A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction

Around age 48 my husband started experiencing erectile dysfunction. The doctor gave him Viagra, but he really didn't like taking it. It didn't even work every time. He had his testosterone levels checked and started taking testosterone shots. This helped a great deal, but he still experienced problems at times. The doctor put him on blood pressure medication which caused more problems in the sexual department. After doing alot of research on the internet, my husband started taking hawthorn berry. After he had taken it for awhile, he was able to come off of the high blood pressure medicine. He does not experience erectile dysfunction any more. Hawthorn Berry has been a tremendous blessing for us!

Wikipedia lists the following warnings for Arginine, so I will be scared to use it:

Possible increased risk of death after supplementation following heart attack

A clinical trial found that patients taking an L-arginine supplement following a heart attack found no change in the heart's vascular tone or decrease in the symptoms ofcongestive heart failure (the heart's ability to pump). In fact, six more patients who were taking L-arginine died than those taking a placebo resulting in early termination of the study with the recommendation that the supplement not be used by heart attack patients. [16][17][18] These findings suggest L-arginine is not beneficial post-heart-attack.

The Mayo Clinic web page on L-arginine reports that inhalation of L-arginine can increase lung inflammation and worsen asthma. [19]

Hi azhar , did you try watercure suggestion? Please provide your update.

Hi everybody, this is the only website which gave me hope of overcoming ED. I am 34 and suffering with ED for last ten years. Before that also I was having Premature Ejaculation issues. But ED has been severely hamparing my life recently. I have curvature in pen... My right testicle is enlarged ( little ) due to injuries but Pain occurs in testicle on when I experience lower back pain. Currently my situation is no erection, low sperm ejection during ejaculations, the penis length is short. Can anybody guide me to overcome this. I feel to end my life due to this issues.

1 tsp of Cayenne Pepper powder and 1tsp of Garlic powder has worked for me to keep an erection and last long. Put them in a cup and add warm water and drink 2 times a day. You may need to wait 3 days to see results.

Don't waste money on Viagra or drugs.

Good luck

Try Maca Root.... It works wonders in both men and women. It regulates your hormones. Cut all SOY and aspartame out of your diet.

Azhar,

I would try Cayenne Pepper for ED - 1 Spoonfull in a glass of HOT WATER - a Cayenne TEA - Have it in the evening and it works wonders for ED - It is a circulation problem and Cayenne Pepper is the best herb for it.

I would also start drinking at least 8 Glasses of Water DAILY with a 1/4 spoon of Sea Salt per glass. Experiment with the Sea Salt- Start with a little and increase.

Look at www.Watercure2.org for Sea Salt Cures for more details

Hope this helps

Hi guys... have spent the past hour reading up on the ED problem. Am glad I am not the only one facing this issue. I am a 33year old guy - been married for 3 years now and have been constantly plagued with the issue of ED.

I have only been able to ejaculate 3 to 4 times in all this time primarily due to the fact I end up losing my erection. I have been to a urologist and ended up getting a vericosele surgery done, taken various vitamins and tried some homeopathic stuff. Nothing seemed to help. I was hoping I could find a permanent solution for this.

A point to note is I can ejaculate properly during masturbation. I really need a cure as it is bothering me and my wife as we would want to consider starting a family soon.

I read a few articles on yohimbine, etc. Could you guys advise how I can get rid of E.D.

Re: erectile dysfunction. My problem is that I lack sensitivity in the penis. I can have sex for 30 minutes without orgasm. Can anyone suggest anything that might improve my sensitivity?

I've just started cayenne treatment today for ED, I've ground down some of my own cayenne grown here in Greece, these some I mixed with tomato puree and olive oil, I found this very easy to take, if you want cayenne and garlic the choice is yours you can either mix in some garlic powder or mix in some fresh minced garlic, this will keep in the fridge for weeks, I know this because I keep a mix of chilli, garlic, tom puree and olive oil to have on toast with chesse, then melted a great way to start the day.

I'm taking this in a hope it will help with the DHEA I've been taken for ED, DHEA has really helped but I still need a boost for erections and some good ones will help.

The Borax you have has to be used with caution.. And its for Arthritis. If you lick your finger up to the first joint and put it into the powder, what adheres is dissolved and drunk in an 8 oz. Glass of water... this gives about 9mg of boron which is a theraputic amount for arthritis per day.

The E.D. Is well covered in the E.D. Section. The cayenne and garlic works well.

Hi all I went to the Chemist and purchased some Borax and had the intention to start to trial it for my condition of erectile disfunction. When I read the recomended use I realized that the main use for this product is for cleaning blocked drains as such. My question is, is this borax the correct product to ingest as suggested?

Cut out all pornography, masterbation, orgasms (including sex or foreplay with a woman) and fantasy about having sex for 2 to 3 months. You'll notice in a week.

My husband has had great success with taking the following after dinner every night: 3000 mg. Arginine, 2 hawthorne berry capsules, and a dropper of cayenne tincture mixed in water. He and I have both been very pleased with how this has helped him. He says he feels like he is in his 20's!

