Qi and blood are the basic substances that make up the human body. The vital activities of the human body depend entirely on the functional activities of the internal organs, and the normal activities of the internal organs rely on essence, qi, blood, etc. as the material basis. Deer antler is good at improving essence, and strong essence can transform into qi and produce blood. From the many effective prescriptions of the ancients for treating deficiency of qi and blood, such as Xiangrong Pills, Ronggui Baibu Pills, Shenrong Guben Pills, Butian Dazao Pills, etc., it can be seen that deer antler is very effective in replenishing qi and producing blood. Modern medicine has confirmed that deer antler can promote the proliferation, development and maturation of blood cells, and increase the red blood cells, hemoglobin and reticulocytes of normal rabbits. It is clinically used to treat aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia and leukocytopenia, and blood diseases caused by benzene poisoning. It can improve the patient's dizziness, headache, fatigue, gingival bleeding, epistaxis, insomnia and other symptoms as well as blood count. At the same time, it can also treat anemia caused by blood loss. 2. The medicinal effect of deer antler is warming the kidney and strengthening yang. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney stores essence and produces marrow, and is the origin of human growth, development and reproduction. If the kidney yang is weak, symptoms such as mental fatigue, cold body and limbs, back pain, impotence, spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, and infertility may occur. Throughout the ages, deer antler has always been regarded as a superior product for replenishing essence and marrow, warming the kidney and assisting yang, and is very effective in warming the kidney and strengthening yang. Chinese patent medicines for treating sexual dysfunction, such as Sanbian Pills, Quanlu Pills, Shenrong Weisheng Pills, etc., always involve deer antler.

In modern clinical practice, deer antler is often used in combination with kidney-tonifying drugs such as Epimedium, Curculigo, Morinda officinalis, and Cornus officinalis to complement each other and enhance the therapeutic effect. It is reported that using deer antler preparations to treat sexual dysfunctions such as impotence, spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation in patients with kidney yang deficiency, or using deer antler essence for acupoint injection treatment, can achieve satisfactory results. Pharmacologists have discovered through animal experiments that deer antler can prolong the estrus period of mice, thus proving the ingenuity of the use of medicine by our ancestors. 3. Many scholars believe that deer antler has a specific effect on the cardiovascular system and myocardium, restoring its abnormal functions to normal and achieving the effect of strengthening the heart and restoring the pulse. Experiments have shown that a moderate dose of deer antler preparations can increase coronary blood flow, enhance cardiac contractility, accelerate heart rate, increase cardiac contraction amplitude, increase cardiac output and output per minute, eliminate myocardial fatigue, improve fatigued or weakened myocardial activity, and achieve the purpose of strengthening the heart. It can also improve systemic circulation, enhance the body's various activity functions and tolerance. Clinically, deer antler preparations are often used to treat heart failure caused by various reasons, especially rheumatic heart disease accompanied by palpitations, low back pain, oliguria, etc., as well as for hypotension and other chronic circulatory disorders. They have the effects of strengthening the heart, raising blood pressure and benefiting the brain.

Through a large number of clinical experiments, foreign scholars have found that intramuscular injection of deer antler essence into patients with traumatic injuries has a significant effect on healing injuries and eliminating symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, joint pain, tinnitus, deafness, numbness of the limbs, insomnia and fatigue.
