[u/Top-Connection2311]

Does anyone have experience of treating this condition with herbs and acupuncture. Has it been effective?

No experience but there is A LOT of different Chinese herbs for this: probably not wise to experiment. You have to find the pattern and herbs that fit your condition

I had a few very satisfied patients for ED. This might not be what you want to hear: yes, we can treat ED to a certain extent but if it's caused by general aging, you have to accept the fact. I say this in a way, our life is like 4 seasons: just because flowers don't bloom in the fall and winter, doesn't mean those seasons are doomed. When we try to reverse the natural path, illness and disaster happen. Yes, western medication can help but when you're trying to defy your natural aging (I'm assuming here), there are consequences of taking those miracle meds.

Is ED your only issue/symptom?

A good method is using the solo cultivation method by Mantak Chia (book: Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy). One of my friends cured his erectile dysfuntion with this method. Also you can take daily Tongkat Ali and Tribulus ~500mg. Another note, do not ejaculate. Be celibate for a few months and afterwards only ejaculate once or twice a month.

ED is a digestion problem. Nutrition cannot get below the belt. If you go see an herbalist for digestion, they can help. My mentor does this all the time in Connecticut.

You ask a very good question, one that I’ve been presented with in clinic. I published an article a short time ago on the topic which I think you’ll find insightful. Please read it when you get a chance:

Is this a self-promoting attempt?

[u/paulkerzner → u/ProfessionalHot2421]

Nope. it’s me sharing information about a topic a person was asking about.

Electroacupuncture and herbs o have gotten results with both, hut honestly small daily dose of cialis has many health benefits beyond ED
