When having problems with “men’s ability”, most men come up with the idea of using Western medicines or Oriental medicines to intensify the sexual ability, especially drugs of virility strengthening and kidney tonifying usually advertised as the miraculous remedies for treating all diseases, which are considered promising selections, etc. Believing in words of mouth or advertisements, patients are more likely to fall into subjectivity and use such tonics despite not be diagnosed whether being suffered “kidney asthenia” or not according to conceptions of Traditional medicine.
Most of the reasons causing the disorder of “the lower part of the body does not obey the upper” are psychological and sentimental elements (qing zhi yu jie) or licentious sexual activity (fang shi guo du). The libido is a natural instinct; thus, if we don’t moderate it, we are at high risk of the gradual deficiency of health in general and the gradual decrease of life quality. Sexual excitement makes the hyperactivity of vital gate fire (kidney fire) and the outbreak of monarch fire (heart fire). Both vital gate fire and monarch fire are motivated intensively in the excitement process and consume a plenty of primordial energy. If sexual intercourse or masturbation occur too frequently, the body don’t have enough time to revive, causing the exhaustion of yin vital essence and yang energy, and such illnesses as kidney asthenia and sexuality (like infertility, impotence, seminal emission, nortunal emission) or consumptive diseases (like skinny, anxiety, palpitations, dizziness, tinnitus, feeling hot in bone, weak memory, rapid aging, etc.)
Here in, the most common form of disease is Kidney yang asthenia or Both yin and yang asthenia (usually manifested as nortunal emission, impotence, vertigo, tinnitus, back fatigue, mental exhaustion, etc.). Therefore, the primary treating method is sexuality moderation, or at best abstaining from sexual activity in the time of therapy, having a healthy lifestyle, focusing on sports and excercises. The treatment method for this form of disease is based on the fundamental remedies Liuwei bushen yin and Bawei bushen yang – the 2 most important kidney tonifying remedies in Traditional medicine. According to the specific physical properties whether plenitude, asthenia, coldness or heat, the remedies can be modified. Another form of illness that is less common is Fire excess due to the yin asthenia (manifested as restless sleep, lots of dreams, seminal emission, dizziness, rapid heart rates, mental fatigue, etc.).
