Erectile dysfunction, or, as it is popularly called, impotence, is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection until the completion of a full-fledged sexual intercourse. Periodically, this condition can occur in any man, regardless of age. And if you do not treat this problem properly, it can really end in complete impotence (sexual impotence). Statistics show that more than 40% of men after 35 years of age in one way or another experience problems with erection. If this problem lasts more than 3-6 months, doctors may talk about erectile dysfunction.
Impotence - signs. Treatment with folk remedies. Reasons
Signs of erectile dysfunction, depending on the cause that caused it, may differ slightly, but they have the same essence - a weakening of an erection or its complete absence. Let's look at a few reasons why an erection can become unstable:
- Gradually, over the years, the erection becomes weaker and there isless often, and at some point completely disappears - this may indicate that the cause lies in a slowly progressing physical problem, for example, in the development of some kind of chronic disease (diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, atherosclerosis, etc.).
- If a good erection occurs at the right time, but disappears at the very beginning of sexual intercourse, then everything is in order from a physical point of view, and the problem lies in increased anxiety about sexual possibilities. This happens in especially emotional men. In this case, a man is advised not to think about what impression he will make on his partner, but to switch to his feelings (think less with his head), and, most likely, the problem will disappear on its own.
- Another option: an erection perfectly occurs when needed, but may gradually disappear a few minutes after the onset of sexual intercourse - this means that the blood from the cavernous bodies of the penis has returned to the systemic circulation. On the physical side, everything is in order, and the fact that ejaculation did not occur does not mean anything. It’s just that the body doesn’t need it at the moment, or the psycho-emotional state of the man is to blame.
Morning erection
Normally, during REM sleep (the dreaming phase), men get an erection. This can happen 2-4 times a night, of course, it is impossible to feel it in a dream, but if a man wakes up in this particular phase of sleep, he will feel an erection. If a morning erection occurs quite often, this indicates that with a man in physiological termseverything is fine. If there is a problem with potency in this case, you should pay attention to the psycho-emotional state. But if an erection is not observed in the morning for quite a long time, it is necessary to undergo an examination, perhaps there is a disease that needs to be treated. In a neglected case, the problem of impotence may develop. Treatment with folk remedies will help to cope with temporary problems of erectile dysfunction, and is also a method of its prevention.
What factors can lead to impotence?
Erectile dysfunction is not only a problem of a sexual nature, sometimes it is a symptom of some other serious illness, emotional fatigue and constant stress at work or in the family, as well as a side effect of a drug. These could be:
- endocrine diseases (diabetes mellitus, pituitary tumor, hypogonadism - insufficient testosterone production);
- local change in the tissues of the male genitalia (sclerosis);
- side effects of antibiotics;
- genitourinary system infection (urethritis, prostatitis);
- sexually transmitted infections (syphilis, etc.);
- impaired blood supply to the vessels of the erectile mechanism;
- pelvic surgery;
- hypertension;
- atherosclerosis;
- neurological diseases (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, etc.);
- psycho-emotional states (stress, depression, mental disorders).
Types of erectile dysfunction
Depending on the cause of sexual weakness, experts distinguish two types of erectile dysfunction: organic and psychogenic.
Organic dysfunction is associated with the development of a disease (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis, etc.), which caused sexual weakness. In this case, it is not impotence that should be treated, but the disease that caused it.
Psychogenic erectile dysfunction is much more common and is caused solely by the psycho-emotional state of a man. A good rest will help to cope with the problem.
If there are inconveniences associated with impaired potency, and even more so if they are repeated regularly, you should contact a specialist who will help to cope with the problem of impotence. Treatment with folk remedies in combination with medication will help to achieve positive dynamics in treatment.
Nutrition for erectile dysfunction
The best treatment is to prevent the onset of the disease, i.e. its prevention. The disease is easier to prevent than to cure. This fully applies to erectile dysfunction. Proper therapeutic nutrition will help at the first signs of sexual dysfunction in men.
It is unacceptable for food to be taken on the run, which is typical of very busy people. It should be complete and, of course, dinner should not be late, but at least 3-4 hours before bedtime.
The diet mustpresent foods rich in protein: cottage cheese, milk, cheese, eggs, meat (preferably low-fat), fish (preferably sea) and legumes. Slow carbohydrates have a very positive effect on he alth, in particular, on men's too. These are cereals from various cereals, grain bread, potatoes.
Fast carbohydrates are best limited at least for the duration of treatment. These include pastries, cakes, sweets, etc. The exception is chocolate, which contains at least 70% cocoa, it increases the level of endorphin (the hormone of happiness), which has a positive effect on mood, and if dysfunction is caused by stress, it can serve as a medicine. Vegetables, fruits and especially fresh herbs have a beneficial effect in the treatment of impotence. Onions, garlic, cilantro, spinach - each product on this list has always been known as a folk remedy for impotence. It is very good to use spices, ginger, hot and sweet pepper for the male diet.
Vegetarianism for impotence
Switching to a vegetarian diet has long been used as an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. Folk remedies for the treatment of this disease have been used before and now. Parsnip root is added as a spice to various dishes, and the seeds of this plant are infused and drunk for disorders associated with dysfunction.
Vegetarian cuisine contains all the necessary vitamins and minerals. The protein found in plant foods has an identical effect on the body, like an animal. A large amount of protein is found in legumes andnuts.
Especially good for men's he alth is the presence in the diet of nuts (walnuts or peanuts), pumpkin seeds and honey. Connoisseurs of traditional medicine claim that taking carrot juice with the addition of honey for a month completely cures erectile dysfunction at the initial stage.
If the body weight is much higher than the norm, this may have a bad effect on potency. With proper nutrition, weight can be normalized. For men, BMI (body mass index) is normally between 23 and 25.
Drugs for the treatment of impotence
The problem of sexual weakness is successfully treated. In addition to medical methods, the treatment of erectile dysfunction with folk remedies has long been used. Collections of medicinal plants are effectively used for the treatment and prevention of impotence. Here are some of them:
- Prepare a mixture of dry medicinal herbs from stinging nettle, mint and flax seeds. All ingredients must be taken in equal amounts. Pour two tablespoons of this collection into a thermos and pour two glasses of boiling water. It is better to prepare the infusion in the evening, then by morning it will be ready. Drink one glass in the morning and evening, regardless of the meal. The course lasts 21 days. Break - from one week to two months. Sometimes a couple of courses are enough. This collection helps men avoid premature ejaculation.

