There are many varieties of plants, including grandiflorum. Epimedium herb Yinyanghuo, one of the popular Chinese materia medica, is a multiple species colony of Epimedium genus belonging to Berberidaceae. There are five species that have been officially adopted in Chinese Pharmacopoeia under the same crude drug name Yinyanghuo comprising E. brevicornu, E. koreanum, E. sagittatum, E. pubescens, and E. wushanense. In addition, non-official species like E. acuminatum, E. miryanthum and E. leptorrhizum are also mixed and used.Traditional uses and benefits, informationHerba Epimedii, the dried aerial parts of Epimedium brevicornum, sagittatum, E. pubescens, E. wushanense T. S. Ying, and E. koreanum Nakai, has been widely used in Chinese medicine for centuries for nourishing the kidney and reinforcing Yang.Composition of the plantEpimedium herb has flavonoids such as icariin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C and baohuoside Iicariin, along with prenylated flavonol glycosides sagittasine A-C, acylated flavonol glycosides such as kaempferol, together with flavonolignans, 2-phenoxychromones, a lignan, and aromatic acid derivatives. Some of these compounds, particularly icariin, promote endothelial nitric oxide-dependent relaxation of blood vessels and hence can be of help for the treatment of erectile function and impotence. Benefit Epimedium species have been used by Chinese doctors for many centuries, but the use of this herb in the West is mostly for sexual enhancement.How long does it take to work? ExperiencesUnlike prescription medications, epimedium leaf extract does not work in an hour or two. It normally takes several days for the sexual benefits to be noticed although some people can feel the effects within a day or two. Many who have experimented or experienced with it say it takes about 3 days on average for the full benefits.Human studiesAs of 2014, we could only find one human study with epimedium herb.Effect of Epimedium sagittatum on quality of life and cellular immunity in patients of hemodialysis maintenanceZhongguo Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Za Zhi. 1995. In present study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of Epimedium Sagittatum on patients of hemodialysis maintenance. 22 cases of regular hemodialytic patients were treated with this herb in the form of decoction. 12 patients with hemodialysis were served as controls. It was found that Epimedium plant had sexual potentiation effect and improved the quality of life in the patients of chronic renal failure with regular hemodialysis. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) activity of peripheral blood monocytes stimulated by PHA was increased significantly in the patients treated with the herbal preparation. It is suggested that this Chinese medicine had therapeutic effect on sexual disorder and immunologic inadequacy in the patients of chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.Drug interactionsIt is possible that epimedium could interact with prescription stimulant drugs, anti-depressants Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, heart medications, blood pressure medications, and erectile dysfunction meds such as Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. Caution is advised when mixing herbal remedies with prescription medications.Animal studiesOsteoporosisPrevention of bone loss by aqueous extract of Epimedii sagittatum in an ovariectomized rat model of osteoporosis.Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Xue Bao. 2006; Department of Pharmacy, Yueyang Hospital of Chinese Integrative Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, China.Our findings assessed on the basis of biochemical test, bone mineral density and histomorphometric parameters show that aqueous extract of Epimedii sagittatum has a definite antiosteoporotic effect and can prevent the ovariectomy-induced bone loss in rats.
