Surprisingly Effective! Try Xixin Tea for ED Relief
If you're looking for a natural, daily approach to improving erectile dysfunction (ED), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers several simple yet time-tested remedies. One such remedy involves the use of *Xixin* (Asarum), a potent herb known for its warming effects and circulatory benefits. Here's a straightforward preparation that some have found remarkably effective.
How to Make and Use the Xixin Tea Remedy
Dosage: Use 5 grams of Xixin daily.
Preparation: Steep 5 grams of the dried herb in hot water to make one cup of tea. Drink the tea throughout the day. Refill the cup two more times using the same herbs—each refill counts as another "brew."
Frequency: Repeat this cycle daily. One course of treatment is defined as one month.
Clinical Results: Small Sample, Big Promise
In a reported case series involving 25 individuals, all participants experienced a notable improvement in their ED symptoms after one month of consistent use. The total effectiveness rate was 100%, with most reporting full recovery after finishing the one-month course.
Important Safety Note: Xixin (Asarum) contains compounds that may be toxic in high doses or with long-term use. Always consult a qualified TCM practitioner before starting herbal treatments. Limit use to the recommended dosage and duration.
Why It Might Work: Stimulating Circulation and "Warming the Kidney"
From a modern perspective, Xixin's active components may support vascular circulation and stress reduction. In TCM theory, it helps "dispel cold" and "warm the kidney," which are often connected to improved sexual function. Though we translate these ideas loosely into Western terms, recent studies support the herb’s potential to enhance microcirculation and neurological function (PMID:
22105893).
Use With Caution: Respect the Power of Herbs
Be cautious not to exceed the dosage or use for extended periods. Xixin has been historically known to contain aristolochic acid, a compound that poses risks to kidneys if misused. Source herbs responsibly, and never use products that do not clearly state safety and processing methods (PMID:
16141518). Further, avoid use if you're on blood thinners or suffer from chronic kidney conditions without medical advice.
Good to Know!
Classic TCM texts like the *Huang Di Nei Jing* ("The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon") emphasize the importance of treating both the root (cold and kidney deficiency) and the symptom (ED). Remedies like Xixin tea are used for the former, aiming at long-term functional improvement rather than a quick fix (PMID:
33296341).

✔️
3-Second Self Test: Are your hands and feet often cold, even in warm weather? That may signal internal cold affecting circulation.

30-Second Fix: Brew a single small cup of Xixin tea (5g herb in hot water). Sip slowly, especially in the morning. Stop after 1 cup if you notice irregular heartbeat or dizziness.

If it helps (better energy, warmer limbs, improved function) → keep using it for 1 month, max. If not → talk to a licensed TCM provider immediately.
