Erectile dysfunction, or, as it is popularly called, impotence, is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection until the completion of a full sexual intercourse. Periodically, this condition can occur in any man, regardless of age. And if you do not treat this problem properly, it can really end in complete impotence (sexual impotence). Statistics show that more than 40% of men after 35 years of age in one way or another experience problems with erection. If a similar problem lasts more than 3-6 months, doctors can talk about erectile dysfunction.
Impotence - symptoms. Treatment with folk remedies. Causes
The signs of erectile dysfunction, depending on the cause that caused it, may differ slightly, but they have one essence - this is a weakening of the erection or its complete absence. Consider several reasons why an erection can become unstable:
- Gradually, over the years, an erection becomes weaker and occurs less frequently, and at some point completely disappears - this may indicate that the reason lies in a slowly progressing physical problem, for example, in the development of some kind of chronic disease (diabetes mellitus, epilepsy , atherosclerosis, etc.).
- If at the right time a good erection occurs, but disappears at the very beginning of sexual intercourse, then from a physical point of view everything is in order, and the problem is increased anxiety about sexual capabilities. This happens in men especially emotional. In this case, the man is advised not to think about what impression he will make on the partner, but to switch to his feelings (think less with his head), and, most likely, the problem will disappear on its own.
- Another option: an erection perfectly occurs when necessary, but can gradually disappear a few minutes after the start of sexual intercourse - this means that blood from the cavernous bodies of the penis has returned to the large circle of blood circulation. On the physical side of the matter, everything is in order, and the fact that ejaculation did not happen does not mean anything. It's just that the body does not need this at the moment, or the man’s psycho-emotional state is to blame.
Morning erection
Normally, during an REM sleep phase (dream phase), an erection occurs in men. This can happen 2-4 times a night, of course, it is impossible to feel it in a dream, but if a man wakes up in this phase of sleep, he will feel an erection. If a morning erection occurs quite often, this indicates that everything is in order with the man in physiological terms. If there is a problem with potency in this case, you should pay attention to the psycho-emotional state. But if an erection in the morning is not observed for a rather long time, it is necessary to undergo an examination, perhaps there is a disease that needs to be treated. In an advanced case, the problem of impotence may develop. Treatment with folk remedies will help to cope with temporary problems of erectile dysfunction, and is also a method of its prevention.
What factors can lead to impotence?
Erectile dysfunction is not only a sexual problem, sometimes it is a symptom of some other serious illness, emotional fatigue and constant stress at work or in the family, as well as a side effect of a drug. It can be:
- endocrine diseases (diabetes mellitus, pituitary tumor, hypogonadism - insufficient production of testosterone);
- local tissue change in the male genitalia (sclerosis);
- side effect of antibiotics;
- urinary tract infection (urethritis, prostatitis);
- sexually transmitted infections (syphilis, etc.);
- violation of the blood supply to the vessels of the erectile mechanism;
- pelvic surgery;
- hypertension;
- atherosclerosis;
- neurological diseases (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, etc.);
- psycho-emotional states (stress, depression, mental disorders).
Types of Erectile Dysfunction
Depending on the cause of sexual weakness, experts distinguish two types of erectile dysfunction: organic and psychogenic.
Organic dysfunction is associated with the development of a disease (diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, etc.), which caused sexual weakness. In this case, it is necessary to treat not impotence, but the disease that caused it.
Psychogenic erectile dysfunction is much more common and is caused solely by the psychoemotional state of the man. A good rest will help to cope with the problem.
If there are inconveniences associated with impaired potency, and even more so if they are regularly repeated, you should consult a specialist who will help to cope with the problem of impotence. Treatment with folk remedies in combination with medication will help to achieve positive dynamics in treatment.
Nutrition for Erectile Dysfunction
The best treatment is to prevent the onset of the disease, i.e. its prevention. A disease is easier to prevent than to treat. This fully applies to erectile dysfunction. Proper medical nutrition will help with the first signs of sexual dysfunction in men.
It is unacceptable for food to be taken on the run, which is characteristic of very busy people. It should be full and, of course, dinner should not be late, but at least 3-4 hours before bedtime.
Protein-rich foods must be present in the diet: cottage cheese, milk, cheese, eggs, meat (preferably low-fat), fish (preferably marine) and legumes. Slow carbohydrates have a very positive effect on health, in particular for men, too. These are cereals from various cereals, grain bread, potatoes.
