If you always feel "powerless" in your intimate life and the hardness just isn't keeping up, you need to read this article carefully! In my clinic, I encounter many men worrying about this issue. In fact, male hardness has a professional medical grading system consisting of four levels. Let me explain it to you in plain language:

Level 1 hardness is as soft as tofu; it simply won't "perk up" at all, leaving you willing but unable to perform;

Grade 2 hardness: there is a reaction with stimulation, but it feels like being underfed—lacking strength throughout the body, making the process incredibly awkward;

Grade 3 hardness: like a peeled banana, barely functional but far from the ideal state;

Grade 4 hardness is the "King Level"—firm, long-lasting, and at peak performance!

If you are always stuck at Grade 1 or 2, don't panic! Today, I’m sharing two very down-to-earth herbs that are cheap and easy to find—you might even get them at the pharmacy right outside your door: Xianlingpi (Epimedium) and Cijili (Tribulus Terrestris)

Xianlingpi, scientifically known as Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed), is a "powerhouse" for tonifying the kidneys, as its name suggests! For those with insufficient kidney yang—who often experience soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, a tendency to break out in cold sweats, or lack of strength in the legs—this is exactly what you need. When paired with Morinda Root (Bajitian) and Dodder Seed (Tusizi), its effects in replenishing kidney qi and strengthening bones and muscles are doubled, effectively "recharging" your body!

Tribulus Terrestris (Cijili) focuses primarily on soothing the liver and relieving stagnation. Many people face high levels of stress and irritability; once the liver qi becomes blocked, issues in "that department" often arise. Tribulus acts like an "emotional mediator," clearing out blocked liver qi! When used alongside Bupleurum (Chaihu), Cyperus Rotundus (Xiangfu), and Turmeric Tuber (Yujin), it can smooth out liver qi, relieve bloating and pain, and resolve troubles like poor hardness or erectile dysfunction caused by liver qi stagnation.

These two herbs work in tandem—one tonifying kidney yang and the other soothing liver qi! Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment; different symptoms require different formulas to truly cure the ailment. If you have similar conditions, the first step is to examine the tongue coating. Send over a photo of your tongue along with your symptoms, and I will provide a free consultation to determine the general direction for your recovery.
