Epimedium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Epimedium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As I occasionally do, I will talk about health issues as well as the stock market.  The above link is for information about Epimedium, more widely known as horny goat weed.  It is absolutely true that Epimedium has a chemical called icariin which acts in the same way as Viagra to increase circulation.  On the downside, though, you would have to consume a lot of horny goat weed to achieve the same results as Viagra.  However, Epimedium can easily be made into a tea, and the result does increase circulation to a certain extent.  Also, horny goat weed is helpful for increasing your bone structure, and this is very important for older people.

As for making Epimedium tea, I have discovered that it can easily be made in a coffee maker.  Add about 7 cups of water to the coffee maker.  Place one regular black tea bag in a coffee filter.  Add 4 heaping teaspoons of dried horny goat weed, and turn on the coffee maker.  The resulting tea will not taste much different than regular tea and you will be getting the benefits of Epimedium through a hot water extract.  Drinking this tea has eliminated night-time discomfort in a couple of my toes that have poor circulation.  Horny goat weed can also be easily purchased in 1 pound bulk bags from Starwest Botanicals.  I highly recommend drinking Epimedium tea for good health.
