According to the American Diabetes Association, 13 million men in the United States have low testosterone levels, and among those men, 70 percent report experiencing erectile dysfunction, and 63 percent experience low sex drive. That’s a lot of unhappy men!
Such a delicate subject requires fine medicine. And as always, instead of merely treating the symptoms, homeopathy gets to the root of the problem.
My father calls the locale of these problems “ground zero.” Modern medicine discusses male health in terms of prostate hormone numbers and libido. Homeopathy likes to get a little more personal.
Using the classical method, I used to consider a number of remedies, requiring differentiation between them by paying close attention to the details of each.
Let’s consider a few of the most valuable homeopathic remedies for this important area of a man’s life.
Caladium is a remedy of repute for the inability to perform during sexual excitement. Even with lascivious thoughts, the man is unable to perform. A keynote in determining that this remedy is the correct choice is the sufferer’s demeanor. The man who will respond best to Caladium often experiences mental depression along with impotence, and the new problem is met with a deepening of this depression.
The remedy Selenium 200 is of maximum value when the man experiences weakness after coition. This may not happen every time, but more commonly occurs after sexual excesses. The sexual exhaustion may be accompanied by prostate problems such as urine and seminal loss.
Agnus castus 200 is a valuable medicine for men as they age and is noteworthy when desire has been lost or impotence is a problem. Premature old age, where the genitalia are relaxed and cold, is a characteristic that points to the need for this remedy. The man’s history usually includes an excessive sexual appetite earlier in life that is missing in later years. This may be accompanied by anxiety and despair, particularly about his health and his sexual ability. Memory and mental dullness may also be present. A collapsed or broken-down state that occurs after overindulgence in alcohol, drugs or sex may also be a call for this remedy.
Lycopodium 200 is a remedy of great value in men’s health. When sexual dysfunction accompanies a gastrointestinal problem such as frequent bloating, gas and food intolerances, Lycopodium 200 twice daily can often root out the gastrointestinal condition (usually slowly, over a period of weeks or months) and restore a man to his old masculine self. The key here is the corresponding abdominal bloating and distention causing distress after eating. Gurgling, gas and belching may also pose a problem for this man. Even though this may not be the main complaint, if these symptoms are present, it may direct us precisely to the remedy most needed.
BUT …
Now employing the Banerji Protocols that I learned while working with Drs. Banerji in Calcutta, the most consistently reliable medicine for male impotency, low sperm count, loss of libido, etc. is Aurum metallicum 200. Based on their data, gathered over nearly 150 years, the Banerjis have found that in approximately 80% of the male population this remedy will act favorably.
What does that mean? Well, it means that if taken consistently, such as one dose every 3 days, slowly and steadily the libido will often return, the sperm count over many months will increase, and masculinity will be restored.
Interestingly, Aurum metallicum is also a capital medicine for chronic fatigue and depression.
Hence, when this triad of weakened masculinity, fatigue and depression present, Aurum metallicum 200 is a likely choice for restoration.
Acknowledging the importance of this issue in most men’s lives, the inevitable question arises…how long will it be before the remedy acts?
First, let me point out that with a chronic problem one will note a slow but steady progression. The person may take one step forward and one step back. What we’re aiming for is a net gain after approximately two months.
That means that if Lycopodium is the correct remedy, a decrease in gastrointestinal bloating symptoms will show improvement. Perhaps the disposition will show steps forward as well. Watch for small but not insignificant signs of this, and they will provide encouragement that the other areas will follow.
This, my friends, is how you read a case.
But some men report to me that the change after taking the remedy is downright remarkable within a few weeks.
The correct remedy will stimulate the person’s natural healing response to bring the body back to balance and heal itself.
No drugs of questionable safety. Just simple old-fashioned healing so that the problem no longer exists.
This is the beauty of homeopathy.
So, stay home and cure your family and when done, pass on the good word to others.
