Benefits For Man

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common disease which affects about 50% of men aging from 40 to 70 years in America, and the prevalence is almost the same in China, and close to 70% in Malaysia. Oral drugs (known as PDE5-I) is the first line therapy for ED. However, its effective rate is only 60–70%. Various alternative or complementary therapies are being investigated to increase the curative effect for ED, with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) at the forefront of this trend.

In TCM, the fluids and blood in human bodies are produced and distributed by Qi, a vital energy permeating the whole universe. Qi is generated from the interaction between Yin and Yang. It flows through meridians in human bodies and nourishes the organs. 

Kidney and liver are the two primary organs related to ED in the TCM understanding. The kidney stores the essence, while liver stores blood. Sexual and reproductive functions are also under the control of liver. ED commonly involves the kidney or liver patterns of disharmony in the Yin and Yang. 

A great number of traditional Chinese herbs have been used to treat ED in the form of single or compound formulas. Black Ginger (or Kaempferia parviflora) is one of these traditional Chinese herbs for ED treatment.
