Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Ba Ji Tian (Morinda officinalis) has a long-standing history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as an herb that supports sexual health and addresses low sex drive (libido). In TCM, Ba Ji Tian is considered a "yang tonic," believed to tonify the kidney yang, which is associated with vitality, sexual function, and reproductive health. Historical texts and Chinese pharmacopeias describe its use for symptoms such as impotence, infertility, and reduced libido, often as part of multi-herb formulas rather than as a single agent.

Scientific research on Ba Ji Tian's effects on sex drive in humans is limited and mostly preliminary. Some animal studies suggest that extracts of Morinda officinalis may increase testosterone levels, improve sperm parameters, or enhance sexual behavior in rats, but these findings have not been consistently replicated in well-designed human clinical trials. There is a lack of high-quality, peer-reviewed clinical evidence directly validating its efficacy for treating low sex drive in people. As a result, its use for this purpose is primarily justified by traditional usage rather than robust scientific validation, earning it a moderate evidence rating based on tradition alone.
