Premature Ejaculation Remedy: Be Natural

Commonly, premature ejaculation is defined as involuntary orgasm within zero to four minutes of the beginning of intercourse, which leaves both a man and his partner unsatisfied with the sexual experience. And yes, it is a problem that only affects men, so plenty of gender bias there!

Though certain physical problems like prostrate gland ailments or urinary tract infections do cause it, a large part of the problem lies in the mind of the sufferer. Any kind of mental or emotional stress is thought to contribute to it, and at the most basic level, a too-long abstinence from sex, which causes intense arousal, would also result in PE.

While there are medical remedies for premature ejaculation, a large number of health professionals these days also advocate the use of natural remedies to help prevent it. Many of these natural remedies are derived from common herbs, many of them better known by their Latin names.

One such herb is Angelica, whose scientific names are Archangelica officinalis, and Angelica archangelica. Many of you may also know it as wild licorice. When applied on the skin of the penis, Angelica oil or cream - derived from the herb's root - has been known to reduce premature ejaculation.

Many of these natural remedies may be traced to the Far East, where the study of such syndromes as premature ejaculation and impotence is a major field. So you have Bu Gu Zhi, an Asian perennial plant whose seed is used in the treatment of it among several urinary and lower back problems.

Though natural remedies for premature ejaculation rarely have side effects, they are not altogether unknown, so it is important that you consult your healthcare provider before you start using any of them. While some side effects may disappear on their own, others may require medical attention, so make sure you know what you are letting yourself in for.

Yet another natural remedy for premature ejaculation is yoga. Daniel Lavenham, a 28-year-old software developer with a family history of it, says he felt his condition improve after only about seven months of yogic exercises that taught him the virtues of controlling certain muscles during sex. "I learnt that muscles I didn't even know existed were major factors in premature ejaculation, and I am now able to lead an immensely satisfying sexual life thanks to yoga," he says.

However, at the time of writing, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is yet to approve the use of any remedy - natural or artificial -for the specific treatment of it, so whatever remedy you use, you have to know that it is not FDA-approved.

However, with a definite rise in the number of reported cases of premature ejaculation, the day when the FDA grants approval for its treatment using natural remedies may not be too far off.
