Herbalists recommend herbs like ginkgo to improve circulation and mental acuity; saw palmetto to nourish the prostate and retard BPH; the Chinese herb astragalus to stimulate sperm production; bee pollen and royal jelly to tone the genito-urinary tract and prevent ailments.
 
The Chinese have a history of identifying successful aphrodisiacs and herbs that can strengthen the male sexual organs. One of the most well known herbal families includes the ginsengs, which have had a long history as aphrodisiacs as well as having overall health benefits. Panax and Siberian ginsengs are known as adaptogens. Adaptogens strengthen the body and have a normalising effect against disease.
