HORNY GOAT WEED
As reported from the magazine New Scientist: "Viagra's active compound, sildenafil, works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). Because PDE5 helps control blood flow to the penis, inhibiting PDE5 promotes male erection.
There are several research studies in animals that suggest epimedium might thin the blood like Aspirin and increase blood flow to the heart. As well, epimedium What is horny goat weed? It is a leaf from the Japanese epimedium (Epimedium grandiflora). Other species of Epimedium are also used.

In animals, epimedium seems to increase semen secretion, lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the tissue responsible for allowing erection of the penis to occur (behaving much like what Viagra does).
�Dell'Agli and his colleagues tested the four plants in vitro to see how efficient they were at inhibiting PDE5. Just one - Epimedium brevicornum, also known as Epimedium Grandiflorum and Bishop's Hat - had an effect. This confirmed previous studies showing that icariin, a compound found inside the Epimedium Grandiflorum, is a PDE5 inhibitor."
