The Truth Behind Difficulty Maintaining Firmness: It’s Not About Boosting Yang, but Replenishing Both Qi and Blood
Today, I must have a real talk with everyone—many people believe that "difficulty maintaining firmness" means you need to aggressively boost your Yang energy. This is a huge mistake! What you truly need to replenish is your Qi and Blood!
Let me give you an analogy: the "Zong Jin" (ancestral sinew) in our body is like an electronic toy that needs charging; it relies on Qi and Blood for "power" to stand up. We often hear people talk about "strengthening Yang," but in reality, Yang energy is like the pump that "fuels" the Qi and Blood. If the fuel tank is empty (insufficient Qi and Blood), even the most powerful pump is useless. It’s just like filling a car with high-grade engine oil when the gas tank is bone dry—no matter how great the engine is, the car won't run, and your body simply won't have the strength to perform.
Many people focus solely on supplementing Yang, only to end up feeling even weaker. They often have a pale complexion, lack energy for any activity, and feel dizzy when standing up after squatting for a long time. Why? Because they aren't hitting the mark! If you want the "ancestral tendon" (Zong Jin) to be strong, the key lies in supplementing both Qi and Blood!
Today, I want to share a "treasure formula" passed down from our ancestors—Yu Ling Gao (Jade Spirit Paste). The recipe is incredibly simple, consisting of just two ingredients: longan aril and American ginseng, combined in a 10:1 ratio.
Longan aril is like a warm little sun; sweet and warm in nature, it specifically tonifies the heart and spleen, nourishes Qi and Blood, and helps soothe the nerves to improve insomnia. Whether it's dizziness or a lack of spirit, it can handle it. American ginseng, on the other hand, is like a cool little fan; its sweet and cold nature tonifies Qi and nourishes Yin, making it perfect for those with a dry mouth or those prone to "internal heat" (Shang Huo).
The pairing of these two herbs is a "golden combination." By neutralizing the warm with the cool, it neither causes excessive internal heat nor chills the stomach, making it suitable for most people. By consistently taking it for a period of time to fully replenish Qi and Blood, the "ancestral tendon" will be sufficiently nourished. Your physical state will naturally improve, and your intimate life can return to its peak
However, remember that everyone's constitution is different. If the situation is serious, it is best to consult a doctor first—don't try to fix it blindly on your own! Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment; different symptoms require different prescriptions to effectively cure the illness. If you have similar conditions, the first step is to examine your tongue. Send over a photo of your tongue coating along with your symptoms, and I will provide a free consultation to determine the general direction for your recovery.
