Many male comrades have very strong desires when they are young, but they don't know how to exercise restraint. Through frequent overindulgence, the body becomes severely overextended, leaving very little kidney essence remaining. When it comes to the critical moment, the body "drops the chain" and fails to perform.

Today, I want to share a practical small formula with you. By boiling these five herbs in water, you can fully replenish your kidney essence. These five herbs are Cuscuta seed (Tu Si Zi), Eucommia bark (Du Zhong), Polygonatum (Huang Jing), Goji berries (Gou Qi), and Deer Antler (Lu Rong). They are all experts at nourishing kidney essence and can gradually restore the essence that has been excessively depleted.

Let's start with Goji berries. Not only can they nourish Yin, but when paired with Deer Antler Velvet, the results are truly unexpected. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is said that Kidney Essence transforms into Kidney Qi, which is further divided into Yin and Yang. Therefore, once Kidney Essence is depleted, both Kidney Yin and Kidney Yang are affected. Goji berries nourish Yin while Deer Antler Velvet supplements Yang; together, they complement each other to restore both Kidney Yin and Yang.

Next is Eucommia Bark (Du Zhong), which is excellent for strengthening tendons and bones. Many people with Kidney Essence deficiency experience weakness and soreness in the waist and knees, and Eucommia can improve these symptoms. Then there are Polygonatum (Huang Jing) and Cuscuta Seed (Tu Si Zi); they can warmly supplement Kidney Yang, consolidate essence, and stop leakage. They enhance the "locking" ability of the essence gate, keeping the essence firmly secured within the kidneys so it doesn't escape easily.

The entire formula focuses primarily on replenishing Kidney Essence. However, everyone's situation is different—some lean toward Kidney Yang deficiency, while others lean toward Kidney Yin deficiency. For those with a specific bias toward Yang or Yin, we must increase the dosage of the corresponding tonic herbs to achieve the desired effect.

So, for men facing similar issues, you might want to try this small formula to replenish your Kidney Essence and get your body back on track. However, if the situation is severe, you must seek medical attention promptly rather than trying to fix it yourself.

Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment—different symptoms require different formulas to cure the illness.
