Re: Horny Goats Weed

[Guest guest]

Dear Zoe, athan, and Stuart,

Many thanks for your replies. As you seem to have lots of info on this herb

Stuart would you mind telling me if there are any known side effects as the

lady in question wanted to know and also do you have any reffs to go along

with the info so I could look them up please?

Thanks again,

Hannah Barton MNIMH, Mid Devon

Hi Hannah, I use this herb from time to time. Its Epimedium grandiflorum (think

the second part of the name is correct - I'm not in the dispensary at the

moment). As it's common name suggests, it can help with male libido. I've got

some info about it somewhere but will have to look it out for you.

Lots of love

Horny Goats Weed

Does anyone know what this herb is? I have seen it on sale in health food

shops and today had an inquiry about it from a prospective patient. I cannot

find it under this name and have no latin available for it - it wasn't

listed on the ladies bottle - a bad sign for sure!

I am sure to get other inquiries about it so all info happily received.

No side-effects at all. Safe with drugs too.

Not sure if Stuart mentioned the anti-osteoporosis, or

neuroregenerative aspects. Its an amazing herb, it is used a lot in our

clinic.
