Abstract

A composition and method for treating sexual dysfunction by natural means using a combination of L-arginine, ginseng and Zizyphi fructus in an orally administered dosage. The combination works synergistically to alleviate erectile dysfunction by stimulating enough release of NO in the corpus cavernosum to produce and sustain smooth muscle relaxation, thereby allowing the inflow of blood and alleviating erectile dysfunction. Thus, a natural medicinal alternative to Viagra.RTM. is provided for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The composition and method is also useful in treating sexual conditions in females.
