Optimizing Your Sexual Health with Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years and has recently made its way to mainstream medicine.

TCM focuses on treating your body as a whole, rather than treating a specific problem. TCM uses various forms of natural remedies such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, exercise and dietary changes.

One of the most common remedies practiced from TCM is acupuncture. Acupuncture is used to stimulate specific points on your body by inserting long, thin needles through your skin. Acupuncture is most commonly used for treating chronic pain. However, did you know that acupuncture and other TCM methods have been used to help treat sexual health issues?

According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 40 million American women are affected by female sexual dysfunction.
