🌿 Folk Prescriptions

Dietary regulation of sexual function is no longer rare. However, different countries adopt different dietary practices. Let’s explore what people around the world eat to enhance sexual function.
Even in ancient Rome, people discovered fish could effectively treat dry skin and was an ideal food for increasing libido, especially shark meat, long regarded as a sexual catalyst.
French people generally enjoy drinking celery chocolate soup.
Spaniards consider chocolate a stimulant for sensuality. They believe the energy and stimulating substances in chocolate increase metabolic activity.
Eggs are carriers of human sexual function and the best supplement for restoring vitality after intercourse.
Arabs traditionally eat fried eggs with onions in the days leading up to their wedding to ensure a satisfying sexual experience on their wedding night.
Indian doctors recommend couples drink a rice porridge made from eggs, milk, and honey before sex.
In China, there is a folk tradition of frying eggs before the wedding banquet. Since newlyweds often engage in frequent intercourse, leading to significant physical exhaustion, eating eggs helps restore energy.
Comprehensive List of Libido-Enhancing Foods
Fresh prawns and sparrow meat are both considered kidney-tonifying foods in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Their ability to nourish the kidneys and enhance yang has long been recognized, warming the body, boosting energy, and especially beneficial for those with low libido or weakened sexual function.
Snake – recently, many people have become fond of eating snakes because snakes can maintain mating for extended periods—up to 6–24 hours in some species like vipers.
It’s not only animal-based foods that enhance sexual performance; some seemingly ordinary foods also help. For example, scallions can promote secretion of sex hormones. Leeks, known as "arousal grass," are a vigorous-growing plant, and their name suggests they enhance sexual function.
Sunflower seeds are a traditional yang-strengthening food, especially effective for men experiencing fatigue or anemia, or those with weak erection power. Sunflower seeds can be eaten directly or added to porridge; just a small amount daily suffices.
Dried longan flesh, also known as dragon eye, strengthens the body and enhances libido for both men and women with weak constitutions.
Many believe that consistent consumption of these foods will yield the desired results.
