action. The effects on seminal emission, frequency of urination
and leukorrhea of Cornus fruit is believe to be gained through the
nervous--muscular system. Throughout Chinese history, most Chinese
emperors lived a relatively short life, partly because of their
involvements in hectic politics and partly because of their excessive
indulgence in sex. However, an emperor named Qian Long of the Chin
Dynasty (1644-1911) was recorded to have lived the longest life
of all the Chinese emperors prior to his time, dying at the age
of 90. Many Chinese physicians have attributed Qian Long’s
longevity to his regular consumption of many herbs, but most notably,
cornel fruit and morinda root. A very famous herbal formula, Rehmannia
Six combination, contains mainly Cornel fruit.
