Description
Botanical Name: Conventional: Epimedium sagittatum
Origin: China
According to folklore, a Chinese goat herder noticed that his flock had heightened sexual activity after eating the plant. This led to the discovery of the plant’s aphrodisiac (sexually stimulating) qualities. So, if you were wondering where horny goat weed got its name, now you know.
Horny goat weed contains chemical compounds known as phytoestrogens, plant-based substances that have the same effects as the estrogen your body produces. This is why some people suggest that it can influence hormones and bone health.
Alternative medicine practitioners propose that horny goat weed is useful in complementary therapy to treat certain conditions.
