There are some teas made with medicinal plants that help to decrease the symptoms of erectile dysfunction, as they can increase blood circulation to the sexual organ or improve brain function, giving more disposition and libido.
Although these medicinal plants have a faster effect when used in the form of tablets or capsules, as they have a higher concentration, they can also be used in the form of tea, provided they are ingested daily.
Erectile dysfunction generally affects men between 50 and 80 years of age, who are no longer able to achieve an erection sufficiently rigid to allow penetration and satisfactory sexual intercourse. Learn more about this problem at see other ways to treat erectile dysfunction.
1. Korean Ginseng tea and Maca
Korean Ginseng, also known as Panax ginseng is a plant that, in addition to improving the disposition and allowing an easier interpretation of sexual stimuli, also seems to have an effect on the corpora cavernosa of the penis, facilitating blood circulation and enabling a more satisfactory erection.
In addition, when associated with Maca, it is possible to slightly increase testosterone levels, which ends up increasing libido and improving sexual performance.
Ingredients
- 2 grams of dry Korean Ginseng root;
- 1 teaspoon of Peruvian Maca powder.
Preparation mode
Put the dry root of Ginseng to a boil with 500 ml of water for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat, strain and mix with Maca powder. Allow to warm and drink 2 to 3 times a day.
2. Ginkgo biloba tea with Tribulus terrestris
This is an excellent home remedy to help improve sexual function in men who are using antidepressant drugs, as, according to some studies, Ginkgo appears to improve mood, while Tribulus may slightly affect serum testosterone levels, making it easier to erection.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of Ginkgo biloba leaves;
- 1 tablespoon of Tribulus terrestris leaves.
Preparation mode
Place the two plants in 500 ml of boiling water and let stand covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Then strain the mixture and let it warm. Drink this mixture 2 to 3 times a day.
These plants can also be used in the form of food supplements, showing faster results. Some formulas in health food stores already contain a mixture of these plants in their composition.
3. Schisandra chinensis tea
Although it is still little studied, this plant, also known as echysandra, seems to have very positive effects in improving libido, reducing stress and decreasing symptoms of erectile dysfunction. This way, its regular use can help to facilitate the erection, especially in men who are going through a lot of tension.

- 3 tablespoons of dried Schisandra berries.
Preparation mode
Put 3 cups of water to a boil and then add the berries for 15 minutes. After that time strain the mixture and let it warm. Drink 2 to 3 times a day.
