HERBAL VIAGRA : WILD OATS
Oat (“wild
oats” tempts me here) is a popular ingredient in viagra alternatives. The herb
has stimulating properties, and is added, as the “Great Sex” advertising puts
it, “for the promotion of energy.” According to herbalist John Lust, the tea
added to bathwater is useful for a variety of problems mainly in the vicinity
of the navel, including liver problems, lower back problems, kidney and bladder
problems, intestinal colic, and bedwetting. Oat is the main ingredient of
product advertised in a major Toronto daily. Boldly called “The Viagra
Alternative,” it is claimed to have “no side effects” and to be “safe for
people with high blood pressure & heart problems.” Added are two tonic
herbs, saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica). Like
oat, nettle is used for a variety of urinary tract problems, including
inflammation, gravel, and gout. Saw palmetto, one of the top ten selling herbs
today, is the well known herb used for prostate gland enlargement and
inflammation. Together, it seems plausible that these herbs may have some
beneficial supportive effect on erectile dysfunction.
