Can you really keep fit without being close to women? TCM: This may be a big joke.

Let me tell you a story at the beginning, starting with a famous minister in the Song Dynasty.

This official, his name is Bao Hui.

He was a scholar in Jiading, worked as a county, and finally got a bachelor's degree in government affairs, and was named Hou of Nancheng. His greatest feature is that his official career is getting better and better with his age. So that at the age of 86, he still held a position in the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at this "hardcore" official, many colleagues are very interested in his health care methods. So, one day, Prime Minister Jia Sidao asked Bao Hui why he lived so long. Who knows, this bag didn't even think about it, saying, "I have been taking lonely sleeping pills for 50 years." As soon as the voice fell, everyone laughed.

Boy, it turns out that people have not been close to women for half a century.

Whether this story is true or not, it does reflect the concepts of "abstinence for health" and "abstinence for health" in ancient China.

From these points of view, staying away from women is really a magic weapon for health.

In fact, is this really the case? Not necessarily. Even Confucius once said: "Eating color is also sex". work

For the basis of human reproduction, the attraction between the sexes is completely normal. It is natural for men to love women. Too strict and harsh pursuit of "inaccessible women" is obviously contrary to the natural attributes of human beings.

What's more, it is really "not close to women", which may be a reaction to illness.

Yes, it is disease.

What kind of disease is this? From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, this is the low sexual desire of men.

Do men also have low libido? Yes

So what is a man's low libido? It means that men's desire for sexual activities is intermittently or continuously reduced or even completely disappeared under effective stimulation. In other words, people are "not interested" anyway. Why is this happening? This is complicated to say. There are functional reasons, such as mental depression and marital disharmony, as well as organic factors, such as geological neurological disorders and endocrine disorders. Long-term use of certain drugs or the long-term effects of certain chronic diseases may lead to low sexual desire.

Today, I am here to talk to you about one of the causes and pathogenesis, not just stagnation of liver qi.

What's going on here? It's simple. As we all know, the liver meridian circulates along the abdomen and surrounds the vulva. If there is something wrong with the qi and blood of the liver meridian, and the tendons and veins are not nourished, sexual function will be impaired. Why is the blood circulation of liver meridian not smooth? One of the main reasons is the patient's long-term melancholy thinking, mental depression and unsatisfied wishes. In other words, I am in a bad mood, depressed and always worried. This mentality makes the liver qi stagnate, which will inevitably lead to long-term illness. This is one of the reasons. The other, the most important-the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, and wood can make a fire. The liver is the mother organ and the heart is the child organ. If the liver is depressed and qi is stagnant and qi and blood are not glorious, then the mother's illness and children will inevitably lead to heart-qi imbalance. When the heart fire is suppressed, the kidney fire cannot be triggered. How can there be a saying of "sexual interest"?

Therefore, this matter of liver depression can easily lead to indifference. It is precisely because of this that you see those men around us, if their work is not smooth, their careers are unsuccessful, their families are not harmonious, and their marriage relationship is not harmonious, most of them may be in a state of "abandonment" in their husband and wife life. Clinically, most men with low libido bear heavy mental burden and life pressure, or are emotionally traumatized. For such people, liver depression is an inevitable problem.

In that case, we need to adjust the liver. How to adjust it? Today, I will introduce you to an experienced recipe that I often use. The formula is as follows: Bupleurum chinense, vinegar-roasted tangerine peel, Cyperus rotundus, fried Fructus Aurantii, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Rhizoma Chuanxiong and roasted Radix Glycyrrhizae.

This group of prescriptions is used to soothe the liver and relieve depression. Among them, Bupleurum is bitter and slightly cold, belonging to the liver and gallbladder meridian, and its function is to reconcile exterior and interior, soothe the liver and relieve depression. As a monarch drug, its main function is to soothe the liver and relieve depression. Beside, there are many helpers. For example, Cyperus rotundus is pungent, slightly bitter, slightly sweet, flat in nature, and enters the liver, spleen and triple energizer meridians, and is good at qi stagnation. There are also bitter orange and dried tangerine peel, all of which have the function of promoting qi. Together, they help Bupleurum to soothe the liver and relieve depression.

However, soothing the liver alone is not enough. We must soften the liver. Liver governs storing blood. When we nourish liver blood, it will soften the liver. This is very important for restoring liver qi and restoring the qi and blood of liver meridian to normal. How to soften the liver? Radix Paeoniae Alba, Rhizoma Chuanxiong and Radix Glycyrrhizae are used. Among them, Paeonia lactiflora is bitter, sour and slightly cold, belonging to the liver and spleen meridian, which can nourish blood, soften liver and astringe yin. Licorice is sweet. Licorice and peony. Can better nourish the liver and yin. Chuanxiong, activating qi and blood circulation, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis while activating liver qi. In this way, the liver will soften again. The problem of liver depression is solved, the liver qi is unblocked, the liver blood is nourished, the liver depression and qi stagnation are solved, and the "sexual interest" naturally comes back.

All right. The above is the experience of traditional Chinese medicine in treating male hyposexuality. In a word, we should know that men's low sexual desire and inability to fulfill their responsibilities as husbands are often due to depression of the liver caused by mood and stress. Knowing this is very important for us to improve our physical condition and enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
