Surprisingly Effective Natural Remedy for Erectile Dysfunction
Traditional Chinese medicine offers many natural remedies, and one age-old recipe known as "Er Dong Er Di Jiu" (Two Winters and Two Earths Wine) has shown promise in supporting men struggling with erectile dysfunction (ED), especially those experiencing kidney deficiency—a common diagnosis in TCM for fatigue, decreased libido, and weak performance. This powerful liquid tonic is especially recommended for middle-aged men with ED and older individuals facing physical fatigue and mental fog.
What’s in the Recipe? A Powerful Herbal Lineup
This therapeutic wine is formulated from a blend of over 20 herbs, carefully selected to restore vitality and tonify the body. Here's the ingredient list with their quantities:
Ingredients:
- *Cuscuta (Tu Si Zi)* and *Cistanche (Rou Cong Rong)* – 120g each
- *Asparagus Root (Tian Men Dong)*, *Ophiopogon Root (Mai Men Dong)*, *Raw Rehmannia (Sheng Di)*, *Prepared Rehmannia (Shu Di)*, *Chinese Yam (Shan Yao)*, *Achyranthes (Niu Xi)*, *Eucommia (Du Zhong, stir-fried with ginger juice)*, *Morinda Root (Ba Ji Tian, core removed)*, *Goji Berry*, *Cornelian Cherry (Shan Zhu Yu)*, *Ginseng*, *Poria (Bai Fu Ling)*, *Schisandra (Wu Wei Zi)*, *Costus Root (Mu Xiang)*, *Arborvitae Seed (Bai Zi Ren)* – 60g each
- *Raspberry (Fu Pen Zi)*, *Plantago Seed (Che Qian Zi)*, *Lycium Bark (Di Gu Pi)* – 45g each
- *Sweet Flag (Shi Chang Pu)*, *Sichuan Pepper (Chuan Jiao)*, *Polygala (Yuan Zhi Meat)*, *Alisma (Ze Xie)* – 30g each
Reminder: Morinda root (Ba Ji Tian) should have the core removed, and Ginkgo (if added) should have the embryo removed due to mild toxicity. Do not consume excessively or over long periods.
How to Prepare the Herbal Tonic
Crush all the herbs coarsely. Wrap them in a clean piece of white cotton cloth (like summer white cloth), place the bundle in a glass or ceramic container, and add 3 kilograms of good-quality liquor or rice wine. Let it steep for 7–12 days in a cool, dry place before consumption.
How to Use It Safely and Effectively
Take one small shot glass (about 15ml) twice a day—preferably on an empty stomach in the morning and before dinner. Consistency is crucial; effects typically emerge after a few weeks of daily consumption, supporting stamina, libido, and clearer thinking in older users.
Why This Formula Works: Ancient TCM Meets Modern Understanding
The formula primarily focuses on nourishing kidney essence (jing) and blood, concepts closely tied to sexual health in TCM. The ingredients promote better circulation, hormone balance, and mental clarity—not just a temporary libido booster.
This remedy also supports weakened conditions in older adults, including blurry vision, poor memory, and fatigue due to kidney qi deficiency, as documented in *Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic)*.
Safety Note: While this is a natural remedy, it’s alcohol-based. Those sensitive to alcohol or with liver-related issues should consult a healthcare provider before use.
