1. Panax ginseng
Ginseng has been used in Eastern healthcare systems for centuries. It helps in building overall stamina, concentration, and stress reduction. It also helps release nitric oxide into the bloodstream. Ginseng has been specifically used to treat erectile dysfunction. It helps in creating and sustaining a penile erection and improves interest in sexual activity. The herb is available in many forms like powder, capsules, and creams. It should be used only for a short duration of six to eight weeks. Do not have it regularly. One must avoid consuming alcohol and caffeine if they have ginseng.

2. African yohimbine
Yohimbine, which has been tested in western countries, can activate the penile nerves to release more nitric oxide. It widens the nerves, improves blood circulation to the penis, and stimulates and sustains an erection for a longer time.

It could react if taken with other medications like Viagra or with any other prescribed medication for hypertension. One should not take this medicine without proper supervision or prescription.

3. Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba, another herb used in traditional Chinese medicine, increases blood circulation and blood flow to the penis. It significantly helps those who are taking medication for depression and experiencing ED.

4. African mondia white

5. Rhodiola rosea
This herb reduces fatigue and increases stamina and energy, directly impacting sexual functions.

6. Wild yam
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that control testosterone production. Supplements made from wild yam have shown improvement in testosterone production in those who have a deficiency and maintain an erection.
