    Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a serious medical and social problem seen in 10-52% of men between the ages of 40-70. Despite the developments in pharmacotherapy, the unpleasant side effects of this group of drugs, the low success rate after diabetes, radical prostatectomy, radical cystoprostatectomy, radical pelvic surgery, and their contraindication especially in certain diseases limit the treatment. In addition to these limitations, alternative treatment methods are on the agenda due to the non-curative nature of the pharmacological treatment method and the high costs. Natural herbal products have been a source of new therapeutic agents indispensable for the treatment of many diseases since the birth of medicine. Studies show that various herbs have a potential effect on erectile dysfunction, supporting traditional claims and offering new hope. The increase in the number of studies and the emergence of their possible positive effects on ED have led to an increase in interest in traditionally used aphrodisiac plants. Hence, this paper review focuses on medicinal plants used as aphrodisiacs for scientific validation and management of erectile dysfunction (ED).
