A History of Traditional Use
Epimedium is one of the most valued tonics of Chinese herbalism. Its first recorded use dates back to the ancient text, Shen Non Ben Cao Jing (ca. 200 B.C..-100 A.D.) It was viewed as a warming herb that benefited jing (semen or life essence), and was used in tea as a traditional male tonic. It received its colloquial name, horny goat weed, when goats grazing on the herb were observed to increase their sexual activity. In recent years, epimedium has been extensively used in China for support of the heart and liver. It has also been the subject of a number of animal studies. In vitro animal studies suggest that icariin, found in epimedium, may enhance the production of testosterone. More research is needed to confirm its effects, if any, in humans.
