Abstract

Tribulus Terrestris is used in Indian, Chinese, Bulgarian, and South African folk medicine to treat sexual dysfunction, oedemas, abdominal distention, and cardiovascular disorders. Tt has been shown to have antibacterial, antihypertensive, diuretic, antiacetylcholine, haemolytic, spermatogenesis, libido, and anticancer properties, as well as cardiovascular system effects.

Keywords: Tribulus Terrestris, South African, sexual dysfunction, antiacetylcholine