The above remedies sound great for the physical aspects and I will start experimenting. There is a good overall circulation support product called OPC-3, with pycnogenol plus other beneficial bioflavonoid anti-oxidants at: www.maisotonic.com. Has been great for heart, liver, ED, all the blood issues.

It might be wise to watch the nutmeg it has been said that too much is toxic to the liver. It was quite common in days gone by to take it for its euphoric qualities, especialy by minstrals in the middle ages.

I have to say that a combination of garlic ginger and cayenne.. And maybe b6 with zinc with magnesium caps. Cures! The problem. Im 64 and thought that it might just be the ways things go as you age. Two years ago I could hardly get an erection now they are harder than I need lol.... Ive also started mild jelking you'll have to google that one.

The prostate and sperm need lots of zinc.. Thats why I take the supplement... I think that the oils in ginger make you want to have sex (gingerols).. But at least you dont need to worry if you have a dysfuntion.. it took about two weeks to come in strongly so be patient.

Go to your local doctor (endocrinologist)who treats hormone therapy. Get a prescription for testosterone cyprionate and inject once a week or as prescribed, You will be running around like an oversexed barnyard rooster in less than a month. TRUST ME I KNOW!!! As a 72 year old I have had to reduce the recommended dosage to 1/4 of the doctor recommended due to the overcharged libido which really becomes a pain in the a*se. Who needs the aggravation of being that obsessed at 72.

Hi Ted, I have been taking cayenne pepper with garlic, borax (1/4) teaspoon in a litre of water and havent really found a significant increase in libido or erection strength.

I tried arginine and pycnogenol and that seems to have a great effect on erections. I'm just curious to know why borax doesnt work for this purpose. Should I take glysine with it?

HAWTHORN and CAYENNE are antiparasitical so they were killing off the BAD bacteria in your stomach. It is die off and you probably should have decreased the dose and continued the treatment!

Thank you! As I said we are willing to try anything!!!!

I would recommend trying Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Pycnogenol, before resorting to Borax. These will increase blood flow. You can take the Carnitine with Alpha Lipoic Acid for further health benefits. Some take a successful combo of Pycnogenol and L-argnine for erectile dysfunction. see here: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FDN/is_4_8/ai_111304013/

Also, look into some adaptogens like Ashwaganda, or Ginseng, or Rhodiola. To increase testosterone, look into Freeze Dried Stinging Nettle Root, and Tribulus Terrestris... and things will be looking up..:)

Sodium borate from your chemist (pure in powder form). Mix1/4 teaspoon with 1 litre of unchlorinated , sans calcium carbonate water and drink through the day.

Is the Borax people are talking about for remedies for impotence the same as the laundry detergent borax? I assume you are not to take that orally so how would my husband do the whole taking borax thing? We are ready to try anything!!!!

Few years ago my husband started suffering from ED. He is 47 years old. Two months ago he started taking garlic (3 to 4 gloves) crushed with cilantro he add some olive oil and salt for taste. He is taking the garlic to lower his cholesterol but he has this good side effect he no longer suffer from ED!

Cayenne pepper - Erectile dysfunction

I have used different herbs that supposedly help with libido and erectile dysfunction or impotence. I have stopped taken these. Well in my case it was a circulation problem. Restore your erectile dysfunction "ED" by taking cayenne pepper. I'm a tall person so I took 4X470mg in capsule format and it restore magically in a few hours some circulation problems. Here are few pointers that cayenne peppers those in general

-Increase circulation throughout the body (including genital area)
-Strengthen the heart
-Regulates the heart beat
-Cleanse the blood vessels of plaque
-Help normalize blood pressure

I will be sticking with cayenne pepper for a little while and see the more benefit of it. Your system hasn't clogged in a day..it took like 10-20-30 years.. so maybe it will take a little time but most likely very little to restore the circulation and erectile problems with hormone message passing through the blood.

I tried the Garlic / cayenne / hawthorne berry and grapeseed extract, all in supplement form, to help my impotence problem. I thought I was going to die. Approximately 30 minutes after I took the cocktail, I started cramping and broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, it passed after a short while. But there was no positive outcome for me.

I just take a teaspoon of each (cayenne and garlic) and quickly consume with water. Or you can take in a capsule form.

I can vouch for arginine (heart tonic) for ED, as I suffered for years and had virtually given up till I was told about this.

Hi Diane...I had tinea cruris (jock itch -- a very similar problem as your husbands'problem) for seven years before I managed to get rid of it. Although I fully support the borax cure by Ted(I also use borax now for my skin and internally), what cured my jock itch over two years ago was simple Milk of Magnesia(Magnesium Hydroxide in aqueous solution) that everyone uses as a laxative. I used MoM together with athletes foot powder which is basically salicylic acid or salicylate, the same as aspirin. I also alkalyzed heavily -- as per Ted's advice -- using his lemon/lime or ACV sodium bicarbonate remedy as the main cure for my candida problems (athletes foot, eczma, constipation, poor energy etc).

