Anyone know anything about this TCM decoction (aka Two Immortals)? Could it provide an alternative to HCG as part of a TRT protocol?

Since the articles indicate that Erxian Decoction increases LH and FSH production, the question I have would be mechanism of action.
For example, does it act as a weak estrogen or does it act as an aromatase enzyme inhibitor. These mechanisms would explain why it increases LH and FSH, leading to an increase in testicular hormone production.
If either of these mechanisms are in play, then Erxian Decoction is most similar to Tamoxifen or Arimidex rather than HCG (which directly acts like LH).
Both Tamoxifen and Arimidex are options in raising testosterone production.
