Herbal formulae in Taoist Alchemy

[Blasphemy666]

I've been reading a really interesting book called, Martial Esoterica. By:
Thomas R. Joiner.
Its about Qi Gong and Taoist Alchemy.
It talks about sexual conservation practices (ancient nofap) , Eastern Occult Sciences, and has some herbal fourmulas for abstinence/ rebuilding the Vital energies, etc.
There have been some good discussions in the forums about the role Jing has in nofap and the role of the kidneys and the "Ming Men".
Does anybody have experience in the use of formulae such as Golden Lock tea
(jin suo gu jing) "to restrain sexual urges",
Or Four gentlemen Decoction (si jun zi tang) "to replenish or increase the vital energies" ?

Sounds cool.

I am well versed in conservation, never needed any magic herbs / teas. Sounds expensive. But certainly, things that are stimulating and arousing make the practice 100 times more difficult. So anything relaxing would be beneficial. I like chamomile. Peppermint is nice while awake without being too over the top. I avoid all caffeine and alcohol. Nothing like the 'try and see' method if you are curious.
