Can eating leeks improve sexual performance?

I believe that everyone is very interested in the topic of impotence, because most men now stay in the office for a long time and have no time for activities. Over time, various problems will occur in the body, such as kidney deficiency, back pain, leg pain, and even physical fatigue and lack of strength during sexual life. Therefore, impotence is a must, and impotence can be relieved through food. Leek is a very common aphrodisiac food. Leek has the effect of warming the middle and lowering qi, nourishing the kidney and benefiting yang. Therefore, leek leaves, leek seeds, and leek flowers can be used as medicine. They can be used for stir-frying or making soup. They can all play the role of strengthening yang, regulating kidney deficiency, and restoring the body. Although leeks are delicious, they are also not easy to digest. Try to eat less leeks at night, and pay attention to exercising more after eating.

Can leeks enhance male sexual function?

Leek is a vegetable native to my country. In the Book of Songs, there is a line that goes "On the fourth day of the lunar month, offer lambs and leeks as sacrifices." The ancients at that time already used leeks as the best for priests. In traditional Chinese medicine, leeks have a very resounding name called "yang-strengthening grass." Some people also call leeks bowel-cleansing grass, grass stalactite, yang-raising grass, and longevity grass, also known as flat vegetables.

So can leek improve male sexual function? Experts say that leek has the effects of warming the middle and lowering the Qi, nourishing the kidney and strengthening the Yang. The leaves, seeds and roots of leek can all be used as medicine. It can be used to treat impotence, spermatorrhea, back and knee pain, abdominal coldness and pain, stomach deficiency and coldness, indigestion and nausea.

The Compendium of Materia Medica records that the effects of leek are: "The raw juice can cure shortness of breath, wheezing, and detoxify dried meat. Drinking the boiled juice can stop coughing and sweating. The leek seeds nourish the liver and the gate of life, and treat frequent urination and inurination." Although the urinary system, a neighbor of the reproductive system, is mentioned, there is no content related to male function.

In the "Bencao Shiyi", there is a record that "warms the middle, lowers qi, replenishes deficiency, harmonizes the internal organs, makes people able to eat, benefits yang, stops diarrhea, acetabular abscesses, cold and pain in the abdomen, and can be cooked and eaten". The term "benefiting yang" is regarded as an important basis for leek to strengthen yang. However, it is a bit far-fetched to interpret this "yang" as male function. In this way, leek to strengthen yang is more like a modern version of the health legend.

Therefore, the saying that "leek can enhance male potency" does not have much scientific basis. As for the legend of enhancing male potency, just treat it as a wonderful psychological comfort agent. When applying it specifically, you can decide how much to eat according to your personal nutritional needs, and don't blindly copy it.
