Our Organic Epimedium, also known as Horny Goat Weed, is a perennial, ivy-like ground shrub native to the mountainous regions of China, Japan, and Korea. This remarkable herb, scientifically known as Epimedium grandiflorum, belongs to the Berberidaceae family, which includes other well-known plants such as barberry and Oregon grape. With a rich history of use dating back to 200 B.C.E. in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Epimedium continues to be valued for its powerful and beneficial properties.
In TCM, Epimedium is called yin yang huo, which translates to “weed for licentious goat.” According to legend, a herder discovered the herb’s unique properties after noticing an increase in his goats’ sexual activity after grazing on the plant. This led to its nickname, Horny Goat Weed, and its longstanding use to support vitality and well-being.
Epimedium grows in the higher, drier regions of China, Japan, and Tibet, and has been historically consumed in the form of infusions or extracts. It has been celebrated for its legendary ability to support energy, vitality, and overall wellness.
Epimedium has no known precautions. However, as with any herbal supplement, we recommend consulting a qualified healthcare practitioner before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
Embrace the power of Organic Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed), a herb with thousands of years of tradition and revered benefits that continue to support vitality and health today.
