September Is Sexual Health Awareness Month - Men's Health Edition
September Is Sexual Health Awareness Month
A Time to Reclaim, Restore, and Reconnect to Your Sexual Wellness
Sexual health is a critical component of total wellness—but for many, it remains a hidden struggle. At Box Acupuncture in San Jose, we use a whole-body Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach—combining acupuncture, dry needling, herbal medicine, and lifestyle coaching—to support sexual wellness for men.
Whether you're navigating stress-related performance issues or hormone imbalances, September is the perfect time to take action.
Top 5 Men’s Sexual Health Concerns (and How TCM Can Help)
1. Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
TCM View: Often linked to Kidney Yang Deficiency or Liver Qi stagnation.
Treatment: Acupuncture restores circulation and balances hormones. Dry needling addresses pelvic floor tightness that restricts blood flow.
Herbs: Yin Yang Huo (Epimedium), Ba Ji Tian, and Gou Qi Zi support yang and vitality.
2. Low Libido
Causes: Stress, adrenal fatigue, poor sleep, and emotional stagnation.
Treatment: Needling points like Ren 4 and Du 4 strengthen core vitality. Herbal formulas like Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan rebuild energy.
Bonus: Red light therapy improves mitochondrial output and testosterone production.
3. Premature Ejaculation
TCM Explanation: Often linked to disharmony of the Heart and Kidney.
Treatment: Focused electro-acupuncture calms overactive sympathetic nerves. Qi Gong-based breathwork is taught to help patients rewire their parasympathetic system.

Approach: Dry needling of pelvic trigger points (levator ani, obturator internus) combined with herbal anti-inflammatory formulas.
Herbs: Pu Gong Ying, Huang Qin, and Bai Hua She She Cao for heat and dampness.
