Impotence is the inability to get or sustain an erection strong and long enough to achieve satisfactory penetration and orgasm. It is technically known as erectile dysfunction. There are two kinds of impotence causes: psychogenic, that is mental, and organic, that is physical. The chief causes behind psychogenic impotence are depression, anxiety, marital problems, memories of past experiences, trauma or abuse, or emotional crisis. Among the physical factors that most commonly cause impotence are diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension and Alzheimer’s disease, alcoholism, smoking and medication involving the use of psychosomatic drugs. General physical exhaustion and debility, and decline in the level of testosterone that occurs naturally with advancing age can also cause impotence.
There are several chemical means of impotence treatment in the market. However, it is advisable to adopt natural cures for impotence to effectively cure the problem. The general health of the body is a determining factor in a person’s sexual performance, so one must regularly exercise to keep his body fit and in shape. Kidney problems often cause impotence, so one must drink plenty of water every day to avoid such complications. Keeping the mind happy and calm is also crucial to sexual performance; hence avoiding stress and anxiety can be one of the most effective impotence cures. Avoid eating too much processed food, as this causes digestive problems leading to sexual non-performance. Drink caffeinated beverages in moderate quantities only. Including lots of fruits, raw leafy vegetables, rye, corn, oatmeal and cracked wheat is a useful impotence remedy. Other impotence remedies concerning diet include generous consumption of garlic in food, either as condiment or eaten raw every day, or eating black plums regularly. Both of these are effective rich sources of nutrients that enhance sexual prowess. Eating a half-boiled egg along with half a spoon of ginger juice and a spoon of honey every night remedies premature ejaculation. Alternatively, a half-boiled egg eaten with 100gms of finely chopped carrot soaked in honey every night for a month is also a cure for impotence. Consuming about 100gms of dried dates every day is also known to be an effective impotence remedy. A tonic made by boiling drumstick flowers in 250ml of fresh milk may also be consumed every day to increase sexual urge and vigor. 10gms of the root powder of okra and a little powdered candy sugar boiled with a glass of milk can also cure impotence.
