4. Classic Experience of Professor Zhu Liangchun for BPH

Professor Zhu Liangchun, a master of TCM, optimized the treatment of BPH with three core strategies:

(1) Tonify Qi + Resolve Stasis + Promote Urination

He replaced ginseng with Astragalus membranaceus and paired it with Herba Artemisiae Anomalae to strongly enhance Qi tonification, blood stasis resolution, and diuresis.

(2) Use Cistanche tubulosa to Regulate Yin‑Yang for Prostate Health

We upgraded Epimedium to Cistanche tubulosa extract-a TCM herb for BPH that:

Tonifies kidney Yang without dryness

Regulates Yin and Yang gently

Improves urinary tract function

Reduces prostate hyperplasia progress

Contains higher acteoside & phenylethanoid glycosides for better bioavailability

(3) Unblocking + Tonifying: Treat Both Root & Manifestation

BPH is a "blockage disorder", so pure tonification is not enough.Treatment must combine:

Warming and unblocking (for cold patterns)

Nourishing and clearing (for heat patterns)

Tonifying kidney and resolving stasis (for chronic cases)
