Editor's note: A wonderful sex life is a gift from heaven. However, with the interference of age, physical problems, external factors, diseases and other conditions, we have gone further and further on the way of "sex", and even formed a burden. Some people think that taking tonic medicine is good, but the question is whether you really need it? In fact, the problem of sexual function is not only "kidney deficiency", but also the decline of the whole body function, the blockage of meridians and collaterals, and the insufficiency of qi and blood function. Now let's let experts explain how to scientifically nourish sex for us.
Three major meridian problems affect sexual function

Inadequate endowment, or early marriage and childbearing, excessive labor in the room, damage kidney qi, deficiency of kidney essence, decline of life gate, and exhaustion of the source of sexual desire, so do not think about sex.

Over time, you will have low libido. Emotional disorders and stagnation of liver qi, on the one hand, affect the blood storage function of the liver, leading to liver blood deficiency; On the other hand, it causes psychological pressure, and the two aspects interact to cause low libido, depression, irritability, chest tightness, breast and rib pain, menstrual abdominal pain, etc.
Deficiency of qi and blood in the heart and spleen meridian, deficiency of both heart and spleen, and loss of mental health
The heart governs blood, the spleen regulates blood, and the spleen is the source of Qi and blood biochemistry. Due to excessive thinking, it consumes heart and blood, and affects the function of the spleen, the spleen is damaged, resulting in deficiency of both heart and spleen, deficiency of qi and blood, and loss of mental health, resulting in low libido. Qi and blood cannot reach the limbs and muscles, so the limbs are tired and the body is thin; Qi and blood can not rise above the face, so the face is pale yellow or withered; Deficiency of qi and blood, deficiency of qi and blood, and decline of viscera function lead to mental fatigue and lack of qi and lazy speech.
