About Epimedium
Epimedium is a group of flowering plants native to parts of Asia and Europe. Several species have a long history in traditional Chinese herbal practices. Herbalists have traditionally included the leaves in herbal preparations and tonics.
The leaves contain a variety of naturally occurring plant compounds. These include flavonoids, icariin, polysaccharides, sterols and other constituents. Icariin is one of the best-known compounds found in Epimedium and continues to attract scientific interest.
The common name “Horny Goat Weed” comes from a traditional Chinese folklore story about goats becoming unusually energetic after eating the plant. This story has remained closely associated with the herb and reflects its long cultural history.
