Qualities
Cnidium seed has been very commonly used in formulations designed to warm the Kidneys and strengthen Yang energy. It is primarily used for the purpose of overcoming sexual malaise and strengthening sexual potency. The classics repeatedly mention it as an aphrodisiac. It was used almost routinely in imperial formulas designed specifically for the emperor. Cnidium seed was often used in combination with Cuscuta in aphrodisiac formulations, since the two herbs are believed to work synergistically together and to enhance one another. It is also used to increase fertility in both men and women. Cnidium has some astringent quality, which means that it will help prevent premature ejaculation in men. Furthermore, Cnidium seed has disinfectant qualities and may be used externally as a wash on sores, particularly in the genital region.

Primary Combinations
Combine with:

1. Cuscuta and Schizandra to treat infertility, impotence and premature ejaculation

Fresh seed with an aroma is best.
