Acupuncture and TCM to treat Male Infertility

Chinese medicine has a long history of focusing treatment on male sexual health and has broad applications including the treatment of male disorders.
A new study reported in the latest issue of Fertility & Sterility showed that acupuncture significantly improved both sperm count and quality in men with infertility of unknown cause.

When it comes to treatment, acupuncture is used to restore hormone balance, reduce the effects of emotional disturbances and stress, and help to kick-start the reproductive functions of the kidneys, and to help the body purge itself of toxins. It harnesses the body’s own energy to encourage the body to heal itself.

Herbal medicine is considered to be the internal aspect of the medicine, because it adds substances to the body rather than just working with the body’s inherent energy. It provides powerful but safe substances that stimulate reproductive hormones, detoxify, and nourish that which is deficient.
