摘　　要：Sexual dysfunction is a disruption of normal sexual intercourse and may be a consequence of various organic and psychological disorders. It is the most frequent at patients with cardiovascular and neurological diseases, sedentary lifestyle, arterial hypertension, diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome, and may disrupt their emotional life. But, sexual dysfunction may occur simply because of the physical aging of the body. Physiologic changes that occur with aging will aff ect sexual function and could be exacerbated by the above-mentioned diseases. Except for the sexual counseling and standard medications (phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5)– inhibitors, local estrogen therapy), some of the herbal medicines (aphrodisiacs) may be helpful in the treatment of these patients making them emotionally younger and happier. In this review, we bring a list of the pharmacologically tested aphrodisiac plants. But, we have a lack of information about their mechanisms of action, drug interaction and safety profi le. Until the relevant information is collected, uses of these products may be risky to the human being and should be prescribed only in consultation with a specialist.
