Men’s Health

 

Chinese medicine is famous for its ability to enhance male reproductive function and increase vitality. Historically, male sexual function was associated with strength and power in Ancient China. Therefore, influential men always looked for new ways to improve their health which led to the development of very effective Chinese Medical protocols for men’s reproductive function. Kidney organ system weakness can lead to reduced stamina and low libido as well as erectile dysfunction. In younger men, same symptoms may rise from damp-heat accumulation in the lower abdomen. It can be translated into high cholesterol, low-grade inflammation, and poor circulation in the area. Regular acupuncture treatments, herbal remedies, along with positive changes in ones diet can help increase sexual desire and performance. Chinese medicine also successfully treats most prostate issues and other causes of frequent urination, excessive urination at night, dribbling urination, urgency, incontinence or incomplete sensation.

Men’s Infertility

 

For more than 2 millenniums Chinese Medicine successfully treated male infertility. Fast forward to modern times, men are in need of fertility treatments more than ever before. According to the World Health Organization, in 1980 men had to have 80.5% normal sperm to be considered fertile, in 1987 the number dropped down to 50%, 5 years later it became 30%, in year 2010 men had to have 4% normal looking sperm to pass a fertility test. This decrease is very concerning. Toxicity and stress of the modern world has a direct impact on our fertility. Unfortunately, having poor quality sperm does not just define how long it will take for a couple to get pregnant but it also affects the development of an embryo, miscarriage rates and the health of the future child. Statistically 1/3 cases of infertility is due to female factor, another 1/3 is due to male factor and last 1/3 is due to both, male infertility accounts for 50% of the cases. That is why we highly encourage our fertility patients to come in for a treatment together. Good news is that sperm is highly reactive to whatever is going on in the body and bounces right back after positive changes in a lifestyle. At Mulberry Leaf, we look at every man differently and tailor treatments to the individual needs. We combine Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, nutrition and supplements to improve men’s vitality. Recent studies show good results in the treatment of male infertility with Acupuncture and Herbs.
