Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sperm scarcity belongs to the category of asthenic labor, mostly due to insufficient innate endowment, or excessive atrial labor that impairs kidney essence, or serious and prolonged illness, with both qi and blood deficiency, and a lack of kidney essence and chemical sources, which ultimately leads to kidney essence deficiency and cost syndrome. Therefore, it is said that kidney deficiency is the direct cause of sperm scarcity.
However, the deficiency of the kidney also includes kidney qi, kidney yang, kidney yin, and other aspects. What aspect of deficiency can lead to sperm scarcity? The author has analyzed the semen of over 80 clinical patients with abnormal semen and concluded that low semen volume is mainly related to kidney yin deficiency, while low sperm volume is related to kidney qi, kidney yang, and kidney yin deficiency, and there is no significant difference between the deficiency of the three and the number of sperm. In practice, it has also been found that yang tonifying drugs mainly enhance sperm motility, while yin nourishing drugs can significantly increase sperm count. As Zhang Jingyue said, "Those who are good at tonifying Yang must seek Yang from within Yin, and then Yang will receive Yin assistance and generate infinite biochemistry. Those who are good at tonifying Yin must seek Yin from within Yang, and then Yin will receive Yang assistance and the spring will continue.". Therefore, regardless of the sperm count, as long as it is caused by kidney deficiency, it can be improved by using aphrodisiac foods. Here are some dietary remedies:
(1) 150g leek, 150g shrimp, 1kg egg, 50ml Baijiu (glutinous rice wine is better). Stir fried shrimps with leeks, eggs, with meals, drink Baijiu once a day, 10 days as a course of treatment. Suitable for those with kidney yang deficiency.
(2) An appropriate amount of sea cucumber, 100 grams of glutinous rice. First soak the sea cucumber, cut and wash it, slice and boil it thoroughly, then add glutinous rice, cook it into porridge, taste and take it. Suitable for those with renal sperm loss.
In addition, regular consumption of fish and shellfish such as eel, eel, shrimp, and chicken meat, as well as plant seed meat such as pine nuts, walnuts, sesame seeds, and isothermal supplements can also help sperm production.
For those with oligospermia due to yang deficiency, they can also eat animals' testicles, such as sheep's testicles. Naturally, they can also take deer antler with them, or add edible ants to warm yang and tonify the kidney, increase the zinc content in semen, and improve the quality and quantity of sperm.
