The efficacy and function of Morinda officinalis

Morinda officinalis has a long history of application in my country. As early as the Han Dynasty, its medicinal use was recorded in Ming Yi Bie Lu. Morinda officinalis is the root of the Morinda officinalis plant of the Rubiaceae family. It tastes spicy and sweet, and is slightly warm in nature. It enters the kidney and liver meridians. It can nourish the kidney and assist yang, dispel wind and dampness, and is often used to treat impotence, frequent urination, uterine coldness and infertility, rheumatic pain in the waist and knees, and soreness of the waist and knees due to kidney deficiency. Bencao Zhengyi says that Morinda officinalis "tastes spicy, has a warm nature, and specifically enters the kidney to stimulate the yang energy. Warming and nourishing the primordial yang will eliminate the evil spirits, cure impotence, strengthen the muscles and bones, improve the essence, and treat pain in the lower abdomen and genitals, all of which have the effect of warming the kidney and dispersing cold."

In modern society, people are under great pressure at work and in life, and some people overindulge in sex, resulting in many people suffering from weakness in waist and knees, impotence, kidney deficiency and spermatorrhea at a young age. Morinda officinalis can nourish the kidney and strengthen the tendons, dispel wind and dampness, and treat weakness of muscles and bones. It can be used in combination with other Chinese medicines such as Cistanche deserticola, Eucommia ulmoides, and Dioscorea paniculata. It can also be used in combination with other Chinese medicines such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Psoralea corylifolia, and Fructus Aconitum to strengthen the kidney, astringe the semen, and strengthen the yang.

For female infertility, male infertility and other symptoms, you can use Morinda officinalis with ginseng, yam, raspberry, etc. to warm the kidney and uterus and replenish sperm.
