Exploring Scientifically Proven Herbal Aphrodisiacs - National Library of Medicine

I've seen many doctors preaching against herbal medicine. I remember a doctor friend who made me to hate anything herbal medicine by telling me it has no dosage and therefore dangerous.

So, I'm surprised to see this document by the US National Library of Medicine.

Title: Exploring Scientifically Proven Herbal Aphrodisiacs

Why I like this is that it will help to reduce quacks in the sector of herbal sexual enhancement. What do you think about it?

According to this document, herbal medicines have less side effects, which is the direct opposite of what my doctor friend said.

A lot of natural substances have historically been known as aphrodisiacs in Africa and Europe, like yohimbine and the mandrake plant, as well as ground rhinoceros horn in the Chinese culture and “Spanish fly” which is actually toxic

The bolded should remind us how toxic substances can be sold as aphrodisiacs. So, it's good that science has waded into this important area of medicine.

This is serious! 52% of men between 40 and 70 have some degree of erectile dysfunction.
