Researchers in Gujarat, India have identified chemicals in two plants growing abundantly in the region that may help erectile dysfunction.

Ekharo and vardharo, which grow on the riverbanks and nor bodies of water have been used as tribal medicines for years.

Have we found Ayurvedic Viagra?

Within the brand of Ayurveda medicine called “Vajikarana chikitsa,” these two plants deal with a multitude of sexual the dysfunction, the including erectile dysfunction. Although there’s no scientific evidence on the benefits of these plants in fighting erectile dysfunction, a pre-clinical trial found that the chemicals in the plants helped improve sexual activity in rats.

In the meantime, Ramanbhai Patel College of Pharmacy at Charotar University of Technology Assistant Professor Dr. Niraj Vyas has applied for a patent on the plants’ chemicals. He hopes that the human trials on erectile dysfunction will be as successful as the rat trials so that eventually the chemicals can be developed into a Viagra-like formula.

Vyas recently received an award for his thesis on “Effects of Some Ayurvedic Medicinal Plants on Male Infertility,” which he did under the guidance of another associate professor, Dr. Manan Raval.

His research also received a gold medal and certificate of recognition at the Gujarat Science Congress in February 2018.

“This compound will provide a lead for [the] development of [a] series of new drugs which may help those suffering from sexual dysfunction,” says Raval, “especially because of low testosterone levels.”

Treating erectile dysfunction now

If you have erectile dysfunction and don’t want to wait around to see if these plants become the basis for an Ayurvedic Viagra, make an appointment to talk to your doctor about traditional Viagra.

Viagra is the world’s most popular erectile dysfunction drug and is available by prescription. It’s also the most counterfeited drug in the world, so it’s vital that you don’t try to buy it on the Black Market or in “supplement” form at your local convenient store.