I am a homeopath with a worldwide practice working with families and individuals via Zoom. I'm also a teacher and most importantly, a mom who raised my now-adult children depending on homeopathy over the last 31 years. I lived decades of my life with food intolerances, allergies, and chemical sensitivities until I was cured with homeopathy, so I understand pain, anxiety, and suffering. You may feel that your issues are more severe or different than anyone else’s, but I have seen it all in my practice and in my work in India. My opinion is that nothing has come close to the reproducible, safe and effective results that my clients, students and I have achieved with homeopathy.
Call today and learn how homeopathy might just be the missing piece in your health strategy.

Joette, Thank you for this timely information. I will order these homeopathics and give them a try on my husband.
Now that you’ve addressed male sexual problems, could you address female after menopause?
Thank you!
Joette
Thank you for addressing this topic.
One question: If this condition was attributed (by a doctor) as the side effect of a pharmaceutical (also caused kidney pain), which was taken for 8 years after a heart attack (and then stopped), would any of the homeopathic remedies listed in this post apply to this situation? The “intent” is there, but the capability is weak. Age 60+…could it also be age related? I think premature mental aging may also be a part of this, but no over-indulgence of any sort is involved.
Yes, this is fabulous information. Can’t wait to give them a try on my husband. I too would like female low libido and vaginal dryness addressed. Seems these are common now days.
Thanks
What remedy would be appropriate for a man who can get aroused and maintain an erection but cannot ejaculate?
Joette, Thanks again for a bounty of healing protocols. I am going to copy this article and keep with the others I have from you and, being that my friends and I are all in this age group, I will watch carefully in the men’s eyes for depression, and pass the protocols on to the wives- that way I won’t have to pry! – Linda
Please address women’s low desire issues too.
What remedy would be appropriate for a man who is unable to complete sex at times (unable to ejaculate)?
Often the same remedy is applicable in a myriad of situations that men suffer.
Thanks Joette! I’d love to see a post about sexual problems in younger men—i.e. the opposite problem…overactive sex drive, even sexual addiction…
Excellent idea. Pornography addiction is something worth writing about too.
Hi Joette 🙂 Is “one dose” generally considered to be three to five pellets/tablets?
A dose is the number of pills that is written on the side of the bottle. Generally it is 3-5 pellets. If this helps you, pls pass on the news to your friends. Spread the word of homeopathy.
My homeopath in England Mary aspenwall says one pellet is sufficient for a dose…and to never (strong words I know) ever follow the dosage on bottles….. so confusing what to believe,….. she says the companies are just trying to sell remedies…. your thoughts kindly please??…..
I used to suggest to clients to use only 1 pellet as a dose. Through the years many have reported that they note better results when using the recommended number.
Indeed, when I’m sick, I use the recommended amount because I don’t want to take chances. I want relief.
And really. Our homeopathy pharmacies need out support; not our condemnation.
What is the appropriate dosage of Agnus castus?
Generally this remedy is taken every 3 days over a period of weeks. Having said this, I believe that Aurum metallicum is usually the better chosen remedy to start.
Thank you so much for this article. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for seven years, mostly due to his extremely low sperm count and low testosterone. I have been wanting to make an appointment for him to see you but haven’t been able to afford it yet as he is still in school and we are relying on student loans to help pay the bills, so I really appreciate all of the free information you provide. I will be ordering the Aurum Metallicum right away!
Wishing you the best.
Would Lycopodium 200 also be indicated for a woman with the same digestive issues and low sex drive? Same dosage? How many pellets?
It might help with digestive issues if there is frank bloating, gas, gurgling, etc, but Lycopodium is not a remedy for women’s hormone conditions.
I found the information on Low Libido ( Sept. 24th ) extremely helpful! I contacted the company your recommend, RADIANT LIFE to order but they DO NOT carry
homeopathic remedies. Can you please tell me where I could order these from? Thanks!!!
I don’t know where you read that I suggest you go to Radiant Life for homeopathics. When you read my blogs, simply click on the remedy name that is in blue font to take you to the link where you can purchase the remedy.
Thanks, Joette for all your good info. What potency would you use with the caladium?
Some homeopaths use it in 30th and others in 200.
Arum Met and Lyco are the best Homeopath medicine for
low libido and erectyle dysfunction particularly
for diabetic.
Have you had any experience with treating Peyronie’s disease with either of these remedies? It is not really a condition of low libido but rather scar tissue. Do you have any recommendations?
