    In fact, aphrodisiac drugs do not work for everyone. If one is experiencing sexual dysfunction or conditions such as kidney deficiency, relying solely on aphrodisiacs to restore normal sexual activity is not sufficient. One should not become too dependent on such medications; instead, it is important to make lifestyle changes. In terms of diet, consuming foods that nourish the kidneys and replenish energy can help alleviate these symptoms.

    This is incorrect and also unnecessary. Although some medications for enhancing kidney function and boosting sexual performance can increase levels of sexual arousal and prolong the duration of intercourse, most users lack knowledge about these drugs. Long-term use of such medications for excessive indulgence can disrupt the body’s hormonal balance and undermine the normal balance between yin and yang. Moreover, discontinuation of the medication may lead to irreversible erectile dysfunction due to drug dependence. Furthermore, relying solely on medications to achieve physical sexual satisfaction is not beneficial for normal sexual intercourse between spouses; rather, it may lead to confusion and misunderstandings in emotional communication.

    Therefore, the use of aphrodisiacs should be targeted only when an individual has sexual desire but is unable to fulfill it due to certain physical reasons. For men, the situations in which erectile dysfunction medications are appropriate include:: Impotence caused by diabetes, spinal cord injuries, medications, after radical prostatectomy, after radiotherapy, smoking, dietary factors, and psychological factors.

    1. Chinese yam

    It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and lungs, and enhancing essence and strengthening the kidneys. Taking it in decoction form or preparing it into yam porridge can help nourish the kidneys and replenish essence, as well as strengthen the body and prevent nocturnal emissions. Regular consumption may aid in preventing and treating conditions such as impotence, premature ejaculation, nocturnal emissions, and weak legs.

    2. Lotus seeds

    It has the effects of nourishing the skin and strengthening the intestines, as well as promoting renewal and strengthening the kidneys. Modern medical research has shown that lotus seeds contain components such as lotusine and lotus sugar, and they are also rich in calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Therefore, they are considered healthy foods that have a strengthening effect on the body. Regular consumption of lotus seeds can help treat chronic diarrhea related to spleen dysfunction.
