What Is Horny Goat Weed
What Is Horny Goat Weed?
In this article, I discuss and explain in detail and simple language without getting too technical the question what is Horny Goat Weed?. I also explain how it works in relation to how it can help men whose “pocket rocket” may not quite be firmly pointing to the moon.
Where Did The Strange Name Come From?
The rather peculiar name has a very interesting story and background to it that makes the nickname by which this herb is better known a rather logical and obvious choice.
Besides, horny goat weed is far easier to remember than epimedium!
As the story and legend goes an attentive and observant goat farmer noticed his herd of goats, particularly the males would nibble on and eat the heart-shaped leaves of a certain plant and then later be rather frisky towards the females of the species!
As they expression goes curiosity killed the cat, well in this instance curiosity it got the better of a sexually frustrated farmer! He went out and then tried the leaves of the epimedium plant himself…and later, well, let his wife know that she “still got it” … if you catch my drift!
And the rest, as they say, is history!
So, What is Horny Goat Weed?
Well, as you can guess from the story above it is a herb botanically named Epimedium and has an interesting use for restoring sexual function in men.
How it achieves this is by bonding and attaching itself to an enzyme known to break down nitric oxide, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5 for short), thanks to the naturally occurring active component Icariin.
That sounds simple enough, as nitric oxide is absolutely required for blood to flow (yes, even down there!) and preventing its’ breakdown helps to maintain levels of nitric oxide. rather interestingly this is precisely how Viagra and Cialis work by means of PDE 5 inhibition!
However, Viagra and other such drugs prescribed for erectile dysfunction do not increase nitric oxide levels, which is something that Icariin boasts as it up-regulates the genes associated with the production of the gaseous substance nitric oxide.
This, the up-regulation of genes, does not occur with short-term use of Horny Goat Weed, this takes time. Patience is a virtue as they say and long-term use of this herb pays off in two ways.
Firstly in the aforementioned benefits of improving your genes ability to produce nitric oxide via means of up-regulation and secondly, by helping to clear blocked and clogged arteries. Both of which help with erectile rigidity and firmness!
Which means horny goat weed is not only good for your sexual health and restoring your sexual function but is very good for your heart and circulation also.
Long term use may be beneficial to cancer prevention with the herb officially listed in China as being a destroyer of cancer!.
Horny goat weed also mimics testosterone in the gonads meaning a user can experience the benefits of elevated testosterone like increased sex drive, less stress, more energy and vitality, greater physical strength without actually elevating testosterone levels!
There is no increase either in the other hormones associated with augmented testosterone, namely the follicle stimulating hormone and the luteinizing hormone. This is because the herb does not stimulate the anterior pituitary gland or the gonadotropic cells located there or indeed the hypothalamus or adrenal gland.
It pure and simply just mimics testosterone in the gonads!
Suffice to say that this botanical wonder is effective for helping men suffering from erectile dysfunction caused by poor circulation, clogged arteries, low testosterone, low sex drive and high blood pressure.
Does Horny Goat Weed Work For Women?
Yes, absolutely yes! Women will experience all the cardio benefits of clearing blocked arteries and improved (mimicked) testosterone levels and enhanced circulation.
Sexually, yes women can experience enhanced sex drive and sensation of augmented sexual desire and stimulation to her “hoo-ha” and increased pleasure due to the improved circulation to the “girlie parts”. Women can also experience better more intense orgasms when taking horny goat weed.
Also, and very much worthy of note, women can take it to alleviate the symptoms of the menstruation and menopause.
