effects, Saw Palmetto can aid the
thyroid in regulating sexual development and normalizing
activity of those glands and organs.
- Muira Pauma Bark Extract Muria Puama is an herb from
a shrub native to Brazil, otherwise known as "Potency Wood".
Both verbal and written historical records show that Muria Puama
helps with lack of sexual desire and the difficulty to maintain
erection. Muria Puama is used to restore sexual virility and to
treat genital weakness "of intent", meaning the strength
associated with sexual desire and potency in men. The textbook
Specific Indications for Herbs in General Use, published by the
Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, lists benefits of Muria
Puama to these specific body systems: Improvement in
reproductive system function, adrenal stress, cardiovascular
system function, central nervous system activity, renal
activity, and thyroid stress. Recent clinical studies further
validate the potency of Muria Puama.
- Catuaba Bark Extract Catuaba has a long history in
herbal medicine as a male 'strengthener' and aphrodisiac. The
Tupi Indians in Brazil first discovered the qualities of the
Catuaba plant and over the last centuries, have composed many
songs praising its wonders. Indigenous people and local people
have used Catuaba for generations and it is the most famous of
all Brazilian aphrodisiaca plants. In the state of Minas there
is a saying which goes, "Until a father reaches 60, the son is
his, after that the son is Catuaba's." According to Dr. Meira
Penna, Catuaba "functions as a stimulant of the nervous system,
above all when one deals with functional impotence of the male
genital organs... it is an innocent aphrodisiac, used without
any ill effects at all." In Brazilian herbal medicine today,
Catuaba is regarded as an aphrodisiac with "proven efficacy."
Herbalists and health practitioners in the United States use
Catuaba regularly as a tonic for genital function, as a central
nervous system stimulant, and for treatment of sexual non
medically caused impotence. According to Michael van Straten,
noted British author and researcher of medicinal plants, Catuaba
is beneficial to both men and women as an aphrodisiac, but "it
is in the area of male impotence that the most striking results
have been reported" and "there is no evidence of side effects,
even after long-term use."
- Hawthorn Berry - Fructus Crataegi This
phytochemical, with exceptional preventive capacities, comes
from the hawthorn tree. Hawthorn is rich in bioflavonoids, which
relax and dilate the arteries. These compounds are powerful
antioxidants that help increase the flow of blood and oxygen to
the heart. This reduces the work required by the heart to
circulate blood, and in- turn this reduces blood pressure and
stress to the heart muscle. The bioflavonoid substances in
Hawthorn give strength to the walls of blood vessels and improve
blood flow to other areas of the body. Components in Hawthorn
have also been shown to lower cholesterol, and the amount of
plaque in arteries. Officially approved for pharmaceutical use
in Germany, government studies show the Hawthorn plant to be
completely free of any side effects. European studies have shown
that the Hawthorn botanical increases blood flow to the heart
and brain, protects the heart from irregular beats, enhances the
strength of the heart's contractions, and mildly lowers blood
pressure.
Other botanicals appear in male sexual aids, as well; its
advisable to research the effects. The ingredients shown above
are the "gold standard" however; they can be found in the
correct proportions in a very popular supplement called VigRX
