Improve sperm quality and mobility with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The first step to find out if a man has an infertility problem is to perform a semenogram. Surely the name sounds familiar to you or you have heard of this test. This test involves obtaining a semen sample to analyse various parameters, including concentration, mobility, and morphology of the sperm . In most cases, the semenogram is enough to detect any alteration.

On the other hand, 15% of infertile men have a semen analysis with “normal” seminal values according to the World Health Organisation, the reason is that in addition to the alterations in the parameters assessed by the semenogram, other factors can also cause infertility, such as the existence of hormonal imbalances, testicular problems such as varicocele, reproductive dysfunctions (absence or obstruction of a duct) or diseases that affect sperm production.

The good news is that Traditional Chinese Medicine has been helping couples with herbs to improve sperm quality and mobility , also Acupuncture has been demonstrated to help in problems like varicocele.

If your pain or illness has been there for less than one week, 1 to 3 sessions will be enough , but if your pain has been for more than a few months or years, you will need more acupuncture sessions. Also, it could be that a change of habits is required, such as a balanced diet, etc.

The sessions are divided into 3 phases: Relief, Corrective, and Maintenance, and you should know what the phases are for.

So depending on the vitality and lifestyle of each person, you would need more frequent treatments. This phase could be from two acupuncture sessions to more until you are free of pain or not anxiety during the week.

Corrective:

This is the second stage, where there is no longer any pain or symptoms present; in this phase, the acupuncturist will treat the underlying issue or root of the problem .

Our biological clock in traditional Chinese medicine

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 16:08:49 GMT

According to Chinese medicine, what happens 24 hours a day, our emotions and recommendations.

The biological clock in traditional Chinese medicine indicates the most active meridian during a specific period, which is 12 periods and corresponds to the 12 main meridians of our body. Acupuncture balances these meridians, so this clock is also used to know what time is better to balance which organ.

These 12 meridians are classified as Yin (Female) & Yang (Male).

The Yin meridians are Lung, Pericardium, Heart, Liver, Bay, and Kidney.

The Yang meridians are the Stomach, Gall Bladder, Bladder, Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and triple burner

The imbalance in one meridian can cause an imbalance in another meridian. Below we will detail the time zone of each meridian and some recommendations.

According to Chinese medicine, from 01:00 to 3:00 in the morning corresponds to the meridian of the liver . The important function of the liver is to remove toxins and create new blood. If you wake up during this time, the meridian in disharmony is the liver, which usually the person will have stress or get angry easily. Also, in Chinese medicine, it is said that the liver is in charge of the correct functioning of sinews; in terms of Est medicine, that means the ligaments and tendons. It is recommended to detox from alcohol, spicy food, etc

From 3:00 in the morning to 5:00, there is the lung meridian; if you wake up during this time, it could be great sadness or grief ; breathing deeply to oxygenate the body is recommended. This meridian is considered the beginning of Qi since when breathing oxygenates the body, creating the energy that will travel in our bodies; it is worth mentioning that the lung meridian imbalance is also attributed to when our skin is not healthy.

From 5:00 in the morning to 7:00 , the active meridian is the Large Intestine , whose function is elimination and evacuation. Here it is recommended to drink water to detoxify and be able to evacuate quickly ; sadness also affects the large intestine.

The active meridian is the stomach from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning. This period is essential because the body takes the nutrients for functioning, which is why a good breakfast is necessary . Also, the unprocessed emotions (worry) are attributed to the fact that this meridian is not balanced along with the spleen meridian.

From 9:00 to 11:00, it is the spleen meridian , as mentioned above, is also affected by worry; this meridian has the task of transforming nutrients into the blood to nourish the organs and muscles ; therefore, Chinese medicine recommends that it be in this period when physical activity is performed.

From 11:00 a.m. to 13:00 is the meridian of the heart ; here, a excess of joy or lack of joy is attributed to the imbalance of this meridian. It is recommended in this period to eat and, if possible, a nap.

From 13:00 to 15:00 corresponds to the meridian of the small intestine, just as excess joy or sadness is not attributed only to an imbalance on the heart meridian it is also attributed to the small intestine meridian. Remember, our body is digesting the previous food, so it is recommended to finish our tasks and let our body digest it.

From 15:00 to 17:00 .corresponds to the bladder, which is credited with helping waste through the kidney . If unbalanced, there is fear . It is recommended to drink tea, to help the body eliminate waste.

From 1 7:00 to 19.00 It corresponds to the kidney meridian, which, as we mentioned before, if there is fear, we must balance; this meridian is the one that helps us stay young since Chinese medicine attributes the correct functioning of the bones to this meridian. At this time, walking, stretching, and doing yoga or meditation are recommended.

From 19:00 to 21:00 is the meridian of the pericardium meridian , and it is time for nutrients to reach our cells; it also has a vital role in reproduction It is responsible for good sexual secretions; remember that the pericardium protects the heart, and as a good protector, it will give the yes or no for the next step. During this time, social activities are recommended.

From 21:00 p.m. to 23:00 p.m., the triple burner meridian , whose functions are multiple, from oxygenation, circulation, and energy assimilation, controls ou r fight, flight, or freeze response . It is recommended to hydrate and relax our body, preparing to go to sleep

From 23:00 to 01:00 a.m. is the gallbladder meridian , whose function is to secrete bile; l ike the liver, anger represents the imbalance of this meridian.It .also helps the function of decision making. It is a significant time to be asleep since it is when our body regenerates itself; . Detox is also recommended here. Here is recommended good sleep to restore our body.

