Patient's question:
Male, 25 years old. Recently, due to the company being very busy and the urgency to have children, he might be extremely tense emotionally. Suddenly, he found that he seemed to lack energy during sexual activity, sometimes unable to get an erection at all. He is really suffering from this issue. Please ask: What is the best method to tonify the kidneys and enhance Yang?Doctor's answer:
Methods for tonifying the kidneys and invigorating yang are generally divided into pharmaceutical treatment, physical therapy, and dietary therapy. In pharmaceutical treatment, common examples include Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Kidney Invigorating Pills), You Gui Wan (Right Regulating Pills), and some common kidney-tonifying medications available in the market, most of which are based on the principle of tonifying the kidneys and warming yang. Physical therapy includes treatments such as warm acupuncture on meridian points, cupping, and microwave therapy. Dietary therapy includes foods like pigeon, beef and mutton, chives, and shellfish, which generally have the effect of warming the kidneys and invigorating yang.
