Horny goat weed, also called Epimedium or Yin Yang Huo, is a small, ground-bearing shrub with wide, heart-shaped leaves that resemble ivy. According to legend, a Chinese goat herder noticed an increase in his herd’s sexual activity after they fed on the plant. It came to be known as “horny goat weed” and began being used as a libido stimulator for both men and women. Horny goat weed contains flavonoids that may have estrogen-inhibiting properties. Its main constituent, icariin, is believed to assist with healthy erectile function in men. It may help expand capillaries and larger blood vessels to promote better flow of hormone-rich blood to sensitive tissues. |
