Lu Rong has been found in clinical trials to increase testosterone
production. It works powerfully to tonify the yang hormones of
the body. It is sweet, salty, and warm. Lu Rong enters the liver
and kidney systems to improve a low functioning endocrine
system.

Lu Rong acts on the adrenal glands and the gonads to strengthen
the tendons, ligaments, and improve developmental delays when
related to poor endocrine function.
Prescribing too much Lu Rong too soon can result in the liver
yang rising with symptoms of dizziness, red eyes, and possibly
hypertension.
