DAAN Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture

Eating well and taking care of yourself can help with male impotence. In addition, here are some tips from Chinese medicine:

“Acupuncture Acupuncture has proven quite successful in the treatment of impotence. Typically, the Conception Vessel meridian is utilized, along with various bladder and spleen points, to improve the flow of chi to sexual organs. Stomach 36, Bladder 23, and TIiple Warmer 4 may also be included.

Acupressure Acupressure can help stimulate the sex drive and strengthen the kidneys which, in turn, may prevent impotence. Relevant acupoints include Conception Vessell, 2, 4 and 8; Governing Vessel 3 and 4, Spleen 6, Stomach 36, and Bladder 23.

Chinese Herbal Therapy Because impotence is viewed as being caused by a kidney deficiency, herbs may be prescribed to strengthen that organ and improve the flow of energy along the kidney meridian.

The aptly named herb horny goat weed has been shown in studies to increase semen secretion and stimulate the male sex drive; it is most potent if steeped in spirits for three months and then taken as a tonic liquor.

Lycium Combination and Golden Book Tea are commonly prescribed Chinese patent medicines that also claim to boost libido.”

DAAN carries a number of men’s health products.

Psychiatrists in Taiwan are working to bridge the gap between western and traditional Chinese medicine

“The Taipei City Chinese Medicine Association, in association with the department of psychiatry at National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), held a conference in Taipei yesterday on psychiatric medicine designed to give Chinese medicine practitioners a Western perspective on mental illnesses.

The conference is the first in a series to “build bridges” between traditional and Western medicine, the conference’s organizers said.

Western medical diagnoses of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, oppressive-compulsive disorder and anorexia nervosa do not have equivalents in Chinese medicine. However, it is important for practitioners of Chinese medicine to know and recognize the disorders, psychiatrists who spoke at the conference told an audience of Chinese medicine practitioners, who also gained some education credits necessary for them to be able renew their licenses with the Department of Health.”

Does your pet have stagnant Qi? Then acupuncture is the answer
“Henry and Randy are big old cats that are trapped, like all of us, in a futile battle against time. Henry has a sore mouth and a slowly failing immune system. Randy has a nasty case of arthritis.

For Pam Miller of Manteca, who owns the two cats, a trip to the vet used to be a nightmarish experience, marked by frenzied escape attempts and nervous urinations. It was common for Miller to drive to the vet’s office as the two cats knelt in their carrying cages and — seemingly knowing where they were headed — howled in despair.”

Truth about Acupuncture

“Almost everyone remembers getting shots as a child — the dreaded doctor visits that were never quite exonerated by that lollypop at the end. They were painful, they bled, they made you want to cry.

It’s understandable why many people harbor a fear of needles, and it’s even more understandable why many Americans are iffy when it comes to medical practices like acupuncture.

The good news is that acupuncture isn’t only about skin pricks, and the even better news is that acupuncture needles are neither thick nor hypodermic; they are considerably thinner than a sewing needle, thinner than tattoo needles, so thin in fact that you can spring them back and forth as you would a cat whisker.”

China’s spas boom
“ALONG the Shanghai street, choking haze draped the buildings and gridlocked traffic like a damp blanket. Vendors screamed out prices for water and postcards, and pedestrians hacked into handkerchiefs and covered their faces with masks. Construction workers in torn, dirty jeans bored a hole into the sidewalk, geysering dirt everywhere.

But inside Three on the Bund, overlooking this chaos from a restored 1916 structure that once housed the Mercantile Bank of India, China’s urgency and insanity seemed far away. In the cavernous front room of the Evian Spa by Three, which rises several stories and lets in beams of light from its portholelike windows, the only noise was the tinkling of soft music. Spa attendants led guests past polished wood Chinese sculptures and into private rooms, where they could wallow in giant bathtubs and choose from an exhaustive menu of rubs and facials.”

The incidence of chronic fatigue syndrome among Chinese office workers is rising at an alarming rate.

Ancient Chinese remedies are used for treating fatigue

“Zhang Qian reports on how Traditional Chinese Medicine fights the condition.

It’s said that the morning scene at a Metro station is the best image of Shanghai as a busy modern city. The long-term stress of a busy work life can break the balance in a human body easily and result in various fatigue illnesses.

Eye strain and neck ache are common illnesses among office workers as their jobs require long-term concentration on the computer screens while sitting still at the desks.”

A trip to Boston’s historic Chinatown

“There are plenty of organized trips to neighborhoods such as Beacon Hill and the North End, but Chinatown has yet to be explored by many Boston residents, who only think of the neighborhood as a place to stop for dinner.

Of the many packages being offered by the new InterContinental Hotel, one caught our eye: a culinary weekend with a personalized tour of Boston’s Chinatown led by someone “in the know.”

Presumably, the weekend hotel package, which costs about $1,000 is meant for out-of-towners, but we wondered, who was this insider? What secrets did he/she know about the neighborhood behind the big gate? Are there hidden treasures or little-known attractions that await?”

Acupuncture proves to be an effective treament for two individuals

“CHAPEL HILL - Right around Halloween two years ago I (along with my 10-year old cocker spaniel Max) proved the laughingstock of just about everyone we knew outside of the San Francisco Bay Area where we then lived. Why?

After our regular veterinarian diagnosed Max with a spinal rupture, the treatment plan outlined was straightforward — if over-the-top expensive. Immediate spinal surgery. Price tag: $4,000.A”
