With Male Infertility, A Lack of Stress is Helpful
When it comes to male infertility, a lack of stress is helpful. Of course, it’s a stressful situation for both partners. So we treat both to reduce the stress in both. And when I treat both partners the success rate is invariably higher. Men often don’t want to do that work. We’re programmed to struggle and buck up. Women tend to be more in touch with their bodies, in part because their hormones are constantly in flux, even on the subtlest levels, so they’re more okay w/ asking for help.

I will mention just a few herbs. You are far better served by seeing a practitioner of Chinese medicine to get a customized prescription. He or she will be able to tell you if need yang tonics, blood tonics, yin tonics, Spleen tonics, Resolve Damp or Heat Clearing food/herbs, Blood Stasis dietary assistance, or Liver Qi Stagnation resolving food/medicine. In fact it’s essential to your health to know which ones you should be putting in your system—and which might not be the right ones for you.
- Ginseng