If your husband's impotence is due to candida or fungus, it would really make sense to get rid of the internal fungus first (ie the cause). Here is the regimen I used for alkalyzing:

Alkalyze 2 X per day with one lemon/lime(or 2 X tablespoons ACV) mixed together with a 1/4 to 1/2 tspn Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) mixed in half a glass of water.

I got rid of my persistent jock itch very quickly. During the day I would use the athletes foot powder in my genital area. At night, after my shower I would apply the MoM to the effected parts of my legs and genitals and let it dry(this is very soothing, by the way). I would leave this on all night. A caveat here -- although leaving the MoM all night didn't hurt me, I would leave it on only for about 20 mins (it dries to a dust) then wash it off -- because different people have different sensitivities. I had been using the athletes foot powder already for about a week when I started using the MoM. My jock itch disappeared completely in 2 days after applying the MoM !!

In my research on tinea cruris(jock itch), I found out that this was caused by the same fungus as tinea pedis(athletes foot) which is why I used the athletes foot powder as well.

I cured my jock itch very quickly, but it took about a year of faithful alkalyzing to rid myself of the candida. Also my eczma, psoriasis, constipation etc. -- which I regard as simple external manifestations of my candida -- also completely disappeared. But, I must add that it took about a year of alkalyzing to remove my candida with all problems.

Here is a link to the MoM cures, read Ted's feedback:

https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/milk-of-magnesia.html

I still take Ted's alkalyzing remedies a few times a week even now. I will always use this simple but effective alkalyzing protocol now.

With much grateful thanks to both Ted and Earth Clinic.

Dear Diane:

I have added one more to help some erectile dysfunction. Borax for some reason is synergistic with another supplement I found by observation, which is glycine. The amino acid tastes sweet, but is ideally taken in the evening. Both the borax and the glycine has similar effects on both men and woman, in terms of sexual dysfunction. Itching testicals is a common problem, and most of that, the most irritating one is actually the fungus or candida issues. Therefore it's best to avoid sugary food, fats and artificial sweeteners. Those top three things worsen the condition. You can also prepare a borax wash in that particular area, if borax runs short. It works too.

The dose for glycine is about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon a day. So its roughly 1000 to 2000 mg of glycine. Gycine is a simple amino acid that seems to help sleep, but also have some positive effects on erectile dysfunction.

I am giving feedback on the Borax. It works pretty much instantly and impotance did not come back until my husband quit using it. He quits and start on and off because it makes him feel hungry constantly, I have taken it and had the same effect. (I think it may be starving/killing fungus and candida which is telling his body "eat more", just a thought) I feel his impotence is from fungus overgrowth because he has had an itch on his testicles for over five years and things have helped it but it has never gone away completely. We now are going to start bathing in 1c borax every night for a week and then once a week after that. Last night before our 2nd bath I asked him how his itch was and he realized that he had not thought of it all day and when he felt the testie skin the itchy feeling was there but he was amazed at how much less it itched. We decided to bath in it because I read how your can reap the benifits through your pores. I am bathing with him just so he'll remember to do it and yes he still thinks I'm a babe.

Hello Chuck,

First time I am hearing about DHEA level. What should be the minimum level? As an alternative medical researcher, did you come across any alternate medicine for PE (there are some here in this website)?

I tried the garlic and cayenne today and was only able to tolerate two sips and i was about to vomit. I don't see how some one can digest such a bad tasting drinks. Is it o.k to mix the cayenne with juice and omit the garlic as it is intolerable.

I can confirm this recipe gives good wood. What i do is one normal cup of hot water, add 1 teaspoon of regular cayenne powder from the store (not so hot for me as i eat lot of spice) and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Then i add in 5-6 large slices of ginger and steep.

The cayenne and garlic sucks to drink but i like ginger fresh, so that gives it a somewhat pleasant taste.

It really turns up the erection power, but also lasting time!

I found out ginger in it's raw form is a real mucus destroyer. I have been a long time hay fever guy with mucus every day after smoking for 6 years. I take only ginger tea without anything else and man my mucus is cleared up.

I am currently researching into cloves and nutmeg. These both are said to help in premature ejaculation. I don't know if adding in cloves in tea will be beneficial, or if i need a powdered form? Nutmeg is also used in Ayurveda to treat premature ejaculation, but have to watch dosage as it can be a hallucinogen at one tablespoon. I am thinking 1/4 teaspoon, what do you guys think?

Can we experiment?

I am also in the process of trying turmeric/curcumin, the store powder. As it turns out this is real good for the liver, but is also a great natural anti histamine.

I want to try a higher heat unit cayenne pepper like 200.000 heat units, you guys tried this?

Maybe a super cocktail:

1 teaspoon extra hot cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 5-6 large slices of ginger, 2-3 cloves, 2-3 cardamon, 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

steep in one cup of hot water

perhaps this is the cure all for impotence and premature ejaculation, i know a part of it works for me, please help me test drive so we can share results!
