Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

戊戌酒, 治婦人久冷無子, 飮之最驗<span class='sochu'>方見雜方</span>. 雀肉久食, 令人有子. 《本草》男子無嗣者, 多灸臍中, 有效. 《綱目》

Translation

Musul Wine treats a woman long cold and without child; drinking it is most proven <span class='sochu'>formula in the Miscellaneous Formulas chapter</span>. Sparrow flesh eaten over a long period makes a person have children. Where a man is without offspring, much moxa at the navel is effective. — Boncho 本草 · Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Three items with nothing in common but their purpose — a medicinal wine sent to another chapter, a food, and a moxa point. 男子無嗣者 — where a man is without offspring — is the only line in this section that treats the husband, and it prescribes moxa at the navel. That the chapter says so at all is worth noting; its other twenty conception formulas are all for the woman. **Infertility requires investigation of both partners.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
