Chinese Tonic for Sexual Vitality

A History of Traditional Use
Epimedium is one of the most valued tonics of Chinese herbalism. Its first recorded use dates back to the ancient text, Shen Non Ben Cao Jing (ca. 200 BC-100 AD). It was viewed as a kidney and adrenal tonic, used for male endocrine function, erectile function and enhancement of libido in men and women. Epimedium was said to “tonify life's gate” — a term used to refer to the vital energy responsible for male sexual capability — as well as to strengthen tendons and bones.

Epimedium received its colloquial name, horny goat weed, when goats grazing on the herb were observed to increase their sexual activity.
