What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction, otherwise known as ED, is a condition where men have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. It is a common condition that occurs in men over 40. There are abundant drugs available to help men with erectile dysfunction, but only the acupuncture erectile dysfunction treatment can treat the root cause and help truly heal the condition.
Acupuncture Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
In Chinese medicine, sexual function issues involve the Kidneys. However, when we talk about organ function in Chinese medicine, there is not always a direct correlation to the Western “anatomical” organs as we are taught in school. Chinese medicine was developed thousands of years ago based on observation of how the body works. So just because you have erectile dysfunction, and therefore a Kidney deficiency in Chinese medicine terms, there is probably nothing wrong with your Western medicine kidneys.
That being said, if you have erectile dysfunction, there is clearly something wrong with your Chinese medicine Kidney function. And that is exactly what acupuncture is going to address when you come for erectile dysfunction treatment.
Why You?
Kidney function declines naturally with age. So if you have had normal sexual function your whole life and now, in your late seventies you are starting to have erectile dysfunction, that’s a normal result of the aging process. However, if you are in your forties and start having erectile dysfunction, this decline in Kidney function is not normal, and intervention is appropriate.
There are three primary reasons why men in their forties, fifties and sixties develop erectile dysfunction.
Reason #1
The first reason is stress. If you are either subject to trauma or live with a very high degree of stress in your daily life, it can often result in damage to your Kidney function. In these cases, the acupuncture erectile dysfunction treatment addresses both the stress in your body along with strengthening your Kidneys.
When we treat the stress function, our focus is not to necessarily reduce your stress levels. We have no control over those. However, we can address how your body responds to stress, making you better able to handle stress without it taking a toll on your body. At the same time we need to strengthen your Kidneys to reverse the damage that has occurred. The result is improvement in your erectile dysfunction.
Reason #2
The second reason for erectile dysfunction is constitutional. If you inherited weaker Kidney function from your parents then you may have naturally weaker Kidney function yourself. Inherited organ function in Chinese medicine is similar to inherited DNA is Western medical terms. In this case, the acupuncture erectile dysfunction treatment will focus on boosting your Kidney function.
While we cannot change your DNA, we can influence Kidney function that is sustained day to day. All organ function is based on what we originally inherited, plus our daily maintenance. Diet, exercise and acupuncture can all help boost Kidney function in this way.
Reason #3
The third common reason for erectile dysfunction is if the person used excessive drugs and alcohol when they were in their twenties and thirties. This behavior has a tendency to rapidly deplete Kidney essence, the part of Kidney function that was inherited from our parents. It’s like burning the candle at both ends, where the candle gets used up faster.
In this case, the acupuncture erectile dysfunction treatment is less successful in restoring sexual function. However, there are cases in these situations were some sexual function can be restored.