Fast carbohydrates should be limited at least for the duration of treatment. These include baking, cakes, sweets, etc. The exception is chocolate, which contains at least 70% cocoa, it increases the level of endorphin (the hormone of happiness), which positively affects mood, and if dysfunction is caused by stress, it can serve as a medicine . Vegetables, fruits and especially fresh herbs are beneficial in the treatment of impotence. Onions, garlic, cilantro, spinach - each product from this list has always been known as a folk remedy for impotence. It is very good to use spices, ginger, bitter and sweet peppers for the male diet.
Vegetarianism with impotence
For a long time, they used the switch to vegetarian food as an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. Folk remedies for the healing of this ailment have been used before, and now. Parsnip root is added as a spice to various dishes, and the seeds of this plant insist and drink in disorders associated with dysfunction.
Vegetarian dishes contain all the necessary vitamins and minerals. The protein found in plant foods has an identical effect on the body, like an animal. A large amount of protein is found in legumes and nuts.
Especially good for men's health is the presence in the diet of nuts (walnuts or peanuts), pumpkin seeds and honey. Connoisseurs of traditional medicine claim that taking carrot juice with honey for a month completely cures erectile dysfunction at the initial stage.
If body weight is much higher than normal, this can adversely affect potency. With proper nutrition, weight can be normalized. For men, BMI (body mass index) is normally between 23 and 25.
Medicinal fees for the treatment of impotence
The problem of sexual weakness is successfully treated. In addition to medical methods, the treatment of erectile dysfunction with folk remedies has long been used. The fees of medicinal plants are effectively used for the treatment and prevention of impotence. Here is some of them:
- Prepare a mixture of dried medicinal herbs from dioica nettle, mint and flax seeds. All ingredients must be taken in equal amounts. Pour two tablespoons of this collection into a thermos and pour two glasses of boiling water. It is better to cook the infusion in the evening, then by morning it will be ready. Drink one glass in the morning and evening, regardless of food intake. The course lasts 21 days. Break - from one week to two months. Sometimes a couple of courses are enough. This fee helps men avoid premature ejaculation.
- The next collection includes only 2 ingredients: immortelle flowers - 2 parts, calendula flowers - 1 part. Pour one tablespoon of this mixture with a glass of boiling water. Insist before cooling, preferably without access to light, for example in a ceramic teapot. Take 1 tbsp. spoon 3-4 times a day, between meals. The course can last up to 30 days, then a break - 30 days. This folk remedy for impotence is quite effective. In some cases, you may need only 2-3 courses.
- Yarrow is quite available, it is sold in every pharmacy. A decoction is prepared from it, which helps to cope with dysfunction. To do this, pour 200 g of dry yarrow herb into a glass of water, boil for no more than 20 minutes on very low heat. Cool and strain. This broth take 1 tablespoon 3-4 times a day.
Herbs from impotence give no less effect than medicines, and provide a lasting result. In addition, from them there is no side effect.
Alcohol tinctures for impotence
Alcohol tinctures for treating sexual weakness in men are also known. They are shown for use only if the man does not intend to drive, otherwise there may be trouble with traffic police representatives.
It should be borne in mind that alcohol tinctures are prepared precisely from vodka or diluted alcohol (up to 40 degrees), since if the degree is higher, healing substances will not pass from raw materials to tincture. They are simply preserved in the feedstock.
Alternative methods of treating impotence with alcohol tinctures suggest making them from plant rhizomes. The method of their preparation is the same. One part of the raw material is poured with 3 parts of vodka and infused for two weeks in a dark place. Shake containers with tincture periodically. Take 25-30 drops after a meal. To prepare tinctures use:
- calamus root ;
- root lovage ;
- ginseng root;
- galangal root.

What is the difference between the use of herbs and drugs for impotence?
The use of plant materials favorably affects the entire body, therefore, not the disease disappears, but its cause. While some drugs for erectile dysfunction act on the body, like a whip on a driven horse.
The only drawback in the treatment of impotence with folk remedies is that recovery occurs gradually. Patience must be stocked up. Sometimes it will take more than one course of taking the drug, but 2-4, and in some cases, treatment can last 6-12 months.
Winter mushroom against impotence
This mushroom got its name for its ability to grow in the cold. In fact, this is a type of mushroom. Its healing properties allow you to deal with the problem of impotence. Treatment with folk remedies is possible not only with herbs, but also includes the use of mushrooms (winter mushroom, shiitake).
Winter mushroom is quite edible, from it you can cook dishes or make healing alcohol tinctures from dry raw materials. The recipe for cooking it is the same as described above.
