Male impotence, often known as erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the
inability of a man to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for mutually
satisfactory intercourse with his partner. ED is one of the most significant stress
and lifestyle-related diseases. The main causes of this condition include
overexertion, physiological abnormalities, decreased hormone levels, and
damaged relationships with partners. Ayurveda provides natural medications with
efficacy that have been established for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in
addition to prescription therapy and food control plans. The chapter on
"Rasayana" and "Vajikaran" in ancient medical literature, particularly Ayurveda,
mentions various natural medications that can be used singly or in combination to
treat these types of illnesses. One of them that have been traditionally utilized to
increase sexual strength is garlic. In addition to meditation and self-belief,
psychotherapy may also show to be a very effective treatment for this illness.
Garlic is a drug of preference in comparison to Viagra and is also socially
acceptable. It's possible that a preparation of odorless garlic has the ability to
treat erectile dysfunction. This review will discuss the current research done on
the natural herbal aphrodisiacs and evaluate the weight of evidence to support the
use of any of these substances to enhance sexual desire and function. The present
review, describes the detail information about the major constituents and their
medicinal importance found in naturally occurring plants, which are helpful to
further development of pharmaceutical formulations.
