When women gather, their conversations often revolve around men, while men’s discussions frequently center on women. I have a close friend who, due to our strong bond, speaks freely, sometimes discussing topics related to sexual life. His wife pays great attention to her health in this regard, and although they are both nearing 50, their sexual life remains harmonious. He mentioned that his wife regularly consumes a homemade ointment, and after each intimate encounter, she always opens a small sachet of herbal medicine placed by the bedside. The aroma from this medicine is unique, and every time he inhales it, he sleeps soundly without nightmares.
I have seen his wife multiple times; she has an average appearance but exudes the charm of a mature woman, with rosy and fair skin, and no blemishes on her face. She speaks calmly and modestly. For a woman of this age to look so good is not merely due to makeup but rather the result of nourishing her body with medicine and vitality. After much persuasion, my friend finally revealed the secret to me.
The ointment his wife consumes daily is called “Yin-Yang Harmonizing Ointment,” with its main ingredient being Huang Jing (Polygonatum). Huang Jing is a herb that nourishes Yin and replenishes essence, specifically known for its ability to replenish “Yin essence,” particularly beneficial for women’s vitality and blood. When a woman’s Yin essence and blood are abundant, her feminine energy can be nourished, allowing her to remain vibrant even after middle age. According to the Ben Cao Feng Yuan, “Huang Jing broadens the middle, benefits Qi, harmonizes the five organs, strengthens muscles, and fortifies the marrow, all of which are functions of nourishing Yin.”
In addition to Huang Jing, there are two other herbs: Gui Xin (Cinnamon inner bark) and Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger). Gan Jiang is simply dried fresh ginger, while Gui Xin is the inner bark of cinnamon that has been scraped. Gui Xin can replenish fire, assist Yang, and warm the meridians and vessels. Replenishing fire means nourishing kidney fire and life gate fire, while warming the meridians and vessels means warming the entire body’s meridians and blood vessels. It is also one of the most effective herbs for enhancing breast fullness in women, and it can assist Yang, support Yang, and promote the release of estrogen.
Gan Jiang and cinnamon have similar effects, both being warming herbs that promote Yang. In this formula, Huang Jing represents Yin, while Gan Jiang and Gui Xin represent Yang, making the “Yin-Yang Harmonizing Ointment” a dual-replenishing remedy, which explains its excellent effects.
Making the “Yin-Yang Harmonizing Ointment” is quite simple: buy 500 grams of Huang Jing from a pharmacy and boil it in 1500 milliliters of water. Since the Huang Jing available in pharmacies is usually processed, it should be soaked for half an hour before boiling. Once it boils, simmer on low heat for another half hour, strain the residue, and add 50 grams of Gan Jiang powder and 20 grams of Gui Xin powder to complete the ointment. If the taste is not pleasant, a little honey can be added, and it can be stored in the refrigerator. Take one or two spoonfuls each morning and evening.
What about the small sachet? It contains Sha Ren (Amomum fruit). Do not confuse Sha Ren with a mineral; it is the mature fruit of the plant Amomum or Amomum villosum, primarily produced in Hainan and Guangdong. Many pharmacies sell Hainan Sha Ren, while the other variety is more expensive as it is sourced from Vietnam and other countries, but both have similar medicinal effects.
Sha Ren is warm and aromatic, and its unique scent can promote Qi and calm the uterus. This way, the Qi and blood in the uterus will not flow erratically after intimacy.
Buy about ten grams of Sha Ren from the pharmacy, have them crushed, and pack it in a sachet to place by the bedside for use.
We should not think that only men suffer from impotence or premature ejaculation; women can also experience coldness in the uterus or low libido. However, while there are specialized clinics for male impotence and premature ejaculation, there are few dedicated to treating women’s cold uterus or low libido, and historical texts rarely document effective prescriptions for women’s issues in this regard. In traditional Chinese feudal thought, cold uterus and low libido have even been seen as a manifestation of a woman’s adherence to the “proper role of a wife.” Who knows the silent suffering of women in this regard?
For this condition, most women are reluctant to discuss it, yet many experience cold limbs throughout the year. Therefore, whenever I encounter patients with cold limbs, I proactively ask if they have such issues. If they nod in acknowledgment, I teach them how to make the “Yin-Yang Harmonizing Ointment.”
Some women may experience facial peeling when they first start taking it, thinking they are allergic to the medicine. I assure them this is normal; when balancing Yin and Yang, one may experience a “new look after shedding the old skin.”
After a period of consumption, these friends find their faces rosy and their limbs warm, and their entire body’s meridians and Qi are nourished and revitalized. Moreover, many have even noticed that their breasts are firmer than before.
Additionally, I recommend that women who often stay up late also take the “Yin-Yang Harmonizing Ointment.” Staying up late depletes body fluids and injures Yin, leading to Yin deficiency, so the next day, they urgently need to nourish Yin to maintain health. The “Yin-Yang Harmonizing Ointment” provides dual nourishment of Yin and Yang, making it very beneficial.
Throughout a woman’s life, factors such as children, studies, work, and family can affect her physical and mental well-being, often leading to a lack of desire during intimate moments. As they age, the demand for intimacy may decrease, and over time, “use it or lose it” can affect marital relationships. At this point, women need not worry; using the nourishing and Yin-preserving treasure—”Yin-Yang Harmonizing Ointment” and Sha Ren powder can reignite passion, making life beautiful once again!
