Phytochemicals are generally the compounds that can be extracted from different plant parts. Whether the plant organ is edible or not, there exists several chemicals in these roots, leaves, stems or fruits that may be of use in pharmacology and in the pharmaceutical industry as a whole. Some of these phytochemicals have well-known chemical properties and have been manufactured synthetically. Some other botanical components  have been harvested from the plants themselves and used as is as decoctions, powders or dried herbs.

Herbal Blue Pill is the popular term for medicines that exhibit similar effects as the popular drug, sildenafil, but with one striking difference; the herbal drug contains pharmacological elements from medicinal plants that have been proven to improve sexual behavior and potency in humans (under traditional medicine and ethnobotanical systems) and in animals (in laboratory studies).

The phytochemicals contained in herbal blue pills include extract elements from Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), damiana plant (Turnera diffusa), guarana seed (Paullinia cupana var. sorbilis), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) and others. Siberian ginseng has been used traditionally as a performance enhancer, while damiana has been used as a libido booster. Saw palmetto is an inhibitor of testosterone breakdown, while guarana is used by Amazonians as an aphrodisiac.

Medicinal plants have been present for ages, and most of these have been used by traditional people who did not have the resources to make the wonders of these drugs known to the public. With modern technology and media, more and more people are getting to know the benefits of using these herbal components, and the drugs developed using these phytochemicals.
