Do Kegels

Ginkgo Biloba

But be warned: ginkgo is not risk-free — it comes with dizziness, stomach upset, palpitations, and blood issues.

Ginseng

Panax ginseng is another herb known to have helped in an erection. It works on the spongy muscles on your penis, helping you achieve and keep an erection more easily.
