Although ancient herbalists may not have precisely known the internal anatomy of the male genitalia, they identified the physiological relationship between the penis, the prostate gland and the testicles whose mutual interaction is imperative for the development of healthy sexuality and fertility. Sperm is transported within a lubricating substance, the spermatic fluid, from the testicles to the prostate via internal ducts called the epididymis and vas deferens. When the spermatic fluid reaches the region of the prostate, it is mixed with nutrient rich secretions from the seminal vesical and the prostate gland itself. The function of the prostate, together with the seminal vesicle, is to pump the fertile mixture of sperm and fluids into the penis during orgasm and ejaculation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach of the Five Viscera plays its own role in sexuality from the moment of arousal through the orgasmic consummation of intercourse. Preeminent are the Kidney and Liver: the Kidney supplies primal motivation (desire to perpetuate life) and essential ingredients (fertile fluids), while the Liver mobilizes (facilitates arousal) and implements the act itself (erection, penetration and ejaculation) via its external meridian pathway that courses through the perineum, testicles and penis.

And because it is affected by heat released from the bladder through the urine as well as the heat generated by sexual arousal and intercourse, it is equally prone to the development and retention of Heat, Damp Heat and Blood stasis. Via the Liver meridian, these changes can be transmitted to the testicles as well. On the other hand, weakness of the Kidney and Liver Qi can lead to Coldness and stasis within the penis and testicles that may eventually engender Dampness, Damp Heat, Phlegm and Blood stagnation within the prostate gland itself. By dispersing stagnations within the seminal and urinary streams, the healthy function of the prostate gland is supported, freeing the mind from worry and securing the night for uninterrupted sleep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnlocking the Gate \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003esupports the functions that govern and are governed by the urogenital system: namely, to facilitate the flow and discharge of fluids, to support the circulation of Qi and Blood, to eliminate Heat and Dampness, to reinforce Qi and to conserve the body’s Vital Essence \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(\u003cem\u003eJing\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 67\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRATIONALE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 67\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaw palmetto fruit has long been recognized within the Western herbal tradition as beneficial for the health of urogenital organs, especially the prostate gland.
