In men, "softness" and "fatigue" mostly stem from issues with the spleen and stomach. Learn this one technique to nourish both the spleen and kidneys.
Today, let's talk about something that troubles many male friends—constantly feeling weak and easily fatigued. Actually, the main issues behind this often lie with two organs: the spleen and kidneys. However, many people, when faced with this situation, tend to focus solely on nourishing the kidneys and neglect the spleen and stomach. As a result, the effectiveness is naturally limited.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is often said that "all diseases originate from the spleen." The spleen and stomach play a crucial role in our bodies, much like the central kitchen in a home. Think about it—if the kitchen has issues, the meals prepared won't be very good either. If the spleen and stomach are weak, they lack the strength to generate Qi and Blood. As we all know, for the ancestral sinew (often referring to erectile function in TCM) to function properly, it relies on the spleen and stomach to transform adequate Qi and Blood for nourishment. If the spleen and stomach are weak, leading to insufficient Qi and Blood, the ancestral sinew cannot receive adequate nourishment and transformation, preventing it from being fully nourished, which naturally affects its firmness.
Moreover, for the ancestral tendon to become "erect," it requires both the stimulation of yang energy and the propulsion of qi and blood. If kidney yang is insufficient, qi and blood will "lack momentum," preventing the ancestral tendon from hardening, and symptoms such as frequent nighttime urination and sore, weak lower back and knees may appear. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized the connection between the spleen and kidneys, as kidney deficiency and spleen deficiency often occur together. Thus, the key to regulation naturally lies in supplementing both the spleen and kidneys.
Next, I’ll share an incredibly powerful prescription with everyone. This prescription is composed of Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Paeonia lactiflora, and Pinellia ternata. Let’s discuss the effects of each of these herbs one by one.
Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus are like adding a small engine to the body, specifically responsible for supplementing qi. Think of the body as a car; qi is the driving force that propels it forward. When qi is sufficient, the body becomes more energetic.
As for Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos, they are like two diligent little helpers, responsible for strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness. When the spleen and stomach function well, they can better transform and generate qi and blood, converting ingested food into the energy the body needs, thereby improving the efficiency of digestion and transportation.
White Peony acts like a traffic policeman in the body, responsible for harmonizing qi and blood, allowing them to flow smoothly without any congestion.
Pinellia and Alisma, on the other hand, are like skilled cleaners, specifically targeting phlegm-dampness and metabolic waste, clearing out these "impurities" from the body.
Chinese Angelica and Szechuan Lovage are like lubricants for the blood system, responsible for activating blood circulation and promoting smoother blood flow.
Rehmannia (Prepared) acts as a nutrient-rich supplement for the body, nourishing yin and blood, making essence and blood more abundant.
Achyranthes bidentata and Eucommia ulmoides act like reinforcing straps for the waist and knees, strengthening the lower back and tonifying the kidneys, making the waist and knees more powerful.
Additionally, Cynomorium songaricum and Cistanche deserticola are like two small stoves, specifically enhancing the vitality of kidney yang, replenishing the kidneys with renewed energy.
The entire formula works from the spleen to the kidneys, from qi to blood, and from yin to yang, comprehensively identifying and filling deficiencies. Each herb in the formula complements and works synergistically with the others, functioning like a super team that enhances the body’s functions in every aspect and resolves issues related to male performance.
If there are male friends around you experiencing such symptoms, you might want to remind them to address it from the perspective of nourishing both the spleen and kidneys—perhaps this could solve the problem!
