18. Horny goat weed

Despite its comical name, horny goat weed sales are no laughing matter: They totaled $2.5 million in 2003, up 13.9 percent from 2002. Horny goat weed has been used in China as a male aphrodisiac for more than 2,000 years, after goat herders discovered their charges became randy while eating the weeds. However, there have been few scientific studies on the plant, also known as Epimedium glandiflorum or yin yang huo. “I don’t know of any clinical trials. I haven’t seen any good research,” Blumenthal says. “But in a post-Viagra economy, anything goes, even with only a modicum of evidence of its efficacy.”
