Impotence: CAM Therapies for Specific Conditions
- Ginseng has long been used to treat impotence.
Ginseng is an adaptogenic herb that improves the function of the adrenal glands
and enables the body to respond more favorably to stressors. It is also believed
to increase circulation.
- Saw palmetto is an herb that is commonly used to treat prostate disorders, including those that contribute to impotence. Several inconclusive studies have indicated that saw palmetto may reduce the size of an enlarged prostate but urinary flow is improved without a reduction in actual size.
