About this title

From Library Journal:

The recent public interest in Viagra resulted in a wave of books about impotence, sexuality, and pharmaceutical and natural aphrodisiacs. Meletis, a naturopathic physician who is currently Chief Medical Officer and Dean of Clinical Education of the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, weighs in with alternative medicine's botanical answers to Viagra. In simple language, he explains the physiology of sexuality and how to enhance it by using particular herbs (gingko biloba, ginseng, wild oats, and yohimbe). He carefully distinguishes between folk uses of these plants and published research on the efficacy of each as well as explaining dosages and side effects. The author addresses herbs that support male and female sexuality and warns against harmful substances. He concludes with useful appendixes and a glossary. Unfortunately, Meletis does not footnote or include complete citations for all the clinical research he discusses. However, he does present a balanced, responsible, useful text on a popular subject littered with questionable publications. Recommended for all public libraries and for any library with a consumer health collection.
