Traditional herbs have been a revolutionary breakthrough
in the management of erectile dysfunction and have become known world-wide
as an 'instant' treatment. The modern view of the management of erectile
dysfunction subscribes to a single etiology, i.e. the mechanism of erection.
A large number of pharmacological agents are orally consumed and vasoactive
agents inserted intraurethrally or injected intrapenially to regain good
erection. Modern phytochemicals have developed from traditional herbs.
Phytochemicals focus their mechanism of healing
action to the root cause, i.e. the inability to control the proper function
of the whole body system. Hence phytochemicals manage erectile dysfunction
in the frame of sexual dysfunction as a whole entity. Protodioscin is a
phytochemical agent derived from Tribulus terrestris L plant, which has been
clinically proven to improve sexual desire and enhance erection via the
conversion of protodioscine to DHEA (De-Hydro-Epi-Androsterone).
Preliminary observations suggest that Tribulus terrestris L grown on
different soils does not consistently produce the active component
Protodioscin. Further photochemical studies of many other herbal plants are
needed to explain the inconsistent results found with other herbal plants,
such as in diversities of Ginseng, Eurycoma longifolia, Pimpinella pruacen,
Muara puama, Ginko.
