Tribulus terrestris-considered as an energizer and vitalizer in the indigenous system of\u00a0medicine<\/a><\/h2>\n
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Tribulus terrestris<\/i><\/p>\n

Tribulus terrestris<\/b><\/i>\u00a0is a\u00a0flowering plant\u00a0in the family\u00a0Zygophyllaceae, native to warm temperate and tropical regions of the\u00a0Old World\u00a0in southern\u00a0Europe, southern\u00a0Asia, throughout\u00a0Africa, and\u00a0Australia.\u00a0It can thrive even in\u00a0desert\u00a0climates and poor\u00a0soil. Like many\u00a0weedy species, this plant has many common names, including\u00a0bindii<\/b>,\u00a0bullhead<\/b>,\u00a0burra gokharu<\/b>,\u00a0caltrop<\/b>,\u00a0cat\u2019s head<\/b>,\u00a0devil\u2019s eyelashes<\/b>,\u00a0devil\u2019s thorn<\/b>,\u00a0devil\u2019s weed<\/b>,\u00a0goathead<\/b>,\u00a0puncturevine<\/b>,\u00a0and\u00a0tackweed<\/b>.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0traditional Chinese medicine<\/a>\u00a0Tribulus terrestris<\/i>\u00a0is known under the name bai ji li (\u767d\u84ba\u85dc). According to Bensky and Clavey, 2004 (Materia medica 3rd edition, pp.\u00a0975\u2013976) Tribulus terrestris is ci ji li (\u523a\u84ba\u85dc). \u201cConfusion with Astragali complanati Semen (sha yuan zi) originally known as white ji li (\u767d\u84ba\u85dc bai ji li), led some writers to attribute tonifying properties to this herb\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

T. terrestris<\/i>\u00a0has long been a constituent in tonics in Indian\u00a0Ayurveda<\/a>\u00a0practice, where it is known by its\u00a0Sanskrit\u00a0name,\u00a0\u201cgokshura\/ sarrata\u201d<\/i>\u00a0It is also used in\u00a0Unani, another medical system of\u00a0India.<\/p>\n

Apart from its claims for improvement of sexual functions in men, the puncturevine plant (Tribulus terrestris: TT) has long been considered as an energizer and vitalizer in the indigenous system of medicine. Sexual behavior and intracavernous pressure (ICP) measurements were taken in rats to scientifically validate the claim of TT [containing protodioscin (PTN)] as an aphrodisiac.<\/p>\n

Tribulus has chemicals that might increase some hormones in animals. However, it doesn\u2019t appear to increase male hormones (testosterone) in humans.<\/p>\n

Chemical control is generally recommended for home control of\u00a0T. terrestris<\/i>. There are few pre-emergent herbicides that are effective. Products containing\u00a0oryzalin<\/a>,\u00a0benefin<\/a>, or\u00a0trifluralin<\/a>\u00a0will provide partial control of germinating seeds. These must be applied prior to germination (late winter to midspring).<\/p>\n

After plants have emerged from the soil (postemergent), products containing\u00a02,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid\u00a0(\u201c2,4-D\u201d),\u00a0glyphosate, anddicamba\u00a0are effective on\u00a0T. terrestris<\/i>. Like most postemergents, they are more effectively maintained when caught small and young. Dicamba and 2,4-D will cause harm to most broad-leaved plants, so the user should take care to avoid over-application. They can be applied to lawns without injuring the desired grass. Glyphosate will kill or injure most plants, so it should only be used as a spot treatment or on solid stands of the weed.<\/p>\n

Simmer 500 mg of powered tribulus in organic milk or almond milk, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. You can add 500 mg of standardized maca to enhance the effect. This blend is particularly nourishing and is recommended for both men and women who have lowered libido<\/p>\n

Tribulus is a plant that produces fruit covered with spines. Rumor has it that tribulus is also known as puncture vine because the spines are so sharp they can flatten bicycle tires. People use the fruit, leaf, and root as medicine for wide-ranging complaints.<\/p>\n

Tribulus is used for\u00a0kidney\u00a0problems, including\u00a0kidney stones, painful urination, a kidney disorder called Bright\u2019s disease, and as a \u201cwater pill\u201d (diuretic) to increase urination; for\u00a0skin\u00a0disorders, including\u00a0eczema\u00a0(atopic dermatitis),\u00a0psoriasis, andscabies; for male sexual problems, including\u00a0erectile dysfunction\u00a0(ED), involuntary release of semen without orgasm (spermatorrhea), and to increase sexual desire; for\u00a0heart\u00a0and circulatory system problems, including\u00a0chest pain,\u00a0high blood pressure,high cholesterol, and \u201ctired\u00a0blood\u201d (anemia); for problems with digestion, including colic, intestinal gas (flatulence),\u00a0constipation, and to expel intestinal parasitic worms; for pain and swelling (inflammation) of the tissue lining the mouth (stomatitis) andsore throat; and for\u00a0cancer, especially nose tumors.<\/p>\n

Women use tribulus to tone muscles before\u00a0childbirth, to cause an\u00a0abortion, and to stimulate milk flow.<\/p>\n

Some people use tribulus for gonorrhea,\u00a0liver\u00a0disease (hepatitis), inflammation,\u00a0joint pain\u00a0(rheumatism), leprosy, coughs,\u00a0headache,\u00a0dizziness\u00a0(vertigo),\u00a0chronic fatiguesyndrome (CFS), and enhancing athletic performance. It is also used for stimulating appetite and as an astringent, tonic, and mood enhancer.<\/p>\n

recap<\/p>\n

Tribulus terrestris, also known as puncture vine, is a herb that has been used in the traditional medicine of China and India for centuries.<\/p>\n

In the mid-1990s, tribulus terrestris became known in North America after Eastern European Olympic athletes said that taking tribulus helped their performance.<\/p>\n

The active compounds in tribulus are called steroidal saponins. Two types, called furostanol glycosides and spirostanol glycosides, appear to be involved with the effects of tribulus. These saponins are found primarily in the leaf.<\/p>\n

Why Do People Use Tribulus?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Tribulus is most often used for infertility, erectile dysfunction, and low libido. In the last decade, it has become popular to improve sports performance.<\/p>\n

Tribulus has been marketed these conditions because research performed in Bulgaria and Russia indicates that tribulus increases levels of the hormones testosterone (by increasing luteinizing hormone), DHEA, and estrogen. The design of these research studies, however, has been questioned.<\/p>\n

A more recent study found that four weeks of tribulus supplements (at 10 to 20 milligrams per kg of body weight daily) had no effect on male sex hormones testosterone, androstenedione, or luteinizing hormone compared to people who did not take tribulus.<\/p>\n

1) Erectile Dysfunction<\/h3>\n

Preliminary animal studies found that tribulus heightened sexual behavior and increased intracavernous pressure. This was attributed to increases in testosterone. There haven\u2019t been any well-designed human studies to confirm these early findings.<\/p>\n