The medicine choices would be very different and I’ve seen them act well, but they are symptom specific as well as scar tissue concerns. I’m afraid I’d have to take the case.
Please write about the remedy for recurrence of genital herpes.
coming up next week.
Several people mentioned that you need to also address low libido, dryness in Women, yet I did not see you reply in any of the comments. Will that topic be covered soon?
We’re presently putting together an entire on-line course on women’s hormonal health. Given that women’s reproductive health is more complex and tinkered with, we decided it merited more. The course specifics will be posted on my site and if you receive my emails, you’ll receive notice sometime this or next month.
My husband started on synthetic testosterone because he was experiencing low libido, etc. I would love to wean him off of them. It sounds like he definitively needs Aurum Metallicum. In your post on estrogen dominance you stated to take Ammonium Carbonicum 200c every other day for ailments related to the use of synthetic hormones. Would this remedy be for for men, too? Should he take this along with the Aurum Metallicum?
These remedies are gender specific and should not be considered interchangeable. This is why I use specific examples of male and females.
Does this remedy boost testosterone level ?
In my observations, esp. from working at the Banerji Reasearch Foundation, yes.
What do you use for men when libido is fine, erection occurs, but intercourse is over in 1-2 minutes.
I can’t say I know of a homeopathic for this situation. Perhaps, frequency would make a difference.
It means one dose after every two days, say one dose Monday then again on Thursday, I’m I right?
Hi. May I, please, ask you a question? When you mention Aurum 200 or Lycopodium 200 etc you mean the 200 CH potency or the 200 CK potency? Hahnemann method or Korsakow method about the dilution you mentioned? (In my country I find this remedies in 200 CH dilution, which is different from 200 CK dilution; in French school of homeopathy, which is often practiced in my country, 200 CH is a very high dilution/potency, different from American or English or Indian school). So, it is recommended to buy Aurum 200 CH? Or Aurum 7 CH (the correspondent dilution, although the potency is different? You reffered at 200 CH or 200 CK in the article? Thank you very much.
.
Hi Joette Calabrese, will it be helpful for men with Premature Ejaculation problem ? if yes, how long should it be taken ?
.
THis method is useful for many related conditions that men suffer, including PE. When we use homeopathy, it is taken until it is clear that the condition is fully or at least nearly eliminated.
Would all of these 200c remedies be given with the same frequency mentioned (1 dose every 3 days) or is that just for the Aurum Metallicum?
Only Aurum met 200 is used e 2-3 days.
My husband developed Low-Testosterone several years ago, which was diagnosed after dealing with erectile dysfunction for many years. He has been on synthetic testosterone therapy for a few years now, which has helped tremendously with his mental state and also his physical strength, etc. However the erectile dysfunction still exists. Desire is there, but cannot achieve or maintain erection which now has us doing injections. Should we expect Aurum Metallicum to work in this case?
Why not?
I don’t know. I guess because we’ve been hopeful before and disappointed. Well we’ll find out. Thank you Joette.
When homeopathy is applied correctly, it rarely fails to deliver. But the key is in applying it correctly.
I have condition of heaviness after small meal (food intake also very low), constipation, low apetite, flatulance/bloating, penis erection lacking, masturbation habbit, low energy after masturbation, ill health. All are for many years. Should i take lycopodium 200? Pill or globules, what dose?
Also acidity.
Everything you need to know about Lycopodium is in the article. The number of pills that comprises a dose is written on the side of the bottle.
Can I take liquid?
yes
To be taken with how much water?
Can Lycopodium 200 and Aurum Metallicum 200 both be taken together?
It sounds like you hope to hedge your bets. I urge folks to instead learn enough about the spectrum of the remedies and choose one. It offers happier results in the end.
Dear Dr.
I was reading all over the internate searching every where . I did not find anything that links Aurum with treating ED. In men so I was very surprised since I Oder it already
THe only way to fully understand the depth and breadth of a homeopathic medicine is to read a materia medica. It will offer the information you’re looking for.
