Revolutionary Thai herbs for erectile dysfunction in focus!

On November 15, 2025, Dr. Kanyapak Silarak, Deputy Director of the Department of Traditional Thai Medicine, an exciting announcement. A French company has expressed interest in the Thai formulations to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). This interest is timely as the department is committed to promoting the wealth of knowledge about traditional healing methods. The focus is particularly on the recipe “แก้องคชาตตาย”, which, as a herbal recipe for the treatment of ED, indicates positive effects on blood circulation and sexual performance.

The department has developed over 18 different national Thai formulations that have the potential to promote health and sexual well-being. Among the herbs used for the men's recipe are bitter lotus, ginger and pepper. Interestingly, the popular formula “แก้องคชาตตาย” also contains ingredients like nutmeg and cannabis and will soon be included in the national drug list. These ingredients could help place Thai traditional medicine further in the international spotlight.

Innovations and events

Dr. Monthaka Theerachaisakul, also deputy director, announced an open house event to promote collaboration between the public and private sectors. The aim of the event is to make Thai herbal innovations more internationally recognized and to increase the competitiveness and innovative power of Thai companies in the global market. Anyone interested in learning more about the event can find information on either the Department of Traditional Thai Medicine's website or Facebook page.

Developments in the traditional medical scene are particularly relevant not only to Thailand, but also to international markets. The German researcher Dr. In a study, Leiter has shown that traditional healing methods, including herbal recipes, are becoming increasingly important and are also popular outside of Thailand.

An exciting detail that also comes to the fore is the Thai language, which not only serves as the official language but is also spoken as a native language by over 70 million people. The language is complex, with multiple tones and many cultural influences, particularly from Pali, Sanskrit and Khmer. This multicultural basis makes the Thai language unique and is another reason for interest in Thai culture and medicine, including internationally. Thai, also called Central Thai, is the lingua franca for the majority of the Thai population, while various dialects such as Lao or Isan are mutually intelligible.

Overall, the positive response to Thai traditional medicine is a good sign for future development in the health sector. The department's commitment to traditional Thai medicine could soon lead to greater reliance on Thai healing methods in the West, which is not least important for the entire wellness industry.
