Horny Goat Weed, Origin & Initial Use

The use of epimedium as a medicinal herb dates back to at least 400 A.D., and is one of the most valued tonics of Chinese herbalism. For centuries it has been used as a tonic for the reproductive system, boosting libido and treating impotence, and as a rejuvenating tonic to relieve fatigue. It was said to "tonify life's gate".. a term used to refer to the energy responsible for sexual performance and capability.

The story has it that the name "horny goat weed" was coined by a farm hand who noticed his goats becoming more and more sexually aroused after chewing on the plant. Shortly after, he then tried a tea composed of the herb, and noticed the same effects.
