Does leek improve sexual performance? Men should pay attention to this

According to authoritative experts, leeks have the effect of treating impotence and premature ejaculation, and can actually enhance male sexual performance. This is why many men particularly like to eat leeks. In addition, leeks have benefits that you can't imagine.

1. 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 benefiting 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.

2. 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.

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

4. In the "Bencao Shiyi", it is recorded that "it warms the middle, lowers qi, replenishes deficiency, harmonizes the viscera, makes people 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.

5. 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 own nutritional needs. Don't blindly copy it.
