Impotence is defined as the inability to attain or sustain an erection satisfactory for sexual intercourse. It affects 25 per cent of males over the age of 50.
Some of the causes of impotence are long-term alcohol abuse or recreational drug use; hardening of the arteries, usually related to a medical condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure; and accidents or injuries that damage the nerves to the penis. It can also be a psychological or emotional problem-impotence may be a symptom of anxiety or depression orjust a result of being overtired or stressed. Sedatives can also have an effect on the ability to sustain an erection.
Treatment & Prevention Program
Following the diet for health and vitality is a good first step to take to deal with the problem of impotence. A healthy diet and regular exercise can help eliminate some of the causes of this condition. If you suspect that emotional problems are the cause, ask your doctor or naturopath to refer you to a respected counsellor.
Supplement
Tribulus two to three tablets a day.
One tablet of Panax ginseng once or twice a day, or 3 ml of the liquid once a day. A great tonic for the sexual organs.
Ginkgo biloba: one tablet daily to assist peripheral circulation.
One vitamin B complex tablet, for general stress.

Vitamin E Oil Smoothes Them Out
Instead of automatically settling for a lipsticktype protector for chapped lips, try vitamin E oil when you get home from a day in the great outdoors. Or apply it to your lips before you brave the elements. Note from the skin pros: Vitamin E-enriched lotions don’t contain nearly as much vitamin E as the oil.
You can find the oil in health food stores, herb shops and some well-stocked pharmacies. For treatment, rub the oil in softly and slowly, and remember to fully cover the lower lip line.
Three-Step Lip Moisture Tip
When chapped lips pass the point of dry, when they start to flake, peel and hurt, regular lip balm will no longer do, especially during the winter months. Here’s a three-step method from skin experts.
Slough off the flaky skin by using a damp washcloth and massaging gently in a circle.
To restore skin tone and eventually moisture, apply a 0.5% hydrocortisone ointment (available in pharmacies) twice a day. Note: Products that contain alphahydroxy acids can help keep lips smooth.
Finally, to help the healing and to seal and retain moisture, frequently and generously apply lip balm that contains protective waxes (such as beeswax) and sunscreen.
Most people don’t realize that, unlike the rest of the face, the thin skin of the lips produces no oil of its own, so it can use your help.
