Is cupping effective for treating impotence?

As the work pressure of people in modern society increases, male friends who shoulder the responsibility of supporting their families often stay up late to work overtime to get higher pay in order to make their families live a more affluent life. Over time, their bodies will show some sub-health conditions. Among them, impotence will also occur from time to time. So is cupping effective in treating impotence? In response to this question, let us learn about it together in the following time.

1. Deficiency

(I) Symptoms

Difficulty in erection, frequent ejaculation, thin and cold semen, dizziness, tinnitus, involuntary rapid heartbeat, feeling of insufficient air intake, pale complexion, lack of energy, sore waist and knees, chills and cold limbs.

(II) Governing Law

1. Method 1

(1) Select acupoints: Shenshu, Qihai, Guanyuan, and Yinlingquan.

(2) Locate Shenshu: On the lower back, 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra [the second lumbar vertebra is the point corresponding to the middle of the navel, and the acupuncture point is about 2 horizontal fingers (index and middle fingers) away from the lower edge of the spinous process, see Figure 3-8-1].

Qihai: In the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, 1.5 inches below the umbilicus (see Figure 2-18-1).

Guanyuan: In the lower abdomen, on the anterior median line, 3 inches below the umbilicus. (See Figure 2-18-1).

Yinlingquan: On the inner side of the calf, in the depression below and behind the medial condyle of the tibia [sit and push upward along the inner edge of the medial calf bone (inside tibia) with your thumb until the thumb reaches below the knee joint. The depression where the tibia bends inward and upward is the acupuncture point, Figure 3-10-2].

(3) Cupping method: First, apply the cupping cup to the above-mentioned acupoints and leave the cups for 10 minutes. After removing the cups, use moxa sticks to burn and warm each acupoint for 15 minutes until the skin feels warm. This is done once a day, and 10 times constitutes a course of treatment.

2. Method 2

(1) Select acupoints: Xinshu, Mingmen, Guanyuan, Zhongji, and Sanyinjiao.

(2) Locate Xinshu: On the back, 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the 5th thoracic vertebra (from the vertebra at the lower corner of the shoulder blades (the 7th thoracic vertebra), push up 2 vertebrae, that is, the lower edge of the spinous process of the 5th thoracic vertebra, about 2 horizontal fingers (index and middle fingers) away from the acupoint, see Figure 4-1-1).

Mingmen: On the waist, on the posterior midline, in the depression below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra. [In prone position, on the waist, on the posterior midline opposite to the umbilicus is the acupoint location, see Figure 4-1-1].

Guan Yuan: See above.

Midpoint: In the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, 4 inches below the umbilicus

Sanyinjiao: On the inner side of the calf, 3 inches above the tip of the inner ankle, behind the inner edge of the tibia (put the four fingers together, with the lower edge of the little finger close to the tip of the inner ankle and the upper edge of the index finger at the intersection of the posterior edge of the tibia, which is the acupuncture point, see Figure 3-10-2).

(3) Cupping method: First, apply the cupping cup to the above-mentioned acupoints, leaving the cups for 10 minutes. After removing the cups, use moxa sticks to burn and warm each acupoint for 15 minutes until the skin feels warm. This is done once a day, and 10 times constitutes a course of treatment.

I believe that through the above learning, the majority of friends have a deeper understanding and more accurate conclusion on the question of whether cupping is effective in treating impotence. In fact, what I want to tell you is that the occurrence of impotence is not something that makes people feel embarrassed, so male friends must not cover up when facing its occurrence, but actively treat it.
