Formula 2 (Simpler ED decoction; includes Cistanche)
Ingredients:
Epimedium (淫羊藿) 15 g
Goji berry (枸杞子) 15 g
Cistanche (肉苁蓉) 9 g
Polygonatum / Solomon's seal (黄精) 9 g
Use: Decoction (boil in water and drink).
Traditional indication: ED.
Why this "Cistanche formula" is simpler (for Western readers):
In TCM practice, Cistanche (Rou Cong Rong) is considered a strong, broad "kidney tonic"-often described as supporting yang while also moistening (i.e., less "drying/overheating" than some stimulatory herbs). Because it is seen as potent enough to contribute meaningful support on its own, folk recipes sometimes combine it with only 1–3 complementary herbs (e.g., Epimedium for "yang support," Goji for "essence/blood support," Polygonatum for "qi/yin nourishment").
This is also why Formula 2 can look "easier" than large, multi-herb tonic prescriptions: it aims for fewer ingredients, simpler preparation, while still relying on Cistanche as a key driver.

Formulas that contain Cistanche (肉苁蓉):
ED Formula 1 (complex, multi-herb; includes processed aconite)
ED Formula 2 (simple, 4-herb decoction)
Why the Cistanche formulas can be simpler:
Cistanche is traditionally regarded as strong enough as a core tonic, so it's often paired with only a small number of "supporting" herbs to balance the formula (e.g., libido/yang support, nourishment, fatigue support). That's why Western readers looking for "simpler preparation" will likely focus on Formula 2.
