387.1 Deer Antler
Slightly fishy taste, but not hard to drink.
After drinking, there is a tingling sensation on the back, starting from the upper thoracic vertebrae, tingling up to near the occipital bone, a fullness sensation on the yang side of the upper arms and thighs, and a warm sensation in the Dantian.
Effects: Unblocks the Du Mai (Governor Vessel), strengthens muscles and bones, warms Yang, consolidates essence.
387.2 Deer Antler Frost
Drinking it feels cooling, with a taste stronger than deer antler slices.
After drinking, the overall feeling is similar to deer antler, but obviously colder, with a stronger astringent and consolidating effect. However, its astringency is not just about constriction, but “restoring everything to its proper place.” For example, after drinking Deer Antler Frost, the residual nasal mucus in my nasal passages immediately became thinner and flowed back down the posterior nasal passage into the stomach.
Effects: Unblocks the Du Mai, astringes and consolidates essence, stops bleeding.
387.3 Deer Antler Gel
Various deer products naturally have different effects, but in actual clinical practice, many doctors prescribe Deer Antler Frost for less wealthy patients as a cost-effective substitute for deer velvet, while wealthier individuals get deer velvet or Deer Antler Gel directly (deer velvet is not covered by medical insurance, but Deer Antler Gel is).
Like Ejiao (donkey-hide gelatin), after being made into a “gel,” the more important function is the “adhesive” effect, not just nutritional supplementation.
The taste is hard to describe, slightly fishy, somewhat sticky, slightly irritating to the throat, but overall not unpleasant.
After drinking, the adhesive sensation starts under the jaw and slowly drips downward. If we say Ying Qi (nutritive qi) breathes and moves at six cun (2.5cm/second), then under the adhesion of Deer Antler Gel, the originally fast Wei Qi (defensive qi) slows to about 0.1cm/second, barely reaching the Tian Tu point after three minutes.
At the same time, the characteristics of the deer antler itself continue to play a role: the front Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) slowly descends, and the back Du Mai (Governor Vessel) slowly ascends. It is expected to arrive at the Dantian after about an hour, enhancing the body’s adhesion to Jing essence.
Therefore, Royal Jelly and Rehmannia products combined with Deer Antler Gel can produce an in-depth nourishing effect of “slow and meticulous work.”
Effects: Warms and nourishes the Ren and Du Mai, warms Yang, consolidates essence.
PS: Within about 2 hours after taking Deer Antler Gel, all Wei Qi is used for repairing bodily damage, with basically no external defensive function; moreover, Ying and Wei Qi circulation becomes disordered (Ying Qi moves faster than Wei Qi, with Wei Qi unable to keep up, being overtaken several times by Ying Qi). After the drug effect ends, Ying and Wei Qi coupling is reestablished—the duration varies by person; the weaker the Wei Qi, the longer it is forcibly controlled.
