Men’s Health Issues!

When it comes to their health, some men probably wouldn’t look at acupuncture as a first option for improving their health. The fact is, acupuncture is a great way to improve men’s health, especially as they get older. Here is a look at five of the unique health issues that can help improve men’s health:

1. Prostatitis
2. Impotence
3. Low libido
4. Premature ejaculation
5. Infertility

If we look at most of the men’s health issues, they are related to the Kidney and an imbalance of Yin and Yang in their body. When the Kidney energy becomes weak, it cannot support the whole body optimally. When one organ goes out of balance others follow like a domino effect. Either by poor diet or other lifestyle choices or even simply by aging, our Yin and Yang can become deficient or imbalanced. The great news is all of these are treatable through Traditional Chinese Medicine, which includes Acupuncture, herbal medicine, Moxibustion, Exercises like Tai Chi or Qi Gong, and Cupping.

Other patterns afflicting men are blood stagnation and the accumulation of phlegm. Accumulation of phlegm can often come first through suppression of emotion, poor diet, and possible drug use over prolonged periods. Phlegm accumulation leads to blockages in the qi flow throughout the system which can lead to Yin and Yang deficiencies and as one advance in age blood stagnation increases.
