A successful man must have this Chinese herbal medicine at home

Recently, a new study from the University of Michigan pointed out that men's life expectancy is 6 years shorter than that of women. In fact, some Chinese herbal medicines can help men regulate their bodies and stay healthy.

Use Poria cocos and Imperata root to remove dampness and heat in adolescence

The most common problems among adolescent males are acne and getting irritated. A survey shows that 98% of men will suffer from acne during adolescence. At this time, the level of androgen secretion in men's bodies increases and sebum secretion is active. In addition, they are under great mental pressure during their school years and are prone to irregular lifestyles, making them more prone to acne and getting angry.

Acne is mostly caused by excessive heat in the lung meridian, or damp heat in the spleen and stomach. Therefore, Wang Chuanhang recommended two Chinese herbal medicines: Poria cocos and Imperata cylindrica. Poria has a mild nature and can play a diuretic, dehumidifying, and spleen-strengthening role without hurting the body's vital energy. You can soak 10 grams of it in water and drink it every day, or boil it in water with Poria cocos, Alisma orientalis, etc. Imperata root can clear heat from the lungs and stomach, and has the effects of cooling blood, clearing heat and promoting body fluid. It is recommended to soak it in water and drink it directly.

For middle-aged detoxification, use Pueraria root and white peony root

Middle-aged men aged 30-55 are under great pressure from work and life, are busy with social events, often stay up late and drink. If you do not pay attention to your health, it is easy to develop high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Wang Chuanhang first recommended Pueraria root, which has detoxification effects. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Pueraria root is cool in nature, flat in temperament, sweet in taste, and has the effects of clearing heat, reducing fire, and detoxifying. Modern medical research also shows that puerarin, an isoflavone compound in Pueraria root, has certain therapeutic effects on hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It can be decocted into a soup or mashed into juice and added to rice soup for consumption.

White peony root and bupleurum root both have the effect of soothing the liver. People who drink alcohol frequently can choose these two Chinese medicines to soak in water and drink them. They can also add bitter orange and licorice to boil water and drink it, which can harmonize qi and blood and allow yang energy to be released.

Cordyceps and Astragalus for kidney tonic in the elderly

As men age, they are more likely to experience symptoms such as kidney deficiency, low back pain, dizziness, and tinnitus caused by liver and kidney deficiency. Experts recommended some Chinese medicines for nourishing the kidneys. One is Cordyceps sinensis, Cornus officinalis, ginseng, Astragalus membranaceus, and yam, which have the effect of replenishing the essence of the kidneys.

Secondly, deer antler, eucommia bark, Chuanduan, mistletoe, etc. can warm the kidney yang, and have good effects in strengthening muscles and bones and relieving back pain. Third, cooked rehmannia, mulberry and wolfberry can nourish yin and kidney, clear away internal heat. These types of medicines can also be decocted in water or taken or soaked in water for drinking.
