Disease description:
I heard that drinking water infused with Lycium barbarum (goji berries) and American ginseng can improve sexual function, and I would like to know if this claim is true. I currently do not have obvious sexual dysfunction, but I hope to enhance my physical condition and improve my sexual quality of life through diet in daily life.

Both Lycium barbarum (goji berry) and American ginseng are commonly used tonic herbs in traditional Chinese medicine, each possessing certain health benefits. Goji berry is rich in various vitamins and minerals, and can nourish the liver and kidneys, improve vision, and promote blood health, thereby contributing to overall physical improvement. American ginseng, on the other hand, has effects of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat, and promoting body fluid production, and is suitable for conditions involving deficiency of both qi and yin. Theoretically, both herbs may indirectly exert positive effects on sexual function, such as by enhancing physical strength and improving blood circulation. However, sexual function is influenced by multiple factors, including psychological, physiological, and environmental aspects, and therefore cannot be directly linked to enhancement of sexual performance.
If you are concerned about your sexual function, it is recommended to consult a qualified physician for evaluation and treatment in order to receive a personalized health guidance plan. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including a balanced diet, moderate exercise, sufficient sleep, and a positive mental state—is the key to improving sexual function.
