Ointment made from turmeric may be effective against erectile dysfunction

A large number of men face issues getting an erection and this turns out to be a major factor ruining relationships. Experts have been trying to find ways for tackling such disorders and while a number of methods have been tried, scientists say a common ingredient may help.

It turns out that an ointment created from turmeric can actually help men deal with erectile dysfunction. Scientists even suggested that a chemical called curcumin found in the spice may be better than several drugs.

The ointment can seep through the skin and boosts blood flow to genitals when rubbed on the stomach. Meanwhile eating it doesn’t have the same effect since the spice gets destroyed in the stomach.
