A Munich court has ruled that a homeopathic product promising to “increase virility” and “activate sexual feeling in women” by increasing blood flow to the genitals has been mislabelled.
The product, which contained traces of the Turnera diffusa shrub native to central and South America, had been marketed as a cure for “sexual weaknesses,” the newspaper the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.
The case was brought by competition authorities who argued there was no scientific evidence to back up the manufacturer’s claims. It also maintained that there was no proof of the effectiveness of homeopathic products in general.
The company countered that erectile dysfunction and lack of interest in sex were “classical, rather than typical symptoms” of sexual weakness, the paper reported.
However the court did not accept their claim and concluded that “sexual weakness” was too vague a term to cover the specific complaints of erectile dysfunction and lack of interest in sex.
It described the advertisements as “misleading” and upheld the view that there was no scientific evidence for either the effectiveness of homeopathy or the Turnera difussa shrub in treating sex-related complaints.
It is time for the countries where believers of homeopathic, ayurvaedic and other alternative traditional herbal unscientific thingies that are sold in the name of medicine, increasing, should learn from Germany. National newspapers and TV channels and all other medias are helping the fraud companies advertising their products which do not at all correct anyone’s erectile dysfunction. It’s time to stop exploiting ordinary innocent people. It’s time to challenge fraud companies. Time to learn from Germany.
So, not only is the plant itself not effective in treating the disorder, they’ve decided to go with a homeopathic preparation, so there isn’t even any of the plant left in the “medicine”. The supposed curative agent is both ineffective and non-existent.
It would be really funny if it wasn’t actually people’s health on the line.

That’s the point of homeopathy: to cure a disease with certain symptoms, you look for a plant or other stuff that causes the same symptoms and dilute it. Similia similibus curentur, similar ones shall be cured by similar ones.
Apparently, Hahnemann was allergic to quinine, so it gave him malaria symptoms. And then he projected.
Also, so much for the complaint that evidence-based medicine “only treats symptoms”.
Oh right, like cures like, as they say. Sorry, sometimes to gets difficult to keep track of all the many different ways in which homeopathy is bullshit.
If the gullible and desperate did not fall for homeopathy’s ridiculous claims there would be no need to challenge them.
Well, the only case where homeopathy could be said to “cure” erectile dysfunction is when a man is impeded by his own psychological state, and ingesting a “remedy” in which he believes makes him happier and more confident. But then, anything could serve the purpose, including good old witchcraft charms and amulets!
Unfortunately, Germany remains homeopathy country despite the occasional court ruling to the contrary.
Oddly enough, as erectile dysfunction and sexual problems in general have psychological causes more often than other problems and Germany- where homeopathy was invented- is one of the places where belief in homeopathy is high,, homeopathic medicine might work here and register as effective in comparisons with other treatments- an expensive placebo, but an effective one.
That’s a widely held belief but it’s not entirely true. For many people this may be true if it turns out to be related to underlying depression or anxiety or relationship problems, but there are several common physical causes which won’t be investigated if people go straight for homeopathy or other placebos. Quite often just stopping smoking and/ or drinking is enough to solve the problem unless those activities have also led to cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Other times there’s not much to be done because it’s related to drugs which can’t be stopped for other reasons.
It should always be treated as a medical problem first and when there’s no medical underlying cause then move on to the therapy, counselling type processes.
“Unfortunately, Germany remains homeopathy country despite the occasional court ruling to the contrary.”
Yes. This is, unfortunately, true. Those who believe in such woo are a minority, but they have successful lobbying organizations. Such people are usually opposed to vaccinations as well and often believe in anthroposophy. I was relieved that the federal health minister (“Gesundheitsminister” in German) is publicly thinking about re-instating that vaccinations be required by law.
An interesting discussion will be worth comment. I do think that you should compose more on this kind of topic, may well be a taboo subject matter but normally people are too few to speak in such matters. To the next. Regards
Why is Taslima concerned of erectile dysfunction?
@Erection
I know, right! Doesn’t she realize that absolute hatred of all men and their penises is a requirement for participation here at Feminazis-R-Us?
Turnera Diffusa is better known as the herb Damiana, and is HERBAL…NOT HOMEOPATHIC. Homeopathy involves the dilution of dangerous substances, rendering them non-toxic but medicinally useful if taken in the prescribed manner. And what works for one person may not work for another, just like our highly commercialized pharmaceuticals. Last I checked, Damiana isn’t all that dangerous (in fact, I love Damiana for it’s anti-anxiety properties) and can even be used as tea. If this company is promoting this product as homeopathic then it is clearly false advertising and giving REAL homeopathy a bad reputation, like many others that promote herbal remedies as “homeopathic”. Although I am a believer in natural medicines and homeopathy for some issues, I do feel that herbal companies need to be held accountable for misleading claims.
And by “dilution” you mean “dilution to the point where there’s nothing of the original substance left at all, meaning that you’re paying money for medicine which is really just water”.
The reason homeopathy has a bad reputation is because it’s complete bullshit. The fundamental idea of homeopathy is that water becomes magic if you shake it just right.
You are right in pointing out that these alternative medicines are often frauds. It’s not at all uncommon for supposedly homeopathic remedies to have measurable quantities of active ingredients, or for herbal remedies to contain something other than what it says on the label.
From Science-based Medicine:
As a side issue, it’s interesting to note that the studies that test for efficacy of alternative medicines rarely conduct independent tests of what the products used actually contain. As such, in addition to the other flaws of the studies (and let’s face it, those are often enough to render them irrelevant), they also face the problem that they don’t actually know if they’re testing “real” alternative remedies or something else.
Well, in ayurvedic medicine you have vajikarana therapy which is more of a multi-modality / whole body system approach to helping with erectile dysfunction. I know you are talking about magic pills and the way they are marketed but you also included Ayurveda which often is not based only on popping herbal preparations.
That’s right. Ayurvedic medicine also includes many other kinds of complete bullshit.
I don’t know about Homeopathy but sildenafil definitely helps………..

