The Chinese have a mixed reputation when it comes to sexuality. As a result of Confucian doctrine, traditional, conservative Chinese people tend to be sexually modest. As a result, many millions of native Chinese people are somewhat constrained in their sexual practices. Due to political factors in China about a thousand years ago, the full sexual expression of Chinese society was to a large part squelched and replaced by a prudishness that lasted until modern times.
But before Confucianism really dominated the Chinese cultural landscape, the Chinese were apparently among the most liberated and expressive lovers in the world (and perhaps they are becoming so again). For over a thousand years, the Chinese widely practiced extremely sophisticated bedroom arts. The “Art of the Bedchamber” was so popular, that almost all Chinese partook to some degree. And there were many who took sexual expression to its limit.
The instinct for sex developed, in China, into a true art. The Chinese art of lovemaking, like Chinese cuisine and Chinese art, was developed both consciously and artistically to elevate human experience to a sublime level. Not only was it developed to optimize the pure sexual pleasure possible in lovemaking, but for the distinct purpose of promoting radiant health, youthfulness, and longevity.
Sexuality became, in a real sense, a form of yoga, or more accurately, a “dual yoga” akin to the Tantric techniques practiced in India. In fact, sex practiced in a yogic manner was called “dual cultivation,” because it “cultivates” life force, or qi, in both partners. Increased qi results in increased health, vigor and longevity. The Chinese developed specific techniques and practices that were believed to increase not just sexual potency, stamina and response, but health at all levels. Following the laws of Yin and Yang, masters of the sexual arts developed exercises, massage techniques, and breathing and meditation techniques that helped prolong sexual intercourse, promote and control orgasmic power, and heighten sexual ecstasy.
Among the most important “tools” developed in the sexual arts was the development of a profound herbal system that nurtures sexual energy. Unlike much of the knowledge of the bedroom arts, which was lost and has only recently been re-discovered, the tonic herbalism used in the sexual arts has maintained a central position in Chinese herbalism, the most widely used herbal system in the world. The tonic herbs are powerful, safe, reliable sources of sexual energy. They have been used countless times and have been clearly proven by experience to promote health beyond “just” sexual health. The tonic herbs are considered to be the “longevity” herbs and formulas using these herbs are often referred to by names like “Eternal Spring Elixir” and “Return to Youth Elixir.”
Sex Tonics and Herbal “Aphrodisiacs”
Sexual activity should be a healthful and pleasant experience. However, many people experience disappointment, anxiety, humiliation, frustration and anger because their sexual functioning is below the quality standards they believe they should be able to attain. Impotence and frigidity are the cause of great anguish. Low libido is common among stressed-out people and weakens marital relationships. The Chinese tonics and “aphrodisiac” herbals have been found through the ages to increase libido safely, healthfully and profoundly in both men and women, to fortify sexual functioning, to intensify the pleasure of sexuality, and to help eliminate the roots of sexual dysfunction, frustration and anxiety.
These preparations are not mere sexual stimulants but are great tonics capable of enhancing the health and well-being of those who consume them and are believed by the Chinese and those familiar with Chinese herbalism to help ensure a long and happy life. It is very important to note that the Chinese have not been interested in the quick fix when it comes to sexuality. They have been interested in building true sexual vitality, and that is the raison d’être for the sexual tonics.
Tonics, by definition, are herbal substances that optimize human functioning, improve health, increase longevity, are safe even when taken over a long period of time, and have beneficial effects on the psyche. The sexual tonics that come from China meet those qualifications and more.
The herbs help relax the body and enable one’s feelings to expand. They strengthen the male genitalia and enhance female sensitivity and response. However, it must be emphasized that Chinese sexual tonics are first and foremost designed to improve health.
The Chinese really know a lot about these things. The tonic herbs have been used by literally billions of people over thousands of years. They are backed by wisdom and practical experience that goes beyond theory. But they are based on great principles that have a universal basis.

Sex and Energy – The Three Treasures
Sexual functioning is based on a complex set of energetic capabilities. The Chinese emphasize that optimum sexual functioning is dependent upon abundant, smooth flowing, balanced energy at various levels of our being. When we are healthy in body and mind, this functioning occurs naturally and fully.
Traditionally in Asia, there are said to be three primary types of energy in the human body, and these three types of energy all play a profound role in our sex lives. These three energy categories are traditionally known as “the three treasures,” Jing, Qi (pronounced chee), and Shen. These energies are called “treasures” because they are the very basis of our life.