Herbs for impotence give no less effect than drugs, and provide a lasting result. In addition, they do not have any side effect.
Alcohol tinctures for impotence
Alcohol tinctures are also known for the treatment of sexual weakness in men. They are shown for use only if the man does not intend to drive, otherwise there may be trouble with the representatives of the traffic police.
It should be borne in mind that alcohol tinctures are prepared from vodka or diluted alcohol (up to 40 degrees), since if the degree is higher, healing substances will not pass from raw materials to tincture. They will simply be preserved in the original raw material.
Folk methods for treating impotence with alcohol tinctures suggest making them from plant rhizomes. The method of their preparation is the same. One part of the raw material is poured with 3 parts of vodka andinfused for two weeks in a dark place. The container with tincture should be shaken periodically. Take 25-30 drops after meals.

What is the difference between using herbal medicines and impotence drugs?
The use of plant materials has a beneficial effect on the entire body, so not the disease disappears, but its cause. While some drugs for erectile dysfunction act on the body like a whip on a driven horse.
The only drawback in the treatment of impotence with folk remedies is that recovery comes gradually. You have to stock up on patience. Sometimes it will take more than one course of taking the drug, but 2-4, and in some cases, treatment can last 6-12 months.

Treatment with folk remedies is possible not only with herbs, but also includes the use of mushrooms (winter mushroom, shiitake).
Winter mushroom is quite edible, you can cook dishes from it or make healing alcohol tinctures from dry raw materials. The recipe for its preparation is the same as described above.
