Today, let's talk about some issues in sexual life. Many men feel that their strength in that area is insufficient, getting tired and weak after just a little movement, or being overly sensitive, often finishing too quickly. If you've experienced similar situations during sexual activity, then you'll definitely want to take note of this vitality water I'm sharing with you.

I've treated many such patients who, when they were young, didn't know how to exercise restraint, frequently engaged in self-gratification, and had excessive sexual activity. As they got older, they found themselves becoming overly sensitive, completely unable to control themselves, with durations so short it's pitiful, even less than a minute. At the same time, they often experience symptoms such as dampness in the scrotum, dry mouth with a bitter taste, burning sensation during urination, and yellow-colored urine.

From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, these symptoms are mostly attributed to what is called "damp-heat pouring downward." So, what exactly is damp-heat pouring downward? In simple terms, it refers to the dampness and heat within the body descending to the lower body, disrupting the normal functioning of the lower energizer (the body's lower region responsible for water metabolism, urinary and reproductive functions). It's akin to a clogged drain in a house: if the sewage can't drain away, unpleasant odors will rise back up. Similarly, when damp-heat pours downward in the body, it can lead to various health issues.

For this condition, a common remedy is to steep 3 to 5 Gardenia fruits (Fructus Gardeniae) in water for drinking. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gardenia is truly a treasure among medicinal herbs. It has a bitter taste and cold nature, making it effective in clearing heat, calming agitation, purging fire, and drying dampness. By clearing the damp-heat from the body, the function of the lower energizer can gradually return to normal. This makes it quite beneficial for regulating damp-heat-related functional decline.

However, everyone should take note: while drinking Gardenia-infused water can help with this condition, it should not be consumed indiscriminately. If you already have a spleen and stomach constitution that tends toward deficiency and coldness, frequently experiencing loose stools or diarrhea, it's best not to consume too much, as it could potentially exacerbate symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency-cold. If you're unsure about your own condition, it's always best to consult with a professional TCM practitioner for personalized advice and adjustments. I hope today's little shared method can be helpful to those who need it.
