Kidney deficiency? Sexual deficiency? Men should be careful about eating animal whips when taking supplements

"Tonify the kidneys, he is good and I am good too." Does this familiar advertising slogan make you smile ? In the minds of many men, kidney deficiency seems to be equivalent to "sexual deficiency". Men are animals with self-esteem, so "sexuality" cannot be deficient, and kidney tonification is imperative. Among the folk remedies for kidney tonification, making animal penis medicinal wine by yourself and drinking it every day is a major choice for men. Men with kidney deficiency are unwilling to explain embarrassing matters to doctors and seek help from doctors. Therefore, animal penises are very popular now.

However, Chinese medicine experts believe that men should not eat animal whips to supplement their sexual function. Different types of kidney deficiency should not be treated with animal whips to improve sexual function, otherwise it will be counterproductive and may even aggravate impotence, making it difficult for men to hold their heads up. Western medicine also points out that the so-called eating whips to improve sexual function is nonsense and is just the result of overcoming psychological barriers.

Relying on animal whips to save "sexual weakness"

Many people think that kidney tonification is something that only men do, and only those with sexual dysfunction need it, and that tonifying the kidney is equivalent to tonifying sex. Kidney tonification should be done secretly.

From a medical perspective, kidney deficiency is actually a kind of accumulation of damage. It is a common phenomenon in life activities, regardless of gender. Many middle-aged and elderly people have more or less kidney deficiency symptoms, such as sore waist and knees, insomnia and forgetfulness, decreased disease resistance, decreased sexual function, etc. This is not surprising.

As for what to eat to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, everyone can name several: dog meat, leeks, loach, sea cucumber, yam, cordyceps sinensis... However, compared to others, the most well-known food for nourishing yang is animal whip. According to the editor's understanding, the traditional Chinese view of "like cures like" and "what you eat replenishes what you need" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many middle-aged and elderly gay men, especially those who are more traditional and conservative, are accustomed to making "animal whip medicinal wine" at home when they encounter kidney deficiency, impotence, and decreased libido, and then drink two glasses a day. They firmly believe that this method of dietary therapy can provide long-term aphrodisiac and avoid the side effects of Western medicine. They don't have to go to the hospital and "embarrass" themselves to face the doctor's questioning about "sexual deficiency."

Psychological experts believe that the belief that eating animal penises can enhance sexual performance has been popular for a long time not only because traditional Chinese medicine is still being passed down and developed, but also because men love to save face, have a strong sense of self-esteem, and do not want to expose their vanity.

Eating animal whip as a dietary supplement requires different treatments

Currently, animal whips sold on the market include bull whips, donkey whips, deer whips, horse whips, dog whips, sheep whips... But can men eat animal whips to enhance their sexual function and nourish their kidneys ? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eating animal whips can enhance sexual function and nourish the kidneys, but the effects of different animal whips are different.

Bullwhip has the effect of warming and nourishing the kidney yang. Western medicine believes that the sexual organs of living male animals, such as testicles, do contain considerable male hormones, which can help male friends improve their sexual ability. However, bullwhip is strong in nature. Although some young men have symptoms of impotence, premature ejaculation, and frequent spermatorrhea, they are also accompanied by dry mouth, dry throat, constipation, easy erection, and frequent sexual impulses. In this case, bullwhip should not be taken. Once taken by mistake, spermatorrhea will be aggravated, and even side effects such as irritability and nosebleeds will occur.

Dog penis is mainly used to treat impotence, spermatorrhea, male infertility, cold and damp scrotum, sore waist and knees, weak body, cold and leucorrhea in women, and postpartum body weakness. It is forbidden to take it for those with yin deficiency and excessive fire and those who are prone to erection. Dog penis cannot be eaten with garlic, as it will harm people.

Deer penis can nourish kidney essence, strengthen kidney yang, improve essence, and strengthen waist and knees. It is mainly used to treat kidney deficiency, fatigue, waist and knee pain, deafness, tinnitus, impotence, spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, uterine cold and infertility, and clear vaginal discharge. It is most suitable for men with kidney deficiency, weak constitution, easy fatigue, waist and back pain, and infertility. It is forbidden for those with yin deficiency, dryness and heat, and those with cold and fever.

The donkey whip is good for strengthening the kidneys and tendons. It is mainly used to treat impotence, soreness of tendons and bones, bone tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, deficiency of qi and blood, and insufficient milk in women. The effect of donkey whip is relatively mild, and it tastes sweet and salty, and is non-toxic. It is suitable for most people to eat.

Sheep whip can strengthen the spleen and kidney, warm the middle and stop pain, clear the intestines and stop diarrhea, clear away heat and detoxify, remove rot and promote tissue regeneration, resist bacteria, reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, prevent infection, and clean the skin of the anus. It is used for long-term diarrhea caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, irregular bowel movements, diarrhea at dawn, sometimes with mucus, accompanied by abdominal distension and pain, epigastric pain, lower abdominal distension, poor diet, chronic colitis, acute and chronic enteritis, ulcerative colitis, intestinal dysfunction, pain caused by internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, mixed hemorrhoids, anal fissures, prolapse of the anus, etc., edema inflammation, anal contraction and lifting of the anus, etc. It is suitable for impotence and low libido caused by insufficient kidney yang.

Most animal whips are not suitable for high temperature cooking

Experts say that animal whips can be eaten in many ways, but most animal whips are not suitable for high-temperature steaming, because the organic components in them are easily killed during the steaming process, and it is difficult to fully exert their medicinal effects. Animal whips are divided into two types: water-soluble and fat-soluble. The former can be prepared in a variety of ways, while the latter can only produce the kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening effects when taken with wine.

Generally speaking, there are three common ways of eating it:

1. Wine soaking: use wine with a concentration of more than 50 % alcohol as a carrier, usually for about 3 months, such as the common "three-whip wine" made from a mixture of deer whip, bull whip and dog whip ;

2. Cook with other kidney-tonifying herbs and use according to the dosage ;

3. Dry, grind into powder, and take orally daily.

If you want to consume animal penis alone, you need to consider your symptoms and constitution and be careful not to abuse it. However, if you plan to take it with other Chinese medicines, you must follow the advice of a specialist doctor.
