MEN'S HEALTH
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have provided safe and effective solutions
to male health issues for over 2000 years. Oriental Medicine can address the
following issues by harmonizing the body, leading to a healthier, more vibrant
life:
Sperm Quality/Count
Nearly half of all infertility cases are contributed by male infertility. The three factors that lead to male fertility are sperm count, motility (movement) and morphology (shape and size). Varicocele can also be addressed with Chinese Medicine. From an Oriental Medicine perspective, improving male reproductive health is achieved by tonifying the kidney meridian, unblocking energy and blood circulation, and increasing the immune system and virility. Source Healing has experience treating these issues. Because it takes 70 days to generate new sperm, treatment time is approximately 3 months with acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nutritional counseling and lifestyle shifts.
Erectile Dysfunction
A common condition among men is Erectile Dysfunction (ED). ED includes the lack of erection, sustaining an erection, or both. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs are effective treatments for erectile dysfunction by increasing the body’s flow of Qi and strengthening the kidneys. Treatments also focus on addressing stress and depression associated with ED.
Testicular Pain
Symptoms of painful or swollen testicles can indicate a block of Qi in the liver channel. Chinese medicine unblocks the energy to reduce swelling and pain.
Prostate Health
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is the medical term for the enlarged prostate gland. It starts for most men in their forties, and becomes more prevalent by the time men reach their 60s. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help decrease inflammation, increase urinary flow and function by stimulating the immune system of the reproductive system. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be used in both the acute phase and as a preventative measure.
Urination Discomfort
Painful urination can be the result of blocked qi or inflammation. Acupuncture treatments and herbs naturally unblock stagnation and reduce inflammation.
