Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bulbine natalensis is a succulent plant native to South Africa, traditionally used in local medicine for a variety of purposes, including supporting male reproductive health. Historical use among Zulu and Xhosa populations involves preparations from the root or leaf, believed to enhance libido and treat sexual dysfunction in men. While there has been growing interest in Bulbine natalensis as a natural aphrodisiac and testosterone booster, the bulk of evidence supporting its use comes from ethnobotanical reports and anecdotal accounts rather than rigorous clinical trials. Some preliminary animal studies have suggested that extracts may influence testosterone levels and spermatogenesis, but these results are not yet substantiated by large-scale, peer-reviewed human studies. As such, while its use for reproductive support is rooted in traditional practice, scientific validation remains limited. Caution is also advised, as some studies indicate potential hepatotoxicity and other side effects at higher doses. Overall, the evidence is primarily traditional, with a moderate level of support from animal research but insufficient human data to rate it higher.
