Some people prefer to choose Chinese medicine or patent Chinese medicine with fewer side effects to get rid of diseases, while others like to use Chinese medicine to make tea or soak in alcohol to strengthen their body and keep fit. However, do you know what is the Chinese medicine that men can't live without in their lifetime? Some may say it's the Chinese medicine with aphrodisiac effects. In fact, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, nourishing yin for men is more important than invigorating yang. During adolescence, remove dampness and heat with poria and white root. A survey pointed out that 98% of men in adolescence will be troubled by "acne". At this time, the level of androgen secretion in males increases, sebum secretion is active, coupled with greater mental stress during schooling, making it easy for them to have irregular lifestyles. Therefore, the most common problems for adolescent males are acne and getting fired up easily. Acne is mostly caused by excessive heat in the lung meridian or damp-heat in the spleen and stomach. People at this age can take two herbs, poria and white root. Poria has a mild nature, which can promote urination, remove dampness, and strengthen the spleen without harming the righteous qi. You can drink water soaked with 10 grams daily, or decoct it with polyporus umbellatus and alisma for consumption. White root can clear the heat of the lungs and stomach, and also has the effect of cooling blood and generating body fluid. It is recommended to drink it directly soaked in water. For middle-aged detoxification, use kudzu root and white peony. For men aged 30-55, both work and life pressures are enormous, busy with social engagements, often staying up late and drinking alcohol.

People at this age can take some kudzu root with detoxifying effects. According to "Compendium of Materia Medica", kudzu root is cool in nature, neutral in energy, and sweet in taste, with the effects of clearing heat, reducing fire, and detoxifying. Modern medical research also shows that puerarin, an isoflavone compound in kudzu root, has certain therapeutic effects on hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It can be decocted as soup or mashed into juice mixed with rice soup for consumption. Besides, white peony has the function of soothing the liver. People who drink alcohol frequently can choose this herb soaked in water for drinking, which can harmonize qi and blood, and help the yang energy to reach outward.
