Hi!
I have just bought a chinese formula called Lung Fu Chuang Yeung Dan which contains: Ginseng, Astrgalus membranaceues, Epimedium grandiflorum, Wild American ginseng, Cistanche salsa, Alpinia oxyphylla, Polygonum multiflorum. Considering that I am 19 and have a gigh sex drive, is there a danger of taking this formula which seems mostly yang?
Thanks a lot!
William McDuffI would say, yes. But dosage and other factors such as diet and qigong practice could compensate for an excess yang condition.
. Question is, why do you need to supplement what you have plenty of?
michael. Question is, why do you need to supplement what you have plenty of?
michaelWell, when I ordered it I didn’t have a very high sexual drive, because I was in a period when I was kind of sick and frustrated about sex (partly because I was pobsessed with ejaculation control). But recently I start eating sea foods and fish (I was vegetarian for years and almost never ate proteins)and 2 ago I start doing a lot of the wudang orbit with sexual energy in which I utilise the poerl to tonify the kidney. And since I started this method, my sex drive is very high and I almost wake up every night with my kidney pumping and can not sleep afterward (like now). The reason I intend to take supplements is that it is suppose to be good for long term sexual potency and conservation and Plato is recommending it for prostate prevention. Also, it is suppose to be good for weight training, which I am starting soon.
Thanks for your time!
William McDuffUnless there is a serious medical condition, ginseng is usually not given to men below the age of 40; no need to tonify when there is an abundance. From your description, it sounds like you have plenty of kidney yang energy, and are aware of it.
William, my thinking is going in the same general direction as Michael and uroburro. I would suggest that you focus on what, in daoism, is the core of all practices – balance. Look for it, meditate on it, ask for it. If you are drawn to herbs (and even if you weren’t!) I strongly recommend that you do this:
1- Find a good acupuncturist with herbal training and let him/her determine what your organs are doing right away. Whatever innate constitutional imbalances you have, you have a much better chance of correcting it at your age than if you wait and keep moving in the direction that the imbalances are taking you now. A few good treatments can smoothen out many rough edges.
2- Working with the three dantiens and letting the organ energy develop from the lower dt will probably be more efficient than trying to work with individual organs alone. The ldt feeds all the systems. You want to align them all together in harmony. Think “EARTH.” She is the ground everything we are grows from.
3- Use the inner smile and gently feel into each organ for how it’s doing and what it wants. They will “talk” to you in their own way, you just have to listen between the lines.
Most of the growing/healing/evolving process is an act of patience and listening. It is predominately flowingness and adaptibility that create health and illumination. We tend to go yang in our approach and our controllingness can often create blocks and problems by stimulating the resistance of psychological aspects that need time and other specific things to grow. We can’t just push it along. It’s more like swimming.
Health and happiness, Alexander
