Acupuncture is Directly Connected to a Person’s Sexual Health

One of the best known Eastern and Chinese alternative treatments in the world for sexual health is acupuncture in Miami. This is so even if its procedures are not really understood very well by Western medicine. Acupuncture involves the insertion of hair-thin needles at specific spots in the body to help restore balance in the Yin and Yang of Qi (energy) and improve the flow of Qi and blood in the body in order to treat illness.

A sluggish or stagnant flow of Qi results in the disruption in the function of certain organs. It can lead to issues such as a poor sex life.

In Chinese medicine, the most important organ in sexuality is the kidney. The Chinese has given this organ a title: the gate of fire for the human body. If the Qi and blood flow to the kidney is blocked it can result in low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and difficulty in reaching orgasm.

The Chinese emperors were very fussy about their sex life. They commissioned medicine men and experts to conduct studies that would help them understand the flow of Qi. In this way, they were able to perfect the art of using acupuncture to address low libido and erectile dysfunction.

When an acupuncturist prepares a plan of treatment for a patient, he or she first conducts a diagnostic evaluation of the patient first in order to determine the spots or acupuncture points in which to stick the needles. The acupuncturist will need to check the patient’s blood pressure, blood sugar, pulse rate, and tongue. Besides these, the patient’s medical history needs to be reviewed as well.

The acupuncturist will also observe the patient’s symptoms to identify the part of the body where stagnation of blood and energy has occurred.

The needles are placed into the acupoints where it’s believed the circulation of energy is weak. These needles are left inserted in the body for around 30 – 45 minutes. In acupuncture treatment of sexual dysfunctions, acupoints near the kidney and sexual organs like the hips and stomach are selected. Also points remote from the problematic organ are sometimes used. They include acupoints in the legs, hands, and wrists to boost the flow of Qi and blood.

In the treatment of low libido, aromatherapy and/or Chinese herbal medicine is oftentimes combined with acupuncture. These modalities can provide resolutions for organic deficiencies. Patients who avail of acupuncture are also advised to perform regular exercises to help enhance the physical performance of their bodies.
