Medicinal Value and Processing Methods of Snake Penis
Snake penis is the reproductive organ of the male snake. A complete set of snake penis includes two gonadal testes and two hemipenes, and it contains components such as male hormones and proteins. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is the theory of "tonifying an organ with a corresponding organ, seeking the same qi." According to determinations by relevant scientific research departments, the kidney-tonifying substances contained in snake penis are 10% higher than those in deer penis, and more than about 30% higher than those in sea dog kidney and dog kidney. Snake penis has the functions of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang, warming the middle and calming the organs, and can treat impotence, kidney deficiency, tinnitus, chronic orchitis, and cold womb infertility in women. If snake penis is further combined with other tonic Chinese medicines, the medicinal effect will be even better, and it can play a role in nourishing blood and essence. It is effective for infertility caused by low semen volume or low sperm content, poor survival rate, and low motility in men, as well as for infertility caused by female endocrine disorders, poor ovulation, secondary amenorrhea, and scanty menstruation, with an effective rate as high as 92.5%. At present, "snake penis pills" and "snake penis powder" made with snake penis as a raw material have begun to be put on the market in Hong Kong, China and abroad, and are deeply welcomed by patients.