Jing, the Root of Sexual Energy
The first “treasure” is known as Jing. Jing is generally translated as regenerative essence, or simply as essence. Jing energy is fundamental to life. It is the deepest source of energy in the body and is associated with our genetics. Jing is also our long-term energy and may be thought of as our reserves of “life force.” In Asia, Jing is associated with regeneration, longevity, youthfulness, deep long-term vitality, mental energy, and the source of power for the reproductive system.
Jing has a direct relationship with reproduction, and thus with sexuality. Jing is regarded as being the root of our existence and is the root of the existence of the species as well. Strong Jing will generate strong sexual function, while a deficiency of Jing will result in a weakening of the sexual functions and in the weakening of the body and mind, leading eventually to aging and to death. Thus, sexuality and longevity are intimately connected from the Chinese philosophical point of view and in the Chinese way of life. In the Chinese view, it is the goal of all healthful activities to preserve the Original Jing, to replace the Jing that is spent, and to increase the Jing that is stored within the body whenever possible. That is the secret to longevity and to radiant health.
Jing energy is depleted by living itself, but most especially by stress, excessive behavior, overwork and sexual depletion. Sexual tonics and the sexual yogas are rooted in this premise that Jing can be acquired and replenished through the consumption of certain tonic herbs that contain Jing. The building of Jing is the secret to sexual power.
In Chinese herbalism, there are a relatively small number of Jing tonics. Jing herbs are divided into two categories: Yin and Yang tonics. The yang herbs stimulate the yang functions of a human being and the yin herbs encourage the yin functions. The secret of rejuvenation and of maintaining our health lies in rebuilding the right balance of Yin and Yang. A combination of yin and yang herbs will both increase longevity and provide very strong sexual energy.
Yin herbs are deeply nourishing. They replenish spent Jing and build reserves that are stored in the body for future use. They are famed for their long-term regenerative qualities. They are generally moistening and are believed to be youth preserving. Yin is specifically depleted by stress, overwork, exhaustion, childbearing, excessive or chronic drug or medicine use, disease, excessive emotionalism and sexual excess. Those who are deficient in Yin Jing tend to be chronically exhausted, and they tend to have dark rings under their eyes, backaches, weak kidney and reproductive functions, low resistance to infection, weak digestion and show signs of rapid aging, including dryness and wrinkling of the skin. Yin Jing herbs are capable of replenishing Yin Jing and building reserves for the future. Thus, Yin Jing herbs are considered in Asia to be the cornerstone of rejuvenation and the foundation of longevity, youthfulness - and sexual health.
A yin Jing tonic herb will build up hormones, increase sexual fluids in women and increase sperm production in men. If you replenish your Yin Jing, it’s like recharging your battery and provides the deep fuel for sex.
Yang herbs are deeply empowering. If Yin Jing is compared to the fuel and energy reserve, yang jing can probably be compared to the fire that utilizes energy reserve of yin jing and turns it into heat and light. They are famed for their explosive and out pouring qualities. Yang herbs are used to build sexual energy. They also foster creative power, will power and athletic power. The result of consuming Yang Jing herbs is a renewed youthfulness. However, Yang energy tends to be warm and invigorating and therefore requires Yin to maintain coolness, fluids and balance. Yang herbs should not be taken by a person suffering from Yin deficiency because the Yang herbs can further aggravate the situation by consuming the already deficient Yin Jing. If you wish to utilize Yang herbs, build up the Yin Jing first until all signs of Yin deficiency are eliminated. This may take some time, but regular consumption of powerful Yin Jing herbs will surely nurture the deep Yin Jing.
Eventually Yang herbs can be consumed - and that’s when the real fun begins. Yang herbs provide the power, the spark that ignites the Yang energy, which relates to quality of the erection, female arousal, and orgasm. A yang Jing tonifying herb will cause a man or woman to become more active, more assertive, warmer and more expressive.
Both yin and yang are necessary. Some yin herbs can be used alone, although these are generally not as immediately strengthening as a combination of yin and yang herbs. Yang herbs are useless if the reserves of yin are depleted. Unfortunately, stress, lack of sleep, overwork, poor diet, chronic or acute illness and even excessive sexual activity (that is, activity beyond a person’s current capacity) can all result in the depletion of yin and yang Jing. Therefore, in building sexual energy in its true sense, one should attempt to regulate one’s life so that the causes of yin and yang Jing deficiency are eliminated.
Qi, Our Physical Vitality
The second treasure is known as Qi (pronounced Chee). Qi is translated as vitality. Qi is the energy of life that we acquire through breathing and eating and manifests as our day-to-day vitality. It is the physical energy we use to have sex.
