Generally, common Chinese herbs used for treating premature ejaculation include Rosa laevigata fruit (Jinyingzi), Epimedium (Yinyanghuo), Morinda root (Bajitian), Cynomorium (Suoyang), and Curculigo rhizome (Xianmao). It is recommended to use these herbs under the guidance of a physician to avoid unnecessary harm to the body. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Jinyingzi (Rosa laevigata fruit)
Jinyingzi is an astringent herb that functions to consolidate essence and reduce urination, as well as to check diarrhea. It provides certain benefits for sexual function, such as delaying ejaculation and enhancing libido. It is suitable for symptoms of premature ejaculation.
2. Yinyanghuo (Epimedium)
Yinyanghuo is a warming herb that invigorates kidney yang, strengthens tendons and bones, and dispels wind-damp. The flavonoids contained in Epimedium can increase blood flow and improve sexual function, thereby potentially helping to alleviate premature ejaculation.
3. Bajitian (Morinda root)
Bajitian is a tonic herb derived from the dried roots of Morinda officinalis of the Rubiaceae family. It warms kidney yang, strengthens tendons and bones, and removes wind-damp. It is indicated for kidney deficiency-related impotence and premature ejaculation. Due to its acrid and slightly warm nature, which may stimulate internal heat, it should be avoided by individuals with yin deficiency and fire hyperactivity or damp-heat conditions.
4. Suoyang (Cynomorium songaricum)
Suoyang is a tonic herb derived from the dried fleshy stems of Cynomorium songaricum of the Cynomoriaceae family. It warms kidney yang, enriches essence and blood, and moistens the intestines to relieve constipation. It can be used to treat premature ejaculation caused by liver and kidney deficiency. However, due to its sweet and warm nature that may stimulate internal heat and lubricate the intestines, it should be avoided by individuals with yin deficiency fire hyperactivity, constipation, or chronic diarrhea.
5. Xianmao (Curculigo rhizome)
Xianmao is a tonic herb derived from the dried rhizomes of Curculigo orchioides of the Amaryllidaceae family. It warms kidney yang, strengthens tendons and bones, and dispels cold-damp. It is indicated for kidney yang deficiency, impotence, and premature ejaculation. However, due to its acrid and hot nature that may consume yin and stimulate internal heat, it should be avoided by individuals with yin deficiency and fire hyperactivity.
If you plan to use any of the above herbs, it is recommended to consult a qualified physician first. During treatment, attention should be paid to dietary regulation. Avoid consuming cold, raw, or spicy foods such as ice cream and raw fish slices, as they may interfere with the therapeutic effects of the medication.
