Erectile dysfunction is often a complex condition that involves both physical and psychological components. Many world herbal medical traditions, including Chinese, African and South American, have prescribed herbs to men with erectile dysfunction. In modern herbal preparations, these herbs are often combined. In combination, one herb may work in an area where another herb has a weakness. In some cases, herbal treatment for erectile dysfunction will work and further treatment may not be necessary.
Herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction typically do not cause side effects. However, some may bring about nausea or headaches in some people.
