Does Qi deficiency affect sexual function? How to relieve it?

Qi deficiency is a relatively broad concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which generally summarizes the reasons for the low function of the human body. However, it can be divided into many types according to the specific symptoms, such as lung Qi deficiency, spleen Qi deficiency, stomach Qi deficiency, heart Qi deficiency and kidney Qi deficiency. The connotation of kidney Qi deficiency is relatively small, and it specifically refers to the decline in the kidney's gasification function, which leads to insufficient kidney Qi, thus manifesting a series of symptoms, such as low back pain, weak legs, dizziness, fear of cold, fatigue intolerance, sweating, decreased sexual function, etc.

People with qi deficiency should eat foods that have the effect of replenishing qi, eat things that are mild in nature and sweet or sweet and warm in taste, and eat nutritious and easily digestible tonic foods. Avoid eating foods that damage or consume Qi, avoid eating raw, cold foods, and avoid eating greasy, spicy foods.

1. Yam and coix seed tea: Boil three grams of yam and coix seed in water and drink it. This can make your internal energy sufficient, your spirits good and your complexion good. But please note that real yam is white. If it is purple or red, its function is only to be eaten as sweet potato.
