Warm and tonify kidney yang, replenish essence and marrow. For failure to achieve erection with sore lower back and knees and cold limbs.
POINT SELECTION
RATIONALE
CV4 and GV4 are the principal points for warming original yang, front and back; BL23 and KI3 tonify the kidney; SP6 nourishes yin so that yang has a material base. The classical reasoning is that fire without substance cannot be sustained, which is why yin is treated alongside yang.
