Men and Herbs

December 21st, 2007

Do you feel that those herbal medicines and concoctions are reserved just for women? You may be completely wrong!. At times we think that utilizing herbs and herbal concoctions are only for women. Well, if you continue to think that way, you will be missing out on the restorative and therapeutic effects of herbs. We often create a wrong idea that lays too much emphasis on herbs’ special use in women. In the process, we fail to notice the irrefutable reality that men too have unique needs for herbs and their medicines. Herbs have an equally important role in both men and women’s health. Imbalances in the hormonal levels usually are to blame for several of the physical and mental problems that are especially unique in males. It is fortunate that there are several available herbal medicines that can help a lot in easing these physical and mental health problems.

As you age and become physically debilitated, hormonal levels drop and get confused in your own body. Natural herbs can be valuable in helping us fight these problems and add much-needed strength, stamina, vitality and oomph back into our bodies and our lives. Along with adjustments in diet and exercise, various herbs can help you to balance the confused hormonal activity and restore perfect harmony to the whole body.

Some of the health problems experienced by males are unique to them, such as many sexual deficiencies like impotence, reduced sex drive, premature ejaculation and prostrate related health issues. Impotence is probably one of the most critical health concerns for men aged 40 years and above. Estimates range from 50 to 100 million males suffering from mild to severe impotence symptoms. Aside from this, many other health problems connected to heart, kidney, muscles and skins, are very common to both men and women.

Herbal infusions have been used since time immemorial. Herbal tonics and infusions that are used for treating impotence include Wild Oats and Chinese Horny Goat. Indians are known to use liberal quantities of Saffron, Ashwamedha and Ginger to cure impotence and to increase sex drive. How about those pesky prostrate problems? For low intensity prostrate tumors, herbs like Ginseng and Chaparral can be effective for treatment, while Echinacea, Yarrow, Dandelion and Marshmallow can be used for painful prostrate enlargements. Herbs like catmint, skullcap and mint are known to bring down the blood pressure levels to normal levels, while the pain from arthritis and rheumatism can be alleviated by Marjoram and Meadow Sweet herbs.

This is certainly not an extensive list of the various health problems that can be treated by using natural herbs and concoctions, but is enough to give you an idea of what these herbs can do for you. So stop thinking that herbs are only good for women, and start enjoying the innumerable benefits that natural herbs and medicines can give you.
