Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is actually very common for men over 40. At the age 40, around 40% of men experience ED and this increases with age. If you’re in your 30s to early 40s, ED is usually caused by stress – whether it’s from work, financially or other factors. Medications are used to treat ED in western medicine, and it takes little time to see its effect. Though western medicine may treat the symptom, in this case, it cannot help to increase one’s libido.

中医方法

在中医药(TCM)中,它专注于问题的核心。根据中医 中医, what’s causing ED or low libido does not lie in the problem of the genitals; it’s actually due to weak kidneys! In western medicine, we know the kidney as the organ that is responsible for filtering and removing waste from the body. 

However in TCM, the kidney is the organ that affects the balance of your Yin and Yang – which includes your libido as well! If the kidney is weak, it can affect your overall health. Therefore, to treat ED and increase your libido, kidney is the key organ to nourish.

Before you start searching for foods which can help to nourish your kidneys and consume them, it’s important to identify if you are suffering from Kidney Yin deficiency or Kidney Yang deficiency. Kidney Yin and Kidney Yang have to be in equilibrium for good health. Therefore, you should nourish your kidney with foods that specifically support the one you’re lacking in. 

判断肾脏阴虚或肾阳虚的方法如下:

肾阴不足 –头晕,耳鸣,听力障碍,口干和咽干,便秘,手掌发烫,膝盖和下背部酸痛无力。 

肾阳虚 –四肢发冷,面色苍白,排尿困难和反感。 

如果您无法确定自己是否患有肾阴虚或肾阳虚,请前往最近的中医诊所,并咨询其中医认证医生。
