Is folk Bushen medicinal liquor really effective?
For a long time, the folk tradition of "supplementing shape with shape" has made many men in China think that medicinal liquor made from various animal whips can play a very good role in tonifying kidney and strengthening yang. However, health experts remind you that drinking this aphrodisiac may be harmful to men's reproductive health, and it may be more and more deficient. In the field of medicinal liquor, the most famous aphrodisiac is deer whip and other "animal whip wine". Today, many elderly citizens still believe that drinking a small amount of this animal whip wine every day can achieve the effect of strengthening yang and tonifying kidney in the long run, and can also avoid the side effects of many aphrodisiacs. However, Dr. Li, director of the hospital's andrology center, does not fully agree with this view. He believes that the so-called "aphrodisiac" effect is due to the relatively high androgen content in the whips of various animals. Drinking these medicated wines is actually supplementing the body with extra androgen. From the perspective of western medicine, there is a strict dose limit for men to supplement androgen. Men only need to take extra testosterone or other drugs when androgen secretion is insufficient to increase the amount of androgen in the body and maintain normal male sexual characteristics. If a normal man takes animal whip medicinal liquor for a long time, it is equivalent to supplementing himself with extra androgen every day. After a long time, it will naturally affect the secretion of androgen in the human body, leading to the imbalance of androgen secretion in the body. Dr. Li said that some medicinal liquor may have certain effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and strengthening the body. However, from the perspective of protecting men's reproductive health, it is best for men with poor physical resistance or a history of reproductive diseases to consult relevant specialists before drinking medicinal liquor to avoid other physical injuries caused by "excessive supplementation". Normal men in good health can drink some mild conventional medicinal liquor in moderation. As for other "strange" formula medicinal liquor, the public should choose carefully. He said: "It is better for men to supplement positive energy through moderate exercise than relying on dietotherapy methods such as medicinal liquor to achieve the purpose of strengthening yang and tonifying kidney." Folk self-made medicinal liquor is mostly prepared by experience, but from the nutritional level, most of them have no scientific evidence, and there is no relevant evidence to support the side effects of these medicinal liquor on the body. "'Don't drink too much!' This slogan is quite good. It is really inappropriate to drink too much medicinal liquor. Dr. Li said, "Excessive drinking of medicinal liquor may cause some men with slightly poor health or cardiovascular diseases to have dizziness, rapid heartbeat and other adverse reactions, and even lead to acute attacks of some basic diseases." In daily wine table entertainment, there are indeed people who pay attention to ostentation and saving face, and will choose some precious medicinal liquor to entertain guests under the banner of "strengthening yang" and "tonifying kidney". On these occasions, because the opportunity is rare and the ingredients are precious, excessive drinking of medicinal liquor occurs from time to time. Dr. Li reminded that medicinal liquor should not be "binged", and citizens should try to avoid choosing medicinal liquor as a social drink in their lives. "No matter what formula of medicinal liquor, almost all of them are brewed with high-alcohol liquor. If you contain alcohol, it will definitely hurt you. " Dr. Li said that putting aside the medicinal value and nutritional value of various formulas in medicinal liquor for the time being, "alcohol" alone may bring harm to the body. "Especially for male reproductive organs, alcohol itself will damage the vitality of sperm and have a certain impact on reproductive diseases such as prostatitis."
