Of course, righting the overall problem requires more time. Sometimes doctors of traditional Chinese medicine prescribe both C. sinensis and animal ingredients that are packed with male hormones, such as sea horses, horned toads, deer penises and deer antlers. By so doing, they treat both the symptom and the root cause.
當然這需要長時間的調養，有時，中醫師也會以冬蟲夏草搭配動物性的海馬、蛤蚧、鹿鞭、鹿茸等富含雄性荷爾蒙的藥材來搭配使用，以達到治本及治標的雙重效果。