4 years ago my prostate were removed because of cancer and 3 months later i could not achieve any erection, this was bad for me because i enjoyed sex alot. I tried to seek medical help from my family doctor and others who were introduced to me by friends but all failed. A colleague of my wife actually told her about ED life and she decided to give a try. They told her about a medication that can cure me and make me normal again, When my wife brought me the medication i was so reluctant to use it because i have suffered from chronic side effects from a lot of Viagra and stimulants. She talked me into taking it and when i was done with it, i must say it’s awesome. My erection comes hard naturally now no side effects and it’s been 2 years now and i am still very much okay. I decided to take this time out to reach out to people out there with this little story of mine to in return serve as a word of encouragement too. If you have a similar problem or any ED related problem do not hesitate to contact him on info@edlifepanacea.com i am very 100% sure he can render professional advice and finally a cure too.

Weak erection and low sperm is one of the most embarrassing problem in this world. This problem almost ruined my marriage and almost made me childless for life. All thanks to doctor Hillary who was able to come to my rescue using his herbal medication and saved my life and marriage. Today i have my third child. If you are still held bound by weak erection, low or watery sperm (azoospermia) feel free to contact him on (hillaconn @ gmail. com) he will be able to render professional advise and solution.
Finally my husband found a permanent cure to his erection problems after radical prostatectomy 4 years ago.
I and my husband used to have this very amazing sex life that anytime we have sex it makes me love him even more, but this amazing sex experience was soon ended when my husband did his prostate surgery and he was unable to achieve any erection. We tried all the urologist prescribed pump, Viagra but none was able to give him even the weakest erection. I met an old friend who made it possible for me to contact ED LIFE PANACEA and there i got a medicine which he used and today sex experience with him is what i always look forward to. He lasts even longer than he did before the prostate surgery and he is okay with no side effects. If you are struggling with any erection related issues just contact them on http://www.edlifepanacea.com or info@edlifepanacea.com. Thanks admin for allowing me share this joy.
