Introduction
In general, "shou fu" refers to masturbation. Excessive masturbation can be addressed through regular作息 (作息 should be translated as作息 here means rest and work patterns), moderate exercise, a balanced diet, Chinese herbal medicine调理 (regulation/body regulation), and acupoint massage. Each individual's situation is unique; therefore, these methods may need to be adjusted according to personal circumstances. If excessive masturbation is significantly affecting your life, please seek timely medical help from a professional.

Generally speaking, "hand float" refers to masturbation. Over-masturbation can be counteracted through regular作息 (作息 here should be translated as作息 habits or daily routines), moderate exercise, balanced diet, Chinese herbal regulation, and acupressure massage. If discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Regular作息 (作息 here should be translated as作息 habits or daily routines)

Good sleep contributes to physical recovery and endocrine regulation, allowing sufficient rest for bodily organs and enhancing the body's self-repair capability. It is particularly beneficial for recovery from physical fatigue and mental lethargy potentially caused by excessive masturbation. It is recommended to ensure adequate sleep, aiming for 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep each night.

2. Moderate Exercise

Exercise promotes blood circulation, strengthens physical health, improves immunity, enhances the function of the reproductive system, and helps relieve stress and regulate psychological conditions. It is recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise weekly, such as jogging, swimming, or cycling, and to incorporate strength training exercises like push-ups and sit-ups.

3. Balanced Diet

Increase consumption of zinc-rich foods such as oysters, lean meat, liver, eggs, and dairy products, as zinc plays a vital role in male reproductive health. Maintain a diversified diet to ensure sufficient intake of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Increase protein intake from sources like lean meat, fish, and legumes to aid physical recovery.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Regulation

If necessary, consult a TCM practitioner to determine an appropriate herbal regulation plan tailored to your condition. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine can help regulate the body and improve conditions such as kidney deficiency caused by excessive masturbation. Certain Chinese patent medicines, such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan, and Wu Zi Yan Zong Wan, may also be used, but must be taken under medical supervision according to individual symptoms and physical condition.

5. Acupressure Massage

You may massage acupoints related to the reproductive system, such as Guanyuan (CV4), Qihai (CV6), and Shenshu (BL23). Guanyuan is located on the lower abdomen along the anterior midline, 3 cun below the navel; Qihai is also on the lower abdomen along the anterior midline, but 1.5 cun below the navel; Shenshu is located on the waist, 1.5 cun lateral to the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra. Pressing these points with your fingers before bedtime daily may help warm and supplement kidney yang, consolidate essence, and promote physical recovery.

Each individual's condition is unique; therefore, these methods may need to be adjusted according to personal circumstances. If excessive masturbation significantly affects your life, seek timely professional medical assistance.
