essence herb. Its name can literally be translated, revealingly,
as "the herb for the man that likes sex too much,
like a goat," or more simply "goat sex herb." In
general this is what Epimedium is famous for and the most
common purpose for using it. It is worth noting that women
often take this herb as well to increase their sexual drive

body, and in particular in the genital region. Epimedium
also increases sperm production in men.
Epimedium has been found
to have significant ability to lower high blood pressure,
without reducing it below normal if used by people with
normal blood pressure.
