Herbs with menthol reduce fatigue in men, increase vitality, help treat colds and have many other beneficial properties. But many people have heard about the plant's ability to calm sexual desire. It is unknown whether mint affects male potency, some people refuse to take pills or tea because of it. Meanwhile, in folk medicine this plant is used to treat erectile dysfunction. In order for mint to help, you must follow some rules about its collection and consumption.
Mint helps treat erectile dysfunction
Peppermint and potency in men are not directly related. But the plant, due to its effect on the nervous system, creates conditions for stabilizing erection and increasing sexual desire. Drinks and preparations from this herb will restore strength in stressful situations and prevent the development of neuropsychiatric disorders. By improving the functions of the central nervous system, the activity of internal organs, glands, blood vessels and brain is normalized. The coordinated action of these systems automatically enhances erection and sexual desire.
It's important to know!Doctors recommend using mint for erectile dysfunction as an auxiliary treatment. Decoctions and infusions without the use of drugs are taken only for prevention. Using herbal medicine alone is suitable only in cases of uncomplicated disorders and mild loss of potency due to stress.
Scope of use of the plant and its properties
In folk medicine, mint has always been used to treat insomnia, nausea, arrhythmia as well as psychological and emotional fatigue and the consequences of stress, such as impotence. The plant is very useful for diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, asthma. It also helps cure migraines, heartburn, toothaches, sore throats, stomatitis, acne and inflammatory diseases. The medicinal properties of mint have been confirmed by scientists and clinicians.
The biochemical composition of mint has the following effects:
- sedative;
- anacid;
- antiemetic;
- analgesic and antispasmodic;
- antiseptic;
- anti-itch;
- astringent;
- Anti-inflammatory;
- biliary obstruction;
- expectorant;
- hypotension;
- cheery;
- tonic.
In official medicine, mint leaves or preparations made from it are prescribed to men and women for the treatment of nervous diseases/disorders, emotional disorders, mental/physical fatigue, stress and depression. This herb also helps to eliminate their consequences: arrhythmia, decreased potency, insomnia and other disorders. The plant is also used in digestion, cardiology and dentistry. Mint is used in aromatherapy, cooking and cosmetology to treat skin and hair.
Ability of mint to enhance male power
In most cases, doctors believe that the consequences of nervous stress are the cause of weak potency. These include psychological and emotional instability, insomnia, fear of failure, and nervous and cardiovascular disorders. Since mint has a sedative effect, it automatically eliminates the factor that reduces sexual potency and desire.
The tonic properties of mint help eliminate another cause of impaired erection and sexual desire. Products based on it relieve physical fatigue, muscle tension and discomfort caused by overwork.
Mint is useful for men who synthesize excess testosterone. High levels of it increase sexual arousal and cause hypersexuality (sarcasm, eroticism). Excessive levels of male hormones can adversely affect the duration of sexual intercourse and often cause mental imbalance. Mint gently regulates the synthesis of testosterone and thus automatically normalizes potency.
Attention!Men should not be allowed to overdose, because mint in this case has the effect of reducing potency. Sexual weakness or unstable erection occurs due to a sharp decrease in testosterone levels and inhibition of nervous system functions.
Are there any side effects?
Mint is considered a feminine herb due to its high phytoestrogen content. In men, side effects appear only with uncontrolled long-term consumption of the drink and drugs based on it. Tests have proven that this plant reduces testosterone levels if you drink preparations or mint tea, decoctions and other remedies for more than 1. 5 months. There are no negative effects on potency from consuming peppermint gum, culinary products fortified with it, or other food products.
Mint has a pronounced sedative effect. It significantly relaxes the nervous system and reduces a person's vivid emotions and physical activity. This will have the effect of reducing sexual desire and reducing the severity of sensations during sex. The plant also has the effect of reducing blood pressure, causing loss of energy in people with low blood pressure.
In case of overdose with mint preparations, clinicians note the following reactions in patients:
- blood pressure drops sharply;
- asleep;
- comatose;
- bronchospasm;
- angina;
- slow heart rate;
- worse sleep;
- decreased sexual desire.
Mint has harmful effects on men if he uses too much or drinks folk/pharmaceutical medicines or strong tea for a long time. The only exception is an allergic reaction: it occurs immediately after taking the mint preparation.
When should you not use mint?
Mint and products made from it are prohibited if you are hypersensitive to its biochemical composition. Grass weakens the motility of male reproductive cells, reducing the chance of conception. Therefore, mint and tea should not be used if sperm activity is weak.
The negative impact of mint on male fertility is due to an increase in estrogen production. Erection gets worse due to hormonal imbalance. This is why this plant should not be used if testosterone levels are low (before the onset of menopause or in men over 50 years of age).
Relative contraindications include hypotension and bradycardia. Men with this diagnosis can use peppermint after medical advice. The drug is prescribed in reduced doses or in a 3-7 day course.
A variety of recipes for good potency in men
Traditional medicine is rich in recipes for treating sexual impotence and erectile dysfunction with mint. This herb will benefit men who are not allergic to its ingredients and have normal testosterone levels. The use of decoctions, tinctures and water is equally well appreciated. But for diseases, folk remedies are used in combination with drugs.
Short courses of treatment are recommended for men. Products containing peppermint are taken orally for 2-3 weeks. Then they take a break for 1-2 months. To avoid harm to the body, only a doctor can extend the period of continuous use to 30 - 45 days.

Collect the ingredients and prepare them properly at home
To clean mint from dust before cutting, the stem is watered with a watering can and left to dry completely. It is important to adhere to collection deadlines. You cannot take plants near roads, landfills or landfills.
Prepare mint properly:
- collected in the first half of summer;
- Choose grass in an environmentally friendly place;
- cut the stem with a sharp knife;
- collected in dry weather;
- cut after the dew has dried;
- take mature stem without damage;
- cut off the upper 1/3 of the stem;
- Actively flowering mint was prepared;
- The cut trunk provides shelter from the sun.
After cutting, the mint tops are loosely tied into bunches. They are hung in a shady, well-ventilated place. People are also allowed to pick the inflorescences and leaves from the stems, spread them in a thin layer in a dryer or on a white cloth and toss daily. Rain, sun, and dew cannot be allowed to fall on the raw materials. The degree of dryness is checked by rubbing. The crumpled leaf should be crisp and snap between your fingers, not limp.
After drying, the mint stem is cut into 1. 5-2 cm pieces. The leaves can be crushed with your hands. Finished raw materials are stored in sealed jars to prevent essential substances from evaporating.
The tree has the same effect
There are mint, lemon mint, spearmint, long-leaf mint, wild mint and other plants. They are interchangeable. The product uses the standard ratio: 1 tablespoon. I. ingredients per 250 ml of water. Any herb that contains a large amount of menthol can be used as a mint substitute. Oregano, ivy and lemon mint may also have similar effects. But plectranthus (a houseplant) does not have medicinal properties but is used as an aromatic additive to tea.
Conclusion
There is a myth that peppermint improves sexual performance in all men. In fact, doctors prescribe this medication for a number of diseases and conditions that lead to impaired erection or sexual desire. The appropriateness of using herbs is assessed after examination, but this rule applies only to the treatment of sexual dysfunction. In reviews, doctors say that men can drink weak mint tea at night 2-3 times a week continuously. This concentration and rhythm of consumption does not affect testosterone levels, reduces fatigue, increases resistance to stress and this indirectly maintains potency at the desired level.
