I am 38 yrs old and I have been having erections problems for a year. I am using yohimbine/viagra with limited success.

I went to see a homeopath and I got the medicine and he said I can still continue to use yohimbne/viagra.

Can I use both homeopathic medicine and yohimbine/viagra simultaneously

HI,

We do prescribe Yohimbinum Mother tincture for some patients with impotency problems but that is always along with a consitutional similimum remedy.
IT is not always indicated though and depends on what is the problem from the homeopathic standpoint. There may be other mother tinctures that are of better help.

We've had a few cases that have done very well with either (homeopathic) Yohimbinum or another indicated mother tincture along with the constitutional and it took about 3-6 kmonths for the patients to be completely well.

About Viagra, I have no idea.

Hope this helps.

Hi Doc

One question, why can't the remedy chosen according to homeopathic principles alone address this (or for that matter any other issue). Why do we need to give the tincture alongwith the constitutional remedy.

FYI, here in KSA, Viagra is no more prescription drug and is OTC (over the counter). The phramacists tell that this is the hottest selling product of all despite being pretty expensive $ 40 for 4 tablets. I wonder what the health effects would be on users in the long term. I think its a matter of awareness, proper diet, exercise & stress management obviate the need for any stimulants, in most.

Regards.

Due to this ODD practice it is fact that similia principle does not work most of the time. Ninety percent homeopaths are using ODD methods in their practice. For them discussion boards are only for discussing principles and for actual practice they don't care. You love ODD method. You are annoying us. You use and try different methods and try to mearge those methods with homeopathy withuot reason. Same is the case with tincture. Use of Tinctures are not homeopathy. Some medicines have been proved in tinctures form then why do homeopaths use them.

I often visit this board but mostly do not feel courage to appear. The reason is I daily read differnce in opinion. I am really fed up with different views on same topic. What is this. How and when we will enter in 21st century. Sorry I am really depressed today after listening the views. Sorry. [img]redface.gif[/img]

Actually, I've had no trouble getting rid of this symptom for my patients using just their constitutional remedy alone. But I can see how, say if you have a patient with prostate cancer who is suffering from this symptom, a supportive treatment would only enhance the activity of the constitutional remedy.

In one case I have, the symptom was a side effect of blood pressure medication. The constitutional remedy got the pt. off the meds, and the "side effect" disappeared completely, never to return.

Side effects of viagra are pretty much well known by now--biggest threat is to heart function, ie heart attacks could result from use (therefore all patients must be screened before prescription, but of course they aren't...)

Now where we should go? She is encouraging us of using tincture and constitutional at the same time... I respect her opinion but this contradict with what we read in DHMS. [img]redface.gif[/img]

I think I can see the logic here, just like supplementing the remedy with, say, with multivitamins etc., would be a good way to speed up the healing in certain cases, so would giving mother tinctures in some cases.

But this can only be ascertained through actual clinical experience.

Hello Fitness,

Use of Tincture is also suppressive in nature. This is same like use of Allopathic drugs. That was the point I was interested to convey that we have double standard. At one hand we are against allopathy and its suppressive nature and on the other hand we are encouraging people to use tincture with constitutional remedies. Why


Why we have double standard. Why we are using ODD methods.

How can Viagra will suppress erection problem and how can a mother tincture will not suppress impotent symptom. Is there any justification of using tinture with constitutional remedy.

Coming back to ssneni's question, I think you can address your problem at the following levels:

1. Start aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, swimming- anything which can accelerate your heart rate and breathing) a guaranteed libido enhancer. At least 3 times a week, 20-30 minutes each session. The results will be evident in around 2 weeks, depending on your health state now.
2. Intake of balanced diet (remember the food pyramind?)
3. Stop smoking - it reduces blood flow and hinders micro circulation and affects sensory nerves. A major contributor to erectile dysfunction, directly and indirectly.
4. Stress management - Learn to manage stress in your life, learn relaxation techniques. (visit www.drweil.com for some tips)
5. Make sure you get adquate sleep.
6. Try homeopathy for any health problems.

One good test to know if your problem is purely physical or psychological is that if you get adequate morning erections (commonly called the full-bladder-erection) then the problem is not physical and needs to be addressed at other levels.

Hi Dr. Arshad,

I am unaware of tinctures being suppressive, so can't comment. May be the expert members can exchange views on this.

Regards.
