Horny goat weed could be better for sex life than Viagra

A CHINESE herbal remedy called horny goat weed is a promising alternative to Viagra for impotent men, Italian researchers said yesterday.

The herb has long held a reputation as a natural aphrodisiac.

The lab experiments, which did not look at whether the plant actually increases desire, could lead to new drugs to help men get erections, said Mario Dell’Agli, a researcher at the University of Milan, who led the study.
