The Benefits of Butea Superba<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Butea superba is a plant long used in certain systems of traditional medicine, including traditional Thai medicine. Available in dietary supplement form, the roots of Butea superba contain compounds said to improve sexual function. In scientific studies, Butea superba’s roots have been found to contain a variety of flavonoids (a class of compounds with antioxidant effects.<\/p>\n

Uses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Thought to act as an\u00a0aphrodisiac, Butea superba is typically used to in alternative medicine to enhance sexual performance and treat\u00a0erectile dysfunction.
\nIn addition, Butea superba is sometimes used in alternative medicine for such health problems as\u00a0diarrhea\u00a0and fever.
\nButea superba is also purported to improve fertility.<\/p>\n

Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So far, most of the evidence for Butea superba’s potential health benefits comes from preliminary research on animals. For example, several rat-based studies published in recent years show that Butea Superba<\/a> may aid in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. These studies include a report published in the journal\u00a0Andrologia\u00a0in 2012, in which tests on diabetic rats determined that Butea superba may help improve erectile function by stimulating circulation.
\nIn addition, a rat-based study published in the journal\u00a0Fitoterapia\u00a0in 2006 found that treatment with Butea superba helped to increase the animals’ sperm counts.
\nWhile few studies have tested Butea superba’s effects on human health, one clinical trial published in the\u00a0Asian Journal of Andrology\u00a0in 2003 suggests that the herb may help treat erectile dysfunction.
\nAnalyzing findings on a group of volunteers (ages 30 to 70) with erectile dysfunction, the study’s authors found that three months of treatment with Butea superba extract led to significant improvement in erectile function for most of the patients.<\/p>\n

Caveats<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although little is known about the safety of regular use of\u00a0Butea superba, some findings from animal-based research indicate that the herb may have adverse effects on blood chemistry and testosterone levels.
\nGiven these potential health risks, consulting a physician prior to using Butea superba is advised.
\nIt’s important to keep in mind that supplements haven’t been tested for safety and dietary supplements are largely unregulated. In some cases,\u00a0the product may deliver doses that differ from the specified amount for each herb. In other cases, the product may be contaminated with other substances such as metals.\u00a0Also, the safety of supplements in\u00a0pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and those with medical conditions or who are taking medications has not been established.<\/p>\n

Alternatives<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Several natural remedies show promise in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. These remedies include\u00a0ginseng\u00a0and\u00a0maca\u00a0(two herbs widely available in dietary supplement form). What’s more, making certain lifestyle changes (such as quitting\u00a0smoking, achieving and maintaining a\u00a0healthy weight, and managing\u00a0chronic stress) may help fight erectile dysfunction.
\nAdditionally, some natural substances may help improve sexual function in women. For instance, research suggests that use of\u00a0DHEA\u00a0(dehydroepiandosterone) may lead to a significant increase in libido and sexual satisfaction in women over the age of 70.
\nHowever, it should be noted that DHEA may interfere with the production of male and female hormones, as well as alter liver function. Therefore, it’s important to talk to your doctor if you’re considering the use of DHEA supplements.
\nIf you’re seeking a natural approach to enhancing fertility,\u00a0acupuncture\u00a0may be beneficial. In a research review published in the\u00a0Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine\u00a0in 2011, for instance, investigators found that undergoing acupuncture may boost fertility in women and improve the outcome of in vitro fertilization (possibly by improving ovulation).
\nThere’s also some evidence that use of antioxidant supplements among males with fertility problems may help improve sperm motility and concentration and, in turn, increase the couple’s chances of conceiving.<\/p>\n

Where to Find It<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can purchase dietary supplements containing Butea superba online, as well as in many natural-foods stores, drugstores, and stores specializing in natural products.<\/p>\n

A Word From Verywell<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Due to the limited research, it’s too soon to recommend Butea Superba<\/a>\u00a0as a treatment for any condition.\u00a0It’s also important to note that self-treating a condition and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences. If you’re considering using Butea superba, make sure to consult your physician prior to starting your supplement regimen.<\/p>\n