Qi tonics play a very important role in sex. It is not enough to have hormonal power and strong libido. If you lack vitality and endurance, your experience may easily fall short simply as a result of fatigue (“pooping out”). Qi tonics also build the immune system, an important function to consider when you are in such intimate contact with another human being.
Shen, the Root of Love
The third treasure is called Shen. Though there is no precise translation for Shen, it is often translated as Spirit. Shen is the vitality and stability of the mind and of the human spirit. Shen is the consciousness, the compassion, the forgiveness and the unconditional love that rises above “for and against.” Shen opens your heart to love. Shen can manifest as the deep emotions of love for your sexual partner.
If you are interested only in the physical sex, you don’t need to incorporate Shen-building formulas into your herbal program. But if you are interested in building a loving relationship with your sexual partner, with the sex being an important part, adding a Shen-opening formula to your Jing-building program can help you develop and maintain a loving, romantic and extremely harmonious relationship.
A person who is kind, generous and giving and who has a big heart is said to have a lot of Shen. Certain herbs have been found through the centuries to enhance this Shen energy or the ability to develop it. Shen tonics generally have a mild calming and up-lifting quality. When combined into an herbal program that is taken daily, Shen tonics will have profound effects on our state of mind and body. The “art of love” in China is ultimately all about using sex to help develop Shen.
Some of the Major Sexual Tonic Herbs
Deer Antler is perhaps the quintessential sexual tonic. An ancient Chinese classic on the sexual arts states that “there is nothing better than Deer Antler to cause a man to be robust and unaffected by age, not to tire in the bedroom, and not to deteriorate either in energy or in facial coloration.” Deer Antler is a common component of many traditional elixirs.
Epimedium is considered to be the most powerful aphrodisiac herb derived from plant sources. It is very famous for its capacity to strengthen the sexual power of men, and in some cases for women as well. Though it is said to be strengthening to the body as a whole, it remarkable rejuvenating and invigorating effects on the sexual functions is legendary in China. Epimedium, known as “Passionate Goat Herb” in China, increases sexual desire, increases sperm production and stimulates sensory nerves. The herb has been found to have a moderate androgen-like effect on the testes and prostate. Epimedium reduces blood pressure. It is used in women’s tonics as well to increase sex drive.
Schizandra is regarded as an excellent yin tonic that builds energy in the sexual organs, vastly increasing potency. Schizandra helps to prevent male premature ejaculation. Thus, schizandra increases sexual endurance allowing a man to engage in intercourse for a much longer time, once he has developed the physical and mental endurance. Women also are said to benefit greatly from consuming Schizandra. Schizandra is said to increase sexual sensitivity in women and to intensify orgasm. It is considered to be one of the premium women’s aphrodisiacs. It is said that after a woman has used Schizandra for one hundred days, she will build up an abundance of sexual fluids.
Lycium or Goji is a major sexual tonic for both men and women. It is the perfect Yin tonic that may be combined with Yang herbs to build deep sexual energy. It has rejuvenating qualities and provides the energy for sex. In fact, almost every sex tonic made using Chinese herbs includes this ingredient. You can get a real benefit from eating lycium fruit or Goji berries as well. It is delicious and an ounce or two a day makes for a pleasant snack.
Polygonum is another great Yin tonic herb that is widely used to build sexual energy at its deepest level. It is believed to increase male potency and female fertility. Many men report that consumption of this herb noticeably increases sexual vigor and sperm production. It is a highly reliable kidney tonic that helps restore general vigor and, for many men and women, a sense of youthful vigor.
Cistanche is another important sex tonic that has been used by men throughout Chinese history. Ancient sexual classics claimed that consistent consumption of Cistanche would enlarge the penis. It is also said to make the penis much harder during erection. Cistanche is now known to contain alkaloids that increase blood circulation to the pelvic region in general and to the genitals in particular. Women also claim that it improves arousal, probably because of improved circulation to the pelvic and genital region. Ginseng root is highly prized for its tonic action on the sexual function.
Ginseng, which literally translated means “man root,” enhances both the stimulatory and inhibitory process of the central nervous system, thus improving the adaptability of the nervous responses. It has also been found to increase the production of sex-related hormones and to increase sexual response when consumed in moderate doses. Also, and perhaps more importantly, ginseng has been found to have profound anti-fatigue effects and to increase physical stamina. Sexual stamina can in itself prove to be problematic if you don’t have the physical stamina to take the long way home before finishing. Ginseng and other energy tonics like Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng), Astragalus, Rhodiola, and Ant provide real physical energy that can really help with endurance and the ultimate pleasure of having sex. All of these factors make Ginseng one of the most important tonic herbs used in Chinese sexual therapy and Chinese aphrodisiacs.
