For this type of impotence caused by kidney yang deficiency, in addition to herbal medicine, moxibustion can also be used for treatment. The kidney is the organ that generates strength. Once the kidney qi is weak and the yang transformation function is weakened, impotence will occur. The treatment principle should be "to warm and tonify the lower source, benefit the kidney and raise yang". In clinical practice, acupoints such as Guanyuan, Mingmen, Shenshu, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Taixi, and Neiguan are often selected.

> Mingmen, Shenshu, Guanyuan, and Sanyinjiao are acupoints commonly used by Master Cheng in treating impotence. Shenshu is selected to tonify the kidneys; Mingmen and Guanyuan are selected to tonify the true fire of the lower jiao; Sanyinjiao is the meeting point of the three yin meridians of the foot. The three yin meridians all run through the lower abdomen and converge at the genitals, so it is selected to tonify the three yin meridians. With the combination of these acupoints, the disease can be cured by moxibustion.

Erectile dysfunction is not solely caused by kidney yang deficiency. Liver and kidney yin deficiency, damp-heat accumulation, and relaxation of the reproductive muscles can also lead to impotence. For this type of erectile dysfunction, warming tonifying herbs are not only ineffective but can also worsen the condition. In such cases, it is recommended to use Zhi Bai Di Huang Tang to nourish liver and kidney yin, with the addition of Gentiana scabra and Er Miao Wan to clear heat from the liver meridian.

Fu Qingzhu, a Qing Dynasty physician renowned as a "miracle doctor," believed that impotence was the result of an imbalance of Yin and Yang. Causes of this imbalance could include sudden fright, exposure to damp heat, excessive worry, overwork, or dietary imbalances.

A traditional remedy for impotence is turtle. Take one turtle (about 300 grams), 10 grams each of ginseng and deer antler slices, and 15 grams of wolfberries. Slaughter the turtle, remove its internal organs, wash it, and cut it into small pieces. Wash the ginseng, deer antler, and wolfberries, and place them in a clay pot with the turtle meat. Add cooking wine, ginger slices, and an appropriate amount of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat until the turtle meat is tender. Season to taste and serve. This formula warms the kidneys, strengthens yang, and replenishes the spleen and essence.

Deer blood, hailed as possessing the "most complete Yang energy of heaven and earth," is considered a potent aphrodisiac. However, regularly drinking fresh deer blood is impractical. A more effective approach is to consume venison, stewed with medicinal herbs: 2000g venison, 15g each of dodder seed and coix seed, 10g each of eucommia bark, curculigo orchioides, and epimedium, 50g ginger, and 150g scallions. Wash the venison and cut it into small pieces. Place all the herbs in a gauze bag, tie the bag tightly, and put it in a pot with the venison. Add water and bring to a boil, skimming off any foam. Add cooking wine and ginger slices, and simmer over low heat until the venison is tender. Remove the herb bag, add salt, MSG, and other seasonings, and simmer briefly before eating the meat and drinking the broth.

Men must avoid fatigue and staying up late during treatment and should engage in light exercise. Their diet should be mainly light and bland.
