How to Make Homemade Viagra with These Five Ingredients
Watermelon
Watermelon is a natural source of citrulline. Research shows that this amino acid helps support better erections in men with mild to moderate ED (3, 4).
How Watermelon Helps in Erection
The citrulline in watermelon works like Viagra. But instead of increasing blood flow to the penis, your body converts citrulline to arginine, another amino acid.
Arginine then turns into nitric oxide, which opens the blood vessels wider. This allows blood flow into the penis, thus, improving erections.
How to Make Watermelon Viagra
Ingredients:
- ¼ watermelon
- Lemon
- Pomegranate
Directions:
- Toss all the ingredients in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
How to Consume
Drink 1/3 cup of juice on an empty stomach every morning. Do the same every dinner.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate is another natural Viagra fruit that works as a testosterone booster. This is based on several studies conducted on the said fruit (5, 6).
How Pomegranate Helps in Erection
Researchers from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh conclude that pomegranate flavonoids may help inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. UDP-glucuronosyltransferases is an enzyme that has something to do with the interference of testosterone metabolism (7).
How to Make Pomegranate Viagra
Ingredients:
- Six large pomegranates
Directions:
- Cut off the pomegranate crown using a paring knife.
- Score the fruit into sections.
- Break the pomegranate open.
- Remove the arils or the seed pops in a bowl with cool water. This prevents the juice from squirting everywhere.
- Throw the arils into the blender. Blend for 15-20 seconds.
- Pour the arils through a strainer. Press with a rubber spatula for the juice to drip faster.
How to Consume
Drink a glass of fresh pomegranate juice every day.
Garlic
Garlic is rich in allicin. In one study, garlic was shown to have more or less similar effects and mode of action as Viagra (8). But how does garlic cure erectile dysfunction?
How Garlic Helps in Erection
Garlic works the same way as Viagra. The only difference is that Viagra increases blood flow by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5). PDE-5 is the enzyme responsible for degrading cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which helps relax the smooth muscle to achieve an erection.
Rather, garlic activates guanylyl cyclase, an enzyme that catalyzes cGMP synthesis.
How to Make Garlic Viagra
Ingredients:
- Three cloves of garlic, crushed
- Milk
- Honey
Directions:
- Mix the crushed garlic cloves into the milk and honey blend.
How to Consume
Drink one glass of the mixture every day.
Alternatively, you can eat three garlic cloves straight and push them down using the milk and honey blend.
Asian Ginseng
Ginseng has been used for medical reasons since ancient times. Now, solid research backs up claims about the herb, particularly Asian ginseng, as an effective natural Viagra for men (9, 10).
How Asian Ginseng Helps in Erection
Asian ginseng contains ginsenosides that act at the cellular level to improve erection. One study found that the action may be most effective if you have high lipids in your blood and metabolic syndrome (11).

Saffron
Saffron is a delicious spice that can be used as a natural Viagra at home. It is found to have positive effects on erectile functions (12, 13).