If you see that any of these meridians are affected, I recommend balancing them with acupuncture.

Please feel free to call us for an appointment.

Integral Holistic Treatment for Rheumatism

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 14:29:36 GMT

Food as an important role to treat Rheumatism

Rheumatism has many faces

Rheumatoid arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Tendonitis
Gout
Lupus
Ankylosing spondylitis

I will include in this list also fibromyalgia due to the symptoms and food that should be avoided.

An integral holistic treatment like acupuncture or homeopathy, including tissue salts , may help to reduce the symptoms and have a better quality of life.

For example, if the rheumatism is due to excess uric acid ( Gout ) and you choose to go for a homeopathic treatment, among the most common homeopathic remedies will be: Berberis, Benzoicum Acidum, Uric Acidum, Lycopodium, Lithium carbonicum, Ledum palustr ,etc. and depending on the modality and the cause, the homeopath will choose the right one for you. Hover in this case, when rheumatism is caused due to exes of uric acid is important to reduce red meat and alcohol, to reduce the uric acid and help the body to heal.

As you can read in the previous example, remedies or acupuncture is one part of the treatment but is also important to have a proper diet.

Recommended foods for those suffering from rheumatism.

Avocado
Nuts
Fresh tuna fish
Fresh Salmon
Garlic
Celery
Peppers
Broccoli
Cabbage
Plenty of water

A highly recommended trio is broccoli, celery, and cabbage.

And if you want to add supplements, curcumin or also called Tumeric is the one.

Foods to avoid or try to reduce as much as possible in your diet.

Dairy products
Coffee
Sugar
Cereals
Sausages, ham, smoked meat
Refined flours products

If there is also an excess of water in the body in the form of swelling, for example, in the knees, etc. It is necessary to reduce products with high quantities of sodium and eat products with natural sodium or less sodium.

Products to reduce due to high quantity of sodium

Canned Tuna
Refined salt
Ham
Instant soup-food
Carbonated drinks - energy drinks

Just to give you an example about the products to reduce due to the high sodium in few gr. 1/2 teaspoon of salt is 1150 mg of sodium, and one can of tuna fish is 400mg of sodium; for that reason is better to avoid some products to have a balance.

However, the body still needs sodium but I will call it good sodium or low quanty, like in the following food spinach, celery, chicken breast, root beat, white egg, including prawns, taking into consideration that 100 gr of prawns has 150 mg of sodium, still low if we compare with canned tuna.

The previous recommendations are from the integral point of view of Western medicine; if we see it from the point of view of Chinese medicine, the suggestions are similar.

In Chinese medicine, the pathology for joint pain diseases is called Bi-syndrome , which means P ainful Obstruction Syndrome. According to Chinese medicine, four factors cause them: dampness, phlegm, heat, wind , etc. In Chinese medicine, where phlegm is found, it is recommended to eliminate all dairy products . When dampness is found , its is recommended to eliminate sugar and sweets, white-wheat flour, process food.

That is why the previous recommendations also apply; if you decide to go with acupuncture . If it is the case where there is also excess heat, you would be recommended to eliminate other types of food such as red meat and spicy condiments.

Wherever the complementary therapy you choose, acupuncture or homeopathy; remember that changes in your eating habits play a significant role in your healing

If the current rhythm of life has led you to get sick either from a cyst, infertility, depression, or an autoimmune disease , and you think that no one can help you. You are wrong; since 1976, Samuel Hahnemann a -German doctor , understood that diseases are cured in another way. He called it "the principle of similarity", which means the remedy should have equal energy to the illness.

Homeopathic remedies come from the mineral, plant, or animal kingdom. They are first tested on healthy people (drug testing) to be seen precisely and clearly how and what this medicinal substance can heal. What effects a particular substance has on the human organism to get the similarity remedy matching the illness

What your homeopath will expect from you.

If you have an illness, you need to observe your body before going to see a homeopath.. For example, if you have pain on knew, and that pain is only when you are resting. Or if you suffer from migraines, and you notice that it comes after a special meal etc.

Be aware that you have to be open to speaking about feelings, moods, for example, if you are angry with a boss, ex-boyfriend, or if you feel indignation because they did not give you the promotion, or if you are sad because somebody passed away, etc.

What are things you enjoy , for example, dancing, cleaning the house, walking by at sea, collecting old items?

What are things you do not tolerate , for example: See the room untidy, somebody criticizes you, etc

What are your cravings : bread, chocolates, bitter food, etc

What food your body does not tolerate as example, eggs, eggplant etc.

What makes you feel better, for example: if walking in the open air or sleeping over the affected area, or the hot or cold weather. etc

How it works and What to expect

And now you are asking yourself why the homeopath needs to know my feelings and my craving for pain. Well, it is only knee pain - it is more important than you can describe how you feel better or worst, but it is a migraine, depression, etc., every single detail is essential. The reason is that the homeopath has to choose from thousands of remedies, the remedy with similar energy - symptoms that you have.

It's important to know that it could be that you feel worst a few hours / one day after taking the first remedy, however in Homeopathy after the aggravation comes to the cure. However, the aggravation is not always present.

After taking the homeopathic remedy, there is a waiting period to see how the remedy had to helps your immune system. During the follow-up consultation, generally after 5- 6 weeks, you should report what has been changed physically or mentally to your homeopath.
