Fish mint is a familiar herb with a fishy smell. According to Oriental medicine, this herb has a sour, slightly bitter taste, cool properties, and has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and strengthening the kidneys.

According to modern medicine, the ingredients of fish mint include nutrients that are beneficial to health such as essential oils, alkaloids (Cordalin), vitamins A, B... and minerals such as zinc, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron... Fish mint flowers and fruits contain the active ingredient Isoquercitrin, which has anti-inflammatory and effective heat-reducing properties. These substances are good for general health to support the functioning of organs in the body.

Erectile dysfunction is caused by many factors such as decreased male hormone testosterone, metabolic disorders (diabetes, dyslipidemia...), cardiovascular and neurological diseases... and especially diseases of the urinary tract - genitals in men.

Folk remedies for erectile dysfunction such as using fish mint or other foods are being chosen by many men (or in some cases men are forced to use by their wives) to improve their physiological ability. This actually only has the effect of supporting health improvement during the treatment of erectile dysfunction. If only using fish mint to improve erection, it will not have much effect.

Using folk remedies sometimes only helps men feel healthier, but whether or not the "little guy" "goes up" requires determining the cause and treating the root of the problem. In addition, overusing these foods sometimes leads to indigestion, diarrhea or even poisoning.

Once you have symptoms of "the top doesn't listen to the bottom", you should go to a reputable medical facility with a urologist for examination and treatment, and advice on a reasonable diet and lifestyle.