Cordyceps is one of the premium Kidney Jing tonics. It is both a Yin and Yang Jing tonic. Especially when combined with other Yang herbs such as Epimedium, Cistanche and Eucommia, Cordyceps is considered to be a first class tonic to the sexual functions, for both men and women. Used over a long period of time, Cordyceps is widely believed in the Orient to prolong strong sexual functioning into deep old age.
Dendrobium, or Chinese Orchid, is a very good Yin tonic herb. It has a reputation in the Orient as a “honeymooners’ tea.” It acquired this descriptive name because it is said to quickly replenish spent sexual energy and fluids, thus allowing for repeat encounters.
Polyrhachis Ant tonics are widely consumed in Asia to promote strength, sexual vigor and as a powerful antiaging agent. Ant is noticeably energizing when consumed for a short period of time and builds long-term energy if used continuously. Ant strengthens the sexual functions and has a big reputation in Asia for increasing libido and virility. Both men and women claim that after using ant for even a short time that their interest in sex increases significantly and that their sexual performance improves in numerous ways. The zinc content of Polyrhachis Ant is the highest among all known living organisms. Zinc is a critical element in the human sexual function. In Japan, Zinc has been called the “harmony element” because it creates harmony between couples - it is a powerful sex-improving element. Disorders associated with zinc deficiency include sexual dysfunction, impotence, spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation in men, and frigidity, menorrhagia and menopausal symptoms in women. It has been said that “Ginseng may be the King of herbs, but Ant is the Herb of Kings!”
Eucommia is beneficial to the kidney energy, the entire endocrine system, the liver and the nervous system. It strengthens the middle and lower back, areas that often fatigue or that can be injured during sex. It is widely used in formulas that treat impotence and frigidity in Chinese medicine.
Tribulus, an herb grown in China, India and Bulgaria has recently become very popular as a tonic to the sexual system. The Bulgarian variety helps men produce hormones in a proper ratio and to release free testosterone into the blood stream without side effects. It has been widely accepted as a healthy, powerful sex tonic. It helps balance hormones in women.
Polygala is a Shen tonic that is often used in sexual tonic formulations. It is said to link the energy of the kidneys to that of the heart. In other words, it has the ability to “connect” the physical sexual functions with the feelings of love felt in the heart. It is a main ingredient in the formula Will Strengthener. This is a very important formula in the Chinese “Tantric” system since it unites and harmonizes Jing and Shen.
Sexual Tonic Formulations for Women
There are a number of products for women as well. Most products for women are more oriented to promoting hormonal balance that to stimulating libido. That is healthy. A woman who is hormonally harmonious and who is well treated will be the best lover. Herbs like Schizandra, Longan Fruit, Deer Antler, and Lycium are excellent for women. Woman can also use moderate amounts of Epimedium and Bulgarian Tribulus to increase libido and improve hormone balance. Epimedium and Tribulus both stimulate libido in women, but they must be used in the correct balance. Epimedium, in particular is effective. Many women feel that a combination of Schizandra and Lycium (Goji) makes them feel more sexually open and sensitive. Love Goddess Elixir is a blend of tonic herbs specifically designed to increase female libido. Magu’s Secret and Magu’s Treasure are superb women’s sex tonics, especially on a long term basis.
Sexual Tonic Formulations for Men
Many formulations have been developed over the centuries in Asia that have stood the test of time. These herbal formulations are all safe when used according to standard procedures and with common sense. In fact, they are extremely beneficial. The herbs and formulations are tonics, not medicine or drugs.
An example of a sexual tonic formula is Dragon Jing, an herbal combination that was first created for an emperor who had three thousand concubines! It is an extremely potent male-oriented sex tonic. It is the most powerful type of sexual tonic composed of tonic herbs. It is safe for healthy men who wish to increase their potency, or sexual capacity, but should not be used by men who experience hot conditions or by men who lack a ready and willing sexual partner. It contains deer antler, red Korean ginseng, and epimedium. A similar formula, known as Super Yang Jing, is available as a tincture (dropper bottle). Return to Youth Formula is a classic Yang tonic that has been used innumerable times to build inner power and sexual strength. Imperial Garden, which adds Cordyceps to Return to Youth Formula, and Supreme Creation, which adds Deer Antler and Red Ginseng to Return to Youth Formula, are more potent variants of Return to Youth Formula. Products containing Ant are powerful male sex tonics.
