Today I want to share a little secret of TCM health care with you. Did you know that sometimes us men can be underperforming in “that area,” for example not getting hard enough, or losing hardness during the act? This is most often due to insufficient kidney yang. Kidney yang is like the body’s “small furnace”; if the fire is weak, qi and blood won’t circulate, the ancestral sinews won’t be nourished, and naturally performance will be compromised.

Moreover, kidney yang deficiency can cause a host of other problems, such as low back pain, cold hands and feet, pale dull complexion—making the whole person look lethargic. If you have these troubles, pay attention: I have a simple, practical home remedy.

This formula was passed down from the medicine master Sun Simiao; it contains Cistanche (Rou Cong Rong), Schisandra (Wu Wei Zi), Cuscuta (Tu Si Zi), Polygala (Yuan Zhi) and Fructus Cnidii (She Chuang Zi). You put them together and boil them in water for about 20 minutes, then you can drink it. These herbs combined can warm the kidneys and strengthen yang, tonify the kidneys and secure the essence, making your "little furnace" burn hotter and making you stronger and more enduring in that department.

However, I must remind everyone that although this little formula is quite effective, you cannot rely on it alone. You should also pay attention to regular physical exercise and maintain a good mindset so that both internal and external cultivation are harmonized, and you can truly achieve "undefeated in prolonged combat". Alright, that's all for today — I hope this little formula can help friends in need.
