Deer penis

　　Deer penis refers to the external genitalia of deer, specifically the penis and testicles. It has effects such as nourishing kidney, enhancing yang, and benefiting essence. It can promote blood circulation and lactation, and is clinically used for conditions like strain injuries, soreness in the waist and knees, tinnitus due to kidney deficiency, impotence, and women's cold uterus infertility.

Deer penis (deer kidney) from Qinghai is made from the dried penis and testicles of wild deer species—such as red deer, white-lipped deer, and sika deer—that live in the cold, high-altitude mountainous areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Deer penis contains protein, fat, phytosteroid hormones, vitamin C, vitamin A, as well as minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and iron. It has the functions of nourishing kidney yang and enriching essence and blood, and is used for conditions such as strain injuries, soreness in the waist and knees, tinnitus due to kidney deficiency, impotence, cold uterus infertility, sexual dysfunction (including impotence and premature ejaculation caused by yang deficiency), as well as lumbar - leg pain. It also shows significant efficacy for women’s infertility and postpartum lack of lactation. In addition to its medicinal uses, deer penis is also a premium ingredient for meat dishes, and can be used for soaking in liquor, or cooked in soups with chicken, duck, goose, or fish, or prepared as part of high-end cuisine.
