Erectile dysfunction (نفس کا ڑھیلا پن) is a condition that bothers almost every 4th male caused by different factors, including age, weight, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, the trauma of genital organs and alcohol intake. While prescription medications such as USA-based blue pills are commonly used to treat (ED ,آلہ تناسل کی کمزوری) some people like to try natural remedies(الہ تناسل کی خرابی کا گھریلو علاج) as their 1st option.
Question is, Do natural remedies(گھریلو ٹوٹکے/علاج) for ED actually work? Let’s find out some of the most popular ones and try to analyze if they have any effect on ED?
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of Chinese traditional medicine which involves the insertion of a tiny needle into specific points on the body to unblock the energy channels and improve overall health. Some studies have suggested that acupuncture is an effective treatment for ED. For example, a study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine in 2013 found that acupuncture had positive results on erectile function. However, deeper research is needed.
L-arginine
L-arginine is an amino acid that helps the body to produce nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that relaxes Smooth muscles present in blood vessels resulting in reducing the peripheral resistance thus improving blood flow. Some studies have suggested that supplements having L-arginine can improve erectile function in men with ED. However, the evidence is not sufficient, and more research is required to determine its optimal dosage and efficacy and the long-term safety of L-arginine supplements.
Panax ginseng
Panax ginseng, AKA Korean ginseng used for centuries in traditional medicine to improve sexual function. Some studies have suggested that Panax ginseng may improve ED for example, a study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology in 2008 explained that Panax ginseng can recover erectile function. However, more research is needed.
Yohimbe
Yohimbe is derived from the bark of the African tree. Yohimbe is a herbal supplement. It is often used as a natural remedy for ED in African countries. However, the evidence for its effectiveness is not enough, and there are questions on its safety. Yohimbe’s side effects include nausea, anxiety, and hypertension, and it can interact with certain medicines too.
Exercise and diet
Regular exercise and a healthy diet can help improve overall health, which can in turn improve erectile function. For example, a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2015 found that males who had a Mediterranean diet had better erection than those who took a typical Western diet. Similarly, a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2017 found that those males who engaged in regular physical activity had a lower risk of developing ED.
The conclusion in this discussion is that some natural remedies (گھریلو ٹوٹکے/علاج) for ED may have benefits, but the evidence for their effectiveness is limited. Men who are experiencing ED should talk to their physician to determine the underlying cause first and then help them to explore all up-to-date available treatment options, including different sorts of therapies (cryotherapy, magnotherapy, shock wave so on), prescription medications, and lifestyle changes.
