Are you searching for a natural Viagra?  

The Chinese herb known as Epimedium has been used to boost libido and increase sexual desire and performance for generations.  

Now that the “Pink Pill” was just approved women have their own viagra with a long list of side-effects. Using an natural alternative likeLibido Boost Herb Pack for Him and Her is both effective,  safe and without side-effects.  For many this is a dream come true.

Researchers at the University of Milan, Italy say Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) has what everyone who experiences erectile dysfunction needs.  Additionally the Chinese herb, Epimedium (AKA horny goat weed) has fewer side effects than Viagra and certainly the new Pink Pill viagra for women.

This natural aphrodisiac has been used in Chinese herbal medicine for centuries and is well known for increasing blood flow and freeing up bound testosterone.  This promote natural erections and sex drive.  It has been confirmed by these Italian researchers that icariin, a compound found in horny goat weed has the same effect as sildenafil, the active component in Viagra.  This icariin blocks the enzyme which controls blood flow to the penis.  Once an erection is achieved the icariin helps maintain that erection by inhibiting PDE5, (phosphodiesterase-5).

 

Horny goat weed is the only Chinese herb which has demonstrated the PDE5 inhibitor effect.

If a drug was made from Horny Goat Weed it would be even more effective than Viagra.

 

However, since Horny Goat Weed is a natural plant it is not patentable. Like so many other Chinese herbs we know about there are less side effects than most prescription drugs. 

Horny goat weed is found in the wild in China, Asia and Europe and the highest quality we could find is available here.  As with all our herbal products our Chinese herb granules and thoroughly tested and standardized to 5:1 ration minimums.  This means a higher potency than most products which fail to disclose any information regarding their potency ratio’s.

Ginseng Now Included in Food Products

Posted by Cathy on

The China Ministry of Health just recently decided to change its policy regarding ginseng.  Well known for hundreds of health benefits, ginseng will now be allowed to be included in food products in Asia.   America has no such restrictions for ginseng and this longevity herb is often found in energy drinks today.

 

Since 2002, the Chinese MInistry of Health has regulated Chinese herbs and placed them into three categories. One  category for Chinese herbs used as food, another categorized herbs as health food and a third that included herbs only as medicine.

 

Before this announcement, ginseng was permitted to be used only in registered health products and medicine categories. The new policy allows ginseng to be used in all three categories.  This will most certainly increase demand and international competitiveness of ginseng.  Prices of this ancient herb have been steadily rising the past few years as more Americans and other Western countries learn about the health benefits of ginseng.

 

Ginseng is commonly called the “king of all herbs.” Ginseng is considered to be nutritious and to have great medical value in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been used as a tonic in TCM for over 3,000 years. Ginseng is grown in other East Asia countries as well as in the U.S. and Canada known as American ginseng, but the world’s largest production site is located on Changbai Moutain in Jilin Province, which accounts for 85 percent of China’s total production and 70 percent of the world’s output.

 

I recently toured a famous American Ginseng farm in Wisconsin.  I was a bit surprised to learn that once American ginseng is grown on the land that it cannot ever be replanted there again.  Other crops can be planted after the 6 years old ginseng is harvested.  However, because ginseng depletes the soil of so many mineral and other nutrients it is impossible to harvest ginseng on the same land twice.   Some farmers have waited 70 years and tried to grow another crop of American ginseng only to find after 3 years the crop stopped growing and was never old enough to harvest.   This is just one of the reasons the cost of  100 grams of conenctrated ginseng granules is increasing world wide.  Ginseng is the largest dollar crop exported out of the state of Wisconsin.   Who knew?
