What does aphrodisiac mean?

Aphrodisiac is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. People with insufficient yang energy need to have aphrodisiac treatment. Men are very familiar with aphrodisiacs, but they only know what methods to use to enhance their sexual performance, but they don’t know the true definition of aphrodisiacs. Today, the editor will start from a medical perspective and explain in detail what the true meaning of aphrodisiac is, and share with you a wave of the most effective Chinese medicine diet therapy methods for aphrodisiac.

What is aphrodisiac

Aphrodisiac refers to improving a man's masculine aura through diet, medicine, acupuncture, massage, exercise and other means, in order to achieve the purpose of improving kidney yang, strengthening yang and body, improving sexual ability and enhancing sexual desire. Male aphrodisiac is a manifestation of men's pursuit of a higher quality of life. Aphrodisiac is different from premature ejaculation, impotence, etc. It is not a male sexual dysfunction. There are currently misunderstandings in this regard and it should be treated correctly. To enhance sexual performance, it is more important to increase exercise, eat a proper diet, and lead a healthy lifestyle. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that scarce sperm belongs to the category of deficiency and fatigue, which is mostly caused by insufficient congenital endowment, or excessive sexual intercourse that damages the kidney essence, or serious and long-term illness, deficiency of both Qi and blood, and lack of kidney essence, which ultimately leads to insufficient kidney essence and this disease. Therefore, kidney deficiency is the direct cause of scarce sperm.

Chinese medicine diet therapy

Medical experiments have found that there are many foods that have the effect of promoting sexual function and promoting sperm production and aiding fertility.

Seafood: Sea cucumbers, abalone, mussels and loaches are all effective sperm-enhancing foods. Fish, shrimp, shellfish and seaweed are rich in zinc, which is an important substance for the formation of testosterone and an indispensable element for the secretion of lubricating fluid by female reproductive organs. Therefore, eating seafood can increase sexual desire.

Animal kidneys: The kidneys of pigs, dogs, sheep, and cows all have the effect of nourishing kidney qi and benefiting the essence. For example, sheep kidneys are sweet and warm, which can replenish kidney qi; pig kidneys are salty and flat, which can help kidney qi and benefit the bladder; dog kidneys are better for enhancing sexual function; the testicles of some animals can cure impotence, spermatorrhea, and spermatorrhea.

Sea cucumber: nourishes the kidney, improves sperm quality, strengthens yang, and cures impotence. According to the "Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica", sea cucumber tastes sweet and salty, nourishes the kidney, benefits the essence and marrow, controls urination, strengthens the yang and cures impotence. It is warm and nourishing in nature, and is as good as ginseng, hence the name sea cucumber. Sea cucumber is rich in arginine and zinc, which have a good therapeutic effect on aphrodisiac.

Honey: It contains a plant hormone that is similar to the human pituitary hormone and has the function of activating the sex glands. The sugar in honey is also very beneficial to the formation of semen.

Eggs: Contain eight essential amino acids for the human body, which can strengthen the essence and energy, improve the quality of semen, and enhance sperm motility. They are also the best food for restoring physical strength after sex.

Kelp: It is very nutritious and contains iodine, iron, calcium, mannitol, carotene and other ingredients needed by the human body. Diet therapy experts say: In the cold winter, kelp can also keep out the cold and strengthen the libido. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, sea water is cold and cool in nature, and the kelp that grows there has a strong ability to resist cold. Kelp is salty in nature and tastes, and long-term consumption can warm and nourish the kidney qi. Therefore, eating kelp in winter can enhance the body's resistance to cold and aphrodisiac effects. In addition, people's fear of cold is related to the body's low intake of certain minerals. For example, the amount of calcium in the human body can directly affect the elasticity and excitability of the myocardium, blood vessels and muscles; iron deficiency in the blood is often manifested as low heat production and low body temperature. Therefore, supplementing with foods rich in calcium and iron can improve the body's ability to resist cold. Kelp is a treasure trove of calcium and iron for human beings. Every 100 grams of kelp contains up to 1177 mg of calcium and up to 150 mg of iron, so eating kelp in winter has important health benefits for children, women and the elderly.

Nuts: German doctors have discovered that nuts contain special substances that can affect the secretion of male hormones. Other foods that can enhance sexual function include oysters, donkey meat, mushrooms, mulberries, etc. Therefore, by scientifically taking in nutrients from the diet, the sexual function of men and women can be improved.
