Epimedium, or horny goat weed is safe in most circumstances. It is a Yang Tonic, so if your body is out of balance and you have "heat rising" type disorders like headaches, it may aggravate those conditions.
Epimedium spp.-yin yang huo-Horny Goat Weed
Epimedium is a powerful sexual tonic and Asian people consider it an aphrodisiac. It increases sperm production in men. It also strengthens bones and joints and reduces numbness in the extremities. Recent research indicates that Epimedium is a strong immune system regulator. It lowers high blood pressure, without reducing it below normal and calms the heart. It reduces headaches and migraines associated with menstrual cycles.
I have taken Horny goat weed. It's a good herb. But it depends what your after. You can have erection problems for many reasons - stress, bad diet, too much alcohol or drugs.
Regarding Horny Goat Weed(HGW) - it is a safe herb. And it operates in a different way to Viagra. Viagra just gives you an erection, makes you hard - that's all. It doesn't increase "sensitivity". If you've had a lot of sex, then the nerve ends on the penis naturally get damaged - the penis gets insensitve hence difficulty in arousal. HGW operates to rapidly repair these nerve ends to recover that sensitivity and is very good for that. It also repairs and improves the brain-penis connection which helps in mental arousal.
If you have anxiety problems or heart problems - stay away from Viagra. It might give good sex but you will probably have great difficulty sleeping.
Other sexual herbs are :
Tribulus Terrestris: Used for body-building but similar action to HGW and safe.
Yohimbe bark is also widely used - same as viagra. Same problems as Viagra though.
Tongkat Ali or Longjack: About the best natural sex stimulant there is. But expensive.
Deer Antler: Taken regularly it strengthens and energizes the sexual organs and increases sperm production.
Hope it helps,
