Ba Wei Di Huang Wan and Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao

Dr.
Lin: I often masturbate, and my sperm volume has always been low.
I easily feel fatigued and have eye strain.
Is it advisable to take Ba Wei Di Huang Wan? Does Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao help increase erectile hardness? Could you also provide information on the prices, dosage, and contraindications for each? Thank you!

QQQ, 20~29 year old female. Ask Date: 2006/05/23

Dr. Lin Qingzhong reply Traditional Chinese Medicine

Hello QQQ user: Regarding your question, here are my responses:
1.
Sexual impulses and masturbation are normal phenomena in the growth of boys.
It is common for boys to experience these during their development.
Masturbation and nocturnal emissions should not occur too frequently within a week to avoid fatigue or mental confusion, so there is no need to worry excessively.
Young individuals often have a strong kidney fire, and excessive masturbation—such as several times a day—can lead to a decrease in sperm count, resulting in fatigue, eye strain, insomnia, dizziness, headaches, lack of concentration, or lower back pain.
In such cases, it is advisable to consult a qualified traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner for remedies to clear kidney fire and to avoid external stimuli, such as reducing the consumption of adult content, taking cold showers, and engaging in physical exercise to improve focus and reduce sexual impulses.
2.
In my clinical practice, I often prescribe remedies to clear kidney fire, such as Xiao Ba Wei and Zhi Bai Ba Wei Di Huang Wan, which help to clear kidney fire and should also avoid external stimuli.
3.
Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao is generally used for osteoporosis, and the methods of preparation and extraction vary among manufacturers, leading to different pricing.
4.
To enhance erectile function, I usually adopt a "syndrome differentiation and treatment" approach, which tends to yield better results.

I hope you can view masturbation with a calm mindset and not feel guilty about it.
I believe this will lead to a happier life and growth for you.
If you have similar questions, I am more than willing to help you.

Wishing you well,
Dr.
Lin Qingzhong, Director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, Fengyuan Hospital.

More Info

When it comes to enhancing vitality and addressing concerns related to low sperm count and fatigue, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers various herbal formulations, including Ba Wei Di Huang Wan and Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao. Both of these remedies have been used for centuries to support men's health, but it's essential to understand their properties, potential benefits, and any contraindications before considering their use.

Ba Wei Di Huang Wan (八味地黃丸) is a classic TCM formula that is often used to nourish the kidney yin and support overall vitality. The formula typically contains ingredients like Rehmannia root, Chinese yam, and other herbs that are believed to tonify the kidneys and nourish the essence. In TCM, the kidneys are considered the source of vitality and reproductive health. Therefore, Ba Wei Di Huang Wan may help improve energy levels, support reproductive function, and potentially enhance sperm quality.

Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao (龜鹿二仙膠), on the other hand, is another TCM formulation that combines turtle shell and deer antler, which are believed to have restorative properties. This remedy is often used to enhance sexual function, improve libido, and support overall vitality. It is thought to be particularly beneficial for men experiencing fatigue, low libido, or erectile dysfunction.

Regarding your specific concerns about low sperm count and fatigue, both formulations may offer some benefits. However, it's crucial to note that while these remedies can support overall health, they are not a substitute for medical treatment if there are underlying health issues contributing to your symptoms. If you are experiencing significant fatigue, eye strain, or other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation.

Dosage and Administration:
- Ba Wei Di Huang Wan is typically taken in pill form, with the recommended dosage often being around 8-12 grams per day, divided into two or three doses. It is best taken with warm water, preferably after meals.

- Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao is usually available in a syrup or powder form. The dosage can vary, but it is generally recommended to take 10-15 grams per day, also divided into two or three doses.

Contraindications:
- Both remedies should be used with caution in individuals with specific health conditions. For instance, if you have a history of kidney disease, diabetes, or other chronic health issues, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new herbal regimen.

- Additionally, if you are taking other medications or supplements, it's crucial to discuss potential interactions with a healthcare professional.

Cost:
The price of these herbal formulations can vary widely based on the brand, quality, and location of purchase. Generally, Ba Wei Di Huang Wan may cost around $10 to $30 for a month's supply, while Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao can range from $15 to $50, depending on the formulation and brand. It's advisable to purchase these products from reputable sources to ensure quality and efficacy.

In summary, both Ba Wei Di Huang Wan and Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao may provide benefits for enhancing vitality and supporting reproductive health in men. However, it is essential to approach their use thoughtfully and consult with a healthcare professional to ensure they are appropriate for your specific health needs. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and stress management play a significant role in overall vitality and reproductive health, so consider incorporating these aspects into your routine as well.
