Chinese Name驴肾
PinyinLv Shen

Modern Research Perspective

Published modern evidence for Donkey Testis as a distinct medicinal material is very limited. Preliminary nutritional or animal-derived tissue research cannot establish specific pharmacological effects, dosing, or human therapeutic benefit.

Authentication, infectious and contaminant control, endocrine effects, allergy, interactions, ethical sourcing, and long-term safety require rigorous evaluation before clinical claims can be made.

Traditional Function

Donkey Testis is traditionally used as a warm, nourishing animal-derived material for Kidney deficiency and reproductive weakness in certain regional practices. Its use is highly source- and pattern-dependent and should not be generalized from the common name.
