The health of the blood vessels especially the inner lining is crucial to supply of blood to vital body parts. When it suffers due to age and health conditions like diabetes, hypertension it loses its vascular tone and leads to a condition called Endothelial dysfunction . This is the most common cause of erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Viagra contains the molecule UK-92-480 (sildenafil) that potentiates the effect of Nitric Oxide (NO), a neurotransmitter that signals the nutrient blood vessels of the heart to relax and increase their flow.

Viagra works as inhibitor of an enzyme of the phosphodiesterase type five class (PDE-5) which is predominant isoform in the penis. When stimulation occurs through sexual or physical stimulation or erotic fantasies, it triggers neurotransmitter NO release across the neuromuscular junctions of the penile arteries and cavernosal smooth muscles. This results in relaxation of the penile smooth muscle, creating an increased penile blood flow leading to erection.

Homeopathy as alternative medicine to Viagra

Homeopathy offers a more viable alternative to Viagra since the pathophysiology line of treatment is similar but without any side effects. Its broad range of actions are as follows

Homeopathy helps to maintain vascular integrity and sufficient blood flow, and prevent lipid peroxidation by correcting digestive system and absorption of essential nutrients
Increases peripheral blood flow both in normal healthy subjects and those with arteriosclerosis (Gikgo Biloba). For instance, 60 mg per day of ginkgo extract increased penile arterial flow in a group of patients who had not responded to penile papaverine injection. Half of the 60 study participants regained potency within six months (arteriosclerosis is the thickening and hardening of the walls of the arteries caused by the buildup of fatty plaques, cholesterol, and some other substances in and on the artery wall typically due to old age)
It treats erectile dysfunction due to emotional/mental causes like depression with alpha 2 antagonist herbs like Coryanthe yohimbe. This also increases libido and the latency period between ejaculations. It also has been shown to enhance erectile function in patients with diabetic neuropathy
It acts as a stimulant on the nervous system which increases libido and potency (Strychnos Nux vomica)
It acts as restorative for the male genital urinary tract which is essential for sexual wellness (Chimaphila umbellate)
It seeks to maintain the proper hormone balance in the prostate gland which is needed for optimal sexual function, especially in older men (Saw palmetto k.a Serenoa serulatta )
It addresses pelvic atony associated with childbirth and excess sexual activity, “sexual lassitude” and infertility (Chamaelirium luteum or Helonias)

Homeopathy recognizes that impotency may be psychological or physiological in nature. It aims to treat primary cause and also identifies the role of a diet high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from fresh fruits and vegetables to help maintain vascular integrity and sufficient blood flow, and prevent lipid peroxidation. The aim is to prevent Lipid peroxidation from free radical formation that decreases hormones and neurotransmitters needed for normal erectile function.
