Alternative Therapies
Natural herbs and ingredients derived from nature have been used for thousands of years by countries all around the world for treatments of every medical condition you can think of.
The Chinese culture has never lost sight of what natural resources can do for the body and the mind. Shen Nung who was born over 5000 years ago is considered the forefather of Chinese medicine. He helped to identify the therapeutic value of herbs. Since then herbs have been used for every medical problem mankind has seen including sexual disorders.
Chemical-based medicines can successfully do the same but there is always the problem with side effects. Not everyone is a candidate for certain types of medicines. When this is the case you can find an alternative therapy in your own backyard. Flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds, stems, bark and the roots of plants are all sources for healing.
