Premature or early ejaculation is a common problem many men experience in the bedroom. The inability of a man to hold back his climax until both partners are ready for it can create grave trouble in the relationship, and this is why men suffering from premature ejaculation should take it very seriously and work to eliminate or reduce the causes before the damage becomes too formidable to fix.

The following herbs have been used in alternative remedies to delay orgasm in men:

Angelica: The root of this plant has anaesthetic properties. It can reduce the sensitivity of the penis, which is the stimulative cause of premature ejaculation. Angelica root oil can be applied directly to the penis, but it is often used with other ingredients in topical treatments (creams, gels and oils).

Folic Acid: Folic acid is a type of B vitamin. It has been shown to help improve mood and relieve depression. A study published in “Medical Hypotheses” suggests that folic acid supplementation may help remedy premature ejaculation by interacting with monoamine neurotransmitters in the brain (the same way antidepressants work).

Panax Ginseng: The root of the Panax ginseng has a wide range of uses in traditional medicine. Besides improving blood flow, erectile function, stamina and libido – it has also been effectively used to remedy early orgasm in men.

Clove: Studies suggest that Clove flower can be helpful to men suffering from quick climax. It is used in combination with other herbal ingredients to delay ejaculation in men and the results are positive.

Dong Quai: The root of this plant has been used for ages in traditional Chinese medicine for different purposes. It is used in multi-ingredient herbal topical preparations for the treatment of premature climax.

Premature ejaculation can be a lifelong condition, meaning that it has been with you since the beginning of your sexual history, or it may develop at any time as a result of one or more of the causes discussed above.

If you suspect you have this condition it is best to visit your doctor to discuss the problem. Your doctor can better diagnose it, understand the causes and recommend certain treatments or prescribe a medication for you.

Premature ejaculation does not have to be either a mystery or an embarrassment. There are ways to overcome it and doctors can prescribe medication if needed. It can prove to be difficult to discuss this problem with someone else, but remember that your relationship and sexual well-being may be at stake.
