When it comes to Viagra, the drug (the little blue pill) is known to most male comrades, because Viagra is a milestone in the history of the treatment of impotence (ED)! People often say Viagra mainly refers to “Viagra” (sildenafil citrate), now refers to a variety of PDE5 inhibitors, are called Viagra. Speaking of Viagra, we have to mention his birth process: “intentionally planted flowers do not live, unintentional willows into shade”. The discovery was purely a matter of coincidence. Pfizer invested in the development of a new drug for the treatment of angina pectoris, but the results of the clinical trials were so poor that it was difficult to win. It had to abandon the development and decided to withdraw the drug. Unexpectedly, the subjects seemed to have other secrets and refused to hand over the drug. The results of the follow-up investigation surprised the manufacturer, the original and the heart “no relation” to the new drug has a good use: the obvious effect of penile erection. The use of Viagra is extremely widespread, as a modern Chinese medicine practitioner we also occasionally use this drug, with the treatment. Although Viagra is a purely Western drug, there are detailed instructions about its pharmacological effects, dosage, contraindications, and adverse reactions. We also often think that if we take Viagra as a flavor of Chinese medicine, what kind of flavor, attribution, and efficacy does he have? Viagra’s flavor: pungent and warm. The main liver, kidney and heart meridians. Efficacy: Liver sparing to start Yang, through the collaterals to start impotence. Characteristics: up the head, down the sea of blood; sex go not keep, the main into the zong tendon; treatment of symptoms have more than enough to treat the root of the insufficient; with too much, excessive promotion of yang, qi and blood stagnation; use for a long time, the depletion of kidney essence, damage to the yin and blood. Here are a few explanations: 1, taste pungent and warm: the theory of the four qi and five flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that: pungent dispersal, acid collection, sweet slow, bitter firm, salty and soft. Xin flavor: can be scattered, can line, have dispersal, line gas, line blood, etc., and Viagra vasodilatation effect is more similar, so the set of Viagra for the taste of Xin, while the set of Viagra for the sex of the warm, take its Xin dispersal of sex belongs to the characteristics of the Yang. In fact, Viagra is strictly flat, we are for the characterization of the drug hot and cold, hot and warm, from the drug effect on the body of the reaction occurred out of the profile. Clinically, we identify the patient belonging to the yang deficiency and fear of cold, ate Viagra and not cold, the same yin deficiency and fear of heat ate also do not return to the deficiency heat. 2, sparing the liver from the yang, through the impotence: efficacy is very good to understand, the most obvious role of Viagra is to eat to improve the erection, the theory of the meridian of the internal meridian: the liver meridian through the femoral yin, into the hair in the ring Yin ware, to the small belly. The male genitals: penis and liver meridian close relationship, coupled with Viagra pungent dispersal, the line qi to activate the blood and thus indicate that the main principle of the role of Viagra is to ease the liver to start impotence, said Viagra mildly warm bias flat, and therefore is to start impotence, Yang (device), rather than aphrodisiacs. 3, the upper line of the head, the lower line of the sea of blood: the study of traditional Chinese medicine, we all know that this is to describe the traditional Chinese medicine: the Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong a sentence. Viagra has a similar effect because of a common side effect of Viagra: headache, flushing, nasal congestion, bleeding. Obviously Viagra for the head and face of the blood vessels have a very strong dilatation effect. 4, the sex go not keep, the main into the zong tendon: Chinese medicine inside a flavor of medicine: the seeds, very famous, known as “back to the sun to save the reverse the first product medicine. Gas male sex Hum, go and do not keep, is to describe the epiphyllum, indicating that the epiphyllum of this drug warm Yang dispersal of cold strong strong, but the role of time does not last, a dispersal of the need to be equipped with the guard and do not go dry ginger. Viagra and the character of the epiphyllum is the same, go and do not keep, short half-life, eat once the role of the tube can not be too long, sildenafil 3.7 hours, vardenafil 4.0 hours, tadalafil 17.5 hours, the strongest tadalafil but tube more than ten hours, after the time will be useless. 5, the treatment of the symptoms have more than enough to cure the root of the insufficient: why it said that it treats the symptoms of the more than enough, because Viagra, the drug to improve the erection of the role of the clear and powerful! The fact is, at the moment, on the short-term effects, basically no drug can compete with Viagra, so he said he is more than enough to treat the symptoms, more than enough. A lot of health care products on the market that claim to be pure Chinese medicine preparations, in fact, secretly added Viagra ingredients, so the short-term effect is very good. Why and say it is not enough to treat the root cause? Just said Viagra go and do not keep, the role is indeed powerful, but after the time is useless, many times to solve the fundamental problem, can not rely on eating Viagra for life, right? But some people are psychogenic impotence, tension and anxiety caused by eating Viagra strong to ensure an erection, confidence slowly recovered, and later to solve the problem of erectile dysfunction, this kind of people should be considered the root of the cure, and therefore we say he is not enough to cure the root of the problem. 6, the amount of overdose, rising Yang excessive, qi and blood congestion stagnation: There are many kinds of Viagra packaging, the classic packaging 100mg a piece of that is for the Western individual large foreigners, the Orientals! The shape is a little thin, each time the dosage is not necessary to eat 100mg, and therefore we often let the patient, break to eat, each time to eat 1/2 piece or 1/3 piece. Nowadays, there are also small packages of 25mg and 50mg, which are specially designed for oriental people. If a very thin and weak clinical people you give him Viagra, 100mg at a time, certainly is the amount of overdose, so there are many side effects, headache, red face, nose bleeding, is the Chinese medicine: Yang excess, qi and blood wrestling congestion in the upper, and thus in the clinical application of Viagra, to be different, grasp the dosage, and Chinese medicine, individualized treatment, the three causes of the appropriate for the individual, different, the same thing! 7, the use of a long time, depletion of kidney essence, damage to blood and yin: Viagra also exists a drug resistance problem, the use of a long time, the effect may be discounted, may be the beginning of the time, eat 1/3 of the effect is very good, and slowly need to eat 1/2 to achieve the same effect, and finally may eat a can’t, which shows what the problem is? Western medicine says it is drug resistance, how does Chinese medicine understand it? Yang Dao firm and long depends on the fullness of the essence of the kidneys, the fullness of the essence of the kidneys is the material basis for the invigoration of the Zong筋. So we can understand why Viagra to eat a long time, the effect slowly not? Because it is excessive depletion of the human body’s kidney essence, shaking the material basis of penile erection, damage to the blood, while Viagra has a common side effect, eat more will be back pain, back pain. Chinese medicine seems to be: gas and blood deficiency, blood does not support the tendons. So Viagra is a drug that should be used in moderation, not abused. the goal of ED treatment should be to restore satisfactory sexual function, not just to get a hard erection!
