Hunan Materia Medica introduces: "To treat nocturnal emission: cook three ginkgo nuts with wine and eat for four to five days." Professor Ye Juquan of China Pharmaceutical University has two experiences. One is to use 10 grams of ginkgo kernels, stir-fry them, boil them in water, add sugar, and eat them with the soup, or stir-fry them, dry them, grind them into powder and take them. The second method is to use 2 to 3 raw ginkgo kernels, grind them into powder, take another egg, make a small hole in it, stuff the ginkgo powder into the egg, seal it with paper, steam it in a rice cooker, and eat 1 to 2 eggs a day.
