Kidney is the foundation of congenital disease
The kidney governs the storage of essence, which is the material basis for the growth and development of the human body and the defense of diseases and pathogens. The kidney sends and stores the fire of the vital gate, which is the viscera of the Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang. Therefore, it is known as the "viscera of water and fire" and the "house of Yin and Yang". The kidney is the foundation of birth and the root of life, which can regulate bone and marrow, nourish the brain, nourish intelligence, and generate hair and ears. With strong kidney qi, a person is energetic, with strong bones, bright ears, clear mind, and dark hair; Once the kidney qi decays, it can lead to dementia, deafness, brittle bones, shaking teeth, early whitening of beard and hair, and premature aging. Therefore, to cultivate a good kidney is to cultivate a good congenital condition, and to be able to nourish the kidney is to maintain health.>> What to Eat?

Take 20-30 grams of Chinese wolfberry, brew with boiling water, cover and simmer for 10-20 minutes before drinking. Soak two or three times before eating the Chinese wolfberry.

According to "Materia Medica Renewal", ginkgo "replenishes qi, nourishes the heart, benefits the kidney, and nourishes yin.". Ginkgo biloba is often used as a food for treating spermatorrhea in the folk. As stated in "Shandong Traditional Chinese Medicine", "Ginkgo is used to treat ejaculation and enuresis." According to the "Hunan Medical Records", "Treating Dream Relieving: Take three grains of Ginkgo biloba, cook it in wine, and eat it continuously for four to five days." Professor Ye Juquan of China Pharmaceutical University has two experiences.

It is better to eat it.". As Li Shizhen, a medical expert in the Ming Dynasty, said, "Lotus flesh purifies the heart and solidifies the essence, calms the upper and lower monarchs and promotes fire and evil, making the heart and kidney mutually beneficial." The so-called "monarch phase fire and evil" refers to the heart fire and kidney fire, when the heart and kidney are not mutually beneficial. It is also said in the "Yu Ju Yao Jie" that "lotus seeds are sweet and smooth, which is very beneficial to the spleen and stomach, while the astringent nature is most suitable for a family with smooth discharge. The semen is loose, which is very effective." Wang Mengying, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, also pointed out that "the coke has been consolidated, and the semen has been discharged. You can grind and use flour as cakes or cook the same rice as Congee rice to strengthen the spleen and kidney, which is quite remarkable."

Meng Shen, a food doctor in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "Chinese yam benefits the husband and helps strengthen yin." According to the "Japanese Herbal Medicine of Various Families", "Chinese yam helps the five internal organs, and is responsible for releasing essence and forgetfulness." The "Materia Medica Seeks Truth" also states, "Chinese yam is originally a food, and its astringency can cure ejaculation." If it can be taken together with other kidney reinforcing and essence strengthening foods, such as gorgon fruit, lotus seeds, etc., it has better efficacy.
8. Euryale fruit

Wu Yiluo also said in "Materia Medica Revitalization", "The fruit of Euryale is used to nourish the spleen and kidney, assist qi and astringent essence, and treat dreamy and premature ejaculation." In ancient times, many famous prescriptions for treating premature ejaculation caused by ejaculation, such as Jinsuo Gujing Pill, Yusuo Pill, and Shuilu Erxian Pill, were developed based on the fruit of Euryale, combined with lotus whiskers, dragon bones, or cherry blossoms. The experience of "New Edition of Materia Medica" is: "Euryale fruit is not particularly beneficial to the essence, and can astringent the essence and tonify the kidney. It is used together with yams, each serving as a powder, and is taken daily with rice."
