Introduction~ Excessive desire, strong cravings, deficiency of Yin fluids, and inability to maintain essence can be resolved by nourishing Yin to alleviate internal heat and restore tranquility.
Dear Doctor, why do I always feel such strong sexual urges? I feel increasingly weak, yet my cravings grow stronger. I have tried to abstain from sexual activities but cannot persist, and during this period, I frequently experience nocturnal emissions, which frustrates me greatly. My family has given me ginseng and other supplements, but they only make me feel more uncomfortable and restless. If this continues, I will surely be ruined and unable to find a partner. How can I find peace? How can I completely abstain from sexual activities? Mr. Ma from Hunan said.
For many who have damaged their essence, although their bodies are weak, some supplements can actually worsen their condition, leading to further deficiency. Particularly, ginseng, which is very warming and spicy, can cause feelings of heat and restlessness, dry mouth, and even nosebleeds, along with increased nocturnal emissions, and in severe cases, persistent erections.
Upon further examination, his tongue was red, especially at the tip, and his entire mouth was also red. He experienced constipation and dry stools, and his urine was yellow and painful. The most unbearable symptom was his inability to sleep at night, feeling particularly agitated, which severely affected his rest. His pulse was wiry and rapid, leading to a diagnosis of deficiency of Yin fluids and inability to maintain essence. For this condition, a formula of Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena), Huang Bai (Phellodendron), Sheng Di (Rehmannia), Shan Yao (Chinese Yam), Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus), Fu Ling (Poria), Ze Xie (Alisma), Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula), Dan Pi (Moutan), and Da Huang (Rhubarb) can be used. Decoction should be taken three times a day, advising him to maintain a calm mind and abstain from sexual activities. After some time, he reported a disappearance of the feeling of heat and a reduction in nocturnal emissions. Continuing with Jin Ying Zi (Cornus) can enhance essence retention, and after a while, nocturnal emissions ceased.
Now, let’s analyze why this friend frequently experiences nocturnal emissions and has such strong sexual urges. The root cause is excessive damage to essence leading to significant depletion of Yin fluids, which in turn causes the Yang fire to become erratic. This erratic Yang fire not only leads to nocturnal emissions but also to premature ejaculation. This fire is a type of empty fire, which can only be extinguished by nourishing kidney water. However, using ginseng in this case only adds fuel to the fire, causing the heat to rise, resulting in irritability and sleepless nights. It’s not that ginseng is bad; it’s just not suitable for this condition. Therefore, it is necessary to clear the empty fire while also nourishing kidney water, hence the use of modified Zhi Bai Di Huang Tang (Anemarrhena, Phellodendron, and Rehmannia Decoction).
Many friends ask what good methods exist to help them find peace and abstain from sexual activities. Besides symptomatic recovery, the following points can be practiced in daily life.
First, enrich your life. Do not spend every day idly, lost in thoughts, nor dwell in illness. Only by enriching your life can you avoid wandering thoughts. Many people think that being sick means complete rest, but this approach is not advisable. Living life while treating illness is not contradictory; focus on life, and after a few months, significant improvements will occur.
Second, maintain a calm mind and practice abstinence. Only by controlling your desires can you preserve essence; otherwise, any stirrings of desire can lead to sensitivity and emissions. This abstinence does not mean you must become a monk; it can be a natural process.
Third, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy, spicy, and sweet foods, as well as excessive meat. Eating overly rich and greasy foods can lead to excessive heat in the essence, resulting in continuous emissions.
In fact, for men with weakness leading to impotence or emissions, if treated symptomatically, recovery can be quite rapid, as the body has a natural ability to heal itself. A little nourishment can yield significant results, and often, if the treatment is appropriate, one formula can resolve the issue completely.