Dear Dr. after reading your article I ordered both aurum and Lyco . But After reading over mareia medica
It seems like lyco symptoms much my case . With dry noise dry mouth
SLow gastric emptying ,low blood pressures .and ED .should i start with Aurum
As u mentioned it is the best to start with or should i take Tyco. Please advice.
I will keep u posted about the result.
Thank u very much Dr.
Waiting for your reply
Leo, I don’t offer personal medical advise on this forum. To make the best judgement, read both remedy pictures fully, make your decision and stick with it for several weeks. Then make a judgement.
Sorry( should i start with Aurum or Lycopodium)
Oky Dr. i understand ، thank u very much .
Dear mam,
How many Arum met 200 drops take in one dose . ( no. Of drops in one dose).
Fallow the dosage directions on the bottle. They’re different for each pharmacy.
Disappointing The Banerji Protocol book doesn’t have Peyronies syndrome; maybe in Book 2. Due to peyronies scar tissue, Thiosinaminum and/or Silicea may be good choices? Btw, this site is a Blessing.
If the cause of a condition is scar tissue, one of my most often used remedies is Thiosinominum.
i have problem of Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation problem with slightly high BP.Should i take lyco 200 or Arum met 200?
I’m sorry, I don’t offer specific advice here.
Thanks for sharing so good information. Where can i get info for schedule of medicine intake like daily or twice daily or 23 day etc. Thanks again
When choosing one medicine based on symptoms (and this is key to success), it’s usually taken in 200 potency, 1-2 daily for up to 8 weeks.
Hi Joette, this is the best article i have read about ED. Actually it is Not surprising at all as each and every one of your articles are simply superb.
Qs: Have you found corrolation between Lycopodium and Hypothyroidism? In other words those who benefit most from Lycopodium have an underlying undiagnosed or under-treated Hypothyroid condition which ofcourse will include Hypo-parathyroid condition.
Thank you for your words of encouragement.
As for Hypothyroidism and Lyco. I don’t make the assumption in that fashion. I do, however, note that Lyco. often aids in correcting hypoth.
Can we take arum met for long time like 1 year till problem cure
1 year is a rather long time, but its not terribly unusual.
A homeopathic may be taken for a long stretch of time as long as it is doing good.
Like impotency and infertility
Is aurum also good for guys with swollen prostate?
hi joette 1. can we take lycopodium 200 daily two times for 4 month for infertility ? OR
2. Can we take lycopodium 200 in 15 day interval for infertility ?
i try it for one month daily two time it was magicaly work on me . It increases my sperm count from 10mil. To direct 60 mil can i continue it till desired result .
i am very big fan of your blogs .
We generally use the medicine for as long as it takes to get good results. How long it will take to get to completion is difficult to say. Both methods are useful, but I always encourage folks to stay with the method (either daily or weekly)that shows promise, without wavering.
Thanks for sharing this post on Low sperm count.
Hi Joette, will any of the recommended remedies above cause a reversal with a vasectomy?
Thanks ☺️
How does one know when to stop taking Aurum metallicum 200 for extremely low testosterone? When they start feeling better? Is there a suggested maintenance dose once they start feeling better?
We use symptoms as well as testing to determine the length of time for a chronic condition.
Hi , can we take Lycopodium daily two times for infertility till get desired result
The protocol is usually twice daily in 200 potency.
Madam

Aurum met is specific for depression and male hormone conditions. Although I didn’t mention it, fatigue is also a condition that is covered by this medicine. The frequency is stated in the post, the number of pills or drops is printed on the outside of the bottle.
I am aged 68 years(Male) having the complaint of Total Erectile Dysfunction followed by Premature ejaculation since 2 to 3 years.

A dose is equal to the number of drops or pills printed on the side of your bottle.
Hey Joette! After reading all the post I became big fan of yours. Still having some confusion on doses of LYCO 200CH. Should I take 1 times every day, 1 Time alternative days, 1 dose after 7 days or 1 dose after every 3 days.. Please advise…
I’m copying and pasting what I wrote in the article.
“Lycopodium 200 twice daily can often…”

Using Gap between these medicine
E D problem remedy please
Read the article carefully and make your decision based on the medicine that suits most closely.
