| Erectile dysfunction can be a mystery, with no clear-cut cause. It can have vascular, neural, hormonal, and psychological components, depending on the man. Pharmacies sell a little blue pill that can help with performance, but sometimes you don't want to rely on a drug - you want to find a natural "cure," something that doesn't shout "erectile dysfunction" when found in the medicine cabinet.
Type "natural ED cures" into your favourite search engine and you'll pull up a bevy of herbs and natural remedies that supposedly help. But are they safe, and do they actually work?
"While the use of natural agents for erectile dysfunction goes back to ancient times, current scientific evidence is lacking for all of these treatments," Dr Jason J. Jameson, a urologist with the Mayo Clinic Men's Health Program in Arizona, tells Yahoo Health. "In fact, the American Urological Association Clinical Guidelines Panel recommends against herbal therapies for the treatment of erectile dysfunction."
To make matters worse, some of these herbal remedies can actually do more harm than good, especially when combined with other medications. And some pills that claim to be all-natural can actually be laced with ingredients found in Viagra or are nothing more than a placebo, Jameson says. (Though there's something to be said for the placebo effect, which works 25 per cent of the time for men looking for a cure for ED, he adds.)
We rounded up some of the more popular "natural" remedies for ED, and asked the experts to break down their legitimacy with regard to treating the sexual condition. Here's what they have to say.
