Jiexiu Deer Antler

　　Jiexiu deer antler holds a significant position in traditional Chinese medicine. It is classified as a tonic herb, used to nourish kidney meridians, strengthen primordial yang, generate essence, and fortify bones and tendons. It is primarily indicated for conditions such as deficiency of primordial yang, aversion to cold and weakness, flaccidity in the limbs, kidney yang insufficiency, nocturnal emission and frequent urination, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, dizziness and blurred vision, soreness and pain in the lower back and knees, congenital weakness, and uterine bleeding or leukorrhea. Deer antler has notable therapeutic effects for men suffering from nocturnal emission, seminal emission, dizziness and tinnitus, decreased libido, a haggard appearance, insomnia and forgetfulness, dry throat and night sweats, and poor appetite; for women, it helps with physical weakness, blood stasis, bone steaming and tidal fever, cold uterus and infertility, abdominal distension and pain during menstruation, early or late menstrual periods, excessively heavy or light menstrual flow, abnormal menstrual color (either pale or purplish-black), leukorrhea, red discharge, menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, fainting due to blood loss, and emotional stagnation. The deer antler industry in Yushe has a history of over 20 years. Originally, there was only one deer farm operated by the county medicinal materials company, but it has now expanded to 10 farms, raising a total of more than 300 deer, with an annual production of 250 kilograms of “velvet,” making it a promising farming industry and an important source of this valuable medicinal material.