Please advice effective remedy for ED problem in people aged 65+ years& above
Pls read the article carefully.
Hi,
It was excellent reading the complete article. Please help me….For ED, low Testo, the recommendation in your article as per Banerjee’s is Aurum Metallicum 200.
Does it mean it will also take care of gastro intestinal problems in men with low testo who opt for Aurum Metallicum /or Lyco 200 should be used in this case?
Many thanks!
If you read up on these two medicines it will give you a more fleshed out view of the ability of each. For example, Aurum is specific for low test., etc while Lyco. is specific for GI conditions.
Thanks for the revert but I am sorry again to get the clarification. If the case is of low testosterone present with GI conditions, then I should go against the Banerji’s protocol and should opt for Lyco 200 to get elevation in test and improved GI issues OR I can still go for Aurum 200?
Without taking the case I can’t give you the exact answer to your question but understand that more than one condition may be addressed each with its corresponding protocol. In plain language, this means that 2 protocols may be used for 2 conditions.
My husband had an implant for “cosmetic” reasons several years ago. It since caused infection and had to removed. His libido is fine, but since the tissue was removed for the implant he is no longer able to achieve an erection. Is there a remedy to rebuild the lost tissue? If you need to take the case, we are willing.
Should you be interested in meeting with me, you may contact my office. But what I relay here is a pretty sweeping protocol.
Greetings
May I use nuphar luteum 200 for ed,pe, absent desire, and chronic yellow loose stools
As all these symptoms are present in nuphar
I believe that loose stools are the cause of ED
I am only 23
Thanks:)
What’s your opinion on nuphar in my case?
Nuphar leutum covers what you describe and if you live in India you should have no problem acquiring it. However, if it doesn’t help, remember that there are several other homeopathics to be considered.
Thanks for replying
Loved your article ❤️
Would love to see you also address an enlarged prostate if you haven’t already done so.
Hi, can both aurum as well as lycopodium 200 protocols be applied simultaneously if problems of low libido as well as GI problems are present?
They may be taken in the same schedule but not together at the same moment.
Means with a gap of 1 hour in between of two remedies
They can be separated by as close as 5 min. if that works for your schedule.
Would Aurum Met.200 improve the overall problems of aging in men? My husband is 69 and has the above problems but also he notices that the muscles are getting thinner and he forgets things easily, he feels colder than usual. Would Aurum met help with these things in men. Or is this only for impotence ect.
what is the frequency and dosage of the above mentioned remedy “Caladium” please? is it 30c or 200c. twice daily? it is not mentioned. Thank you
Would Aurum 200 be useful to a male who received the Gardasil shot and is now having trouble conceiving?
Hi Good Morning, Is there a medication in homeopathy for micro penis in 12 year boy. Pls share your thoughts
Without knowing the particular case, my 1st comment would be to give more time for maturation. For some children, it takes many more years before there is a shift.
Meanwhile, eschew a vegan diet and concentrate on meat, whole, raw dairy, and eggs, if possible.
How often should the male take Agnus castus 200?
Pls. read the article carefully.
Hi Joette, I understand that in the article you say that Aurum metallic is the better choice that will encompass all. However, I have your materia Medica, Reading through the description and the symptoms above for Angus cactus it truly describes my boyfriend to a T. I just don’t know how often or for how long I should have him take it.
He gets sprains often, he has soft stools constantly, he experiences overwhelming fear of death, he used to have a very wild sex life and now he doesn’t want it at all.
If you still think I should use Aurum metallicum, I will, but I do feel like Angus cactus would be the right thing for him
I can’t advise you Rachel, but if you read both remedies in other materia medicas over a period of days, you’ll likely come to the right conclution. Read Phatack, Boericke and Kent on line for free.
In this article, I see the dose of Aurum metallicum is ‘one dose every third day,’ yet in your Wise Traditions Winter 2016 article, “Homeopathic support for menfolk”
https://joettecalabrese.com/wtw2016/ you state
‘Using Aurum metallicum 200 once every other day for a period of many weeks will often set a man straight.’ Is this just a preference then depending on the results? Please clarify.
Thank you so very much.
I’ve used both methods.
