										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Moxa is a special &#8220;cigar&#8221; used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for heating acupuncture points.</p>
<h3>Where to Buy Moxa</h3>
<p>You can buy one in your local TCM shop (if you have a Chinatown, you will have such a shop for sure). And if you can&#8217;t find one locally it shouldn&#8217;t be too hard to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JTOYBI?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=theultimatlearna&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000JTOYBI" rel="nofollow">buy one online</a>. Often it&#8217;s referred to as &#8220;<span id="btAsinTitle"><strong>Acupuncture Moxa</strong>&#8220;. Some are better than others. And the &#8220;<strong>Smokeless Moxa</strong>&#8221; version is probably the best.<br />
</span></p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t get any, you can use a normal cigar.</p>
<p><span id="more-83"></span></p>
<h3>How to Use Moxa</h3>
<p><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-5.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-73" title="treating-impotence-5" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-5-300x240.jpg" alt="treating-impotence-5" width="300" height="240" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-5-300x240.jpg 300w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-5.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Light up moxa and bring it close to the points described earlier in this article. Keep it at distance of about 1cm (?&#8221;) from the surface of the skin. See how it&#8217;s done on the following figure:</p>
<p>Make little circular movements above each point slowly coming close to the skin until you feel a burning sensation, at which point you should move moxa away.</p>
<p>Typically you should repeat this procedure 3-5 times on each point/area that needs to be treated.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>According to wikipedia: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impotence">Erectile Dysfunction</a> (ED or male impotence) is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis.</p>
<p>Statistics suggest that 40% of men reaching the age of 35-40 to a certain degree suffer from impotence.</p>
<p>Impotence could happen for a variety of reasons, some of which are:</p>
<p><span id="more-68"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>inflammatory diseases of the urogenital system;</li>
<li>insufficient arterial blood-groove in vessels;</li>
<li>diabetes;</li>
<li>hormonal infringements;</li>
<li>various traumas;</li>
<li>surgery;</li>
<li>depression and stresses;</li>
<li>malnutrition;</li>
<li>inactive way of life</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Points</h3>
<p>First of all let&#8217;s identify the points on our hands that you&#8217;re going to work with. These points are connected with the organs that affect sexual functionality.</p>
<p>Point corresponding to kidney and adrenal glands are shown at 1,2.These points are on the back of a palm in a small recesses.</p>
<p><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-1.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-69" title="treating-impotence-1" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-1-224x300.jpg" alt="treating-impotence-1" width="224" height="300" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-1-224x300.jpg 224w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-1.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Fig 1</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-70" title="treating-impotence-2" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-2-300x240.jpg" alt="treating-impotence-2" width="300" height="240" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-2-300x240.jpg 300w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-2.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Fig 2</p>

<p>Pituitary gland points are shown at figure 4.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-72" title="treating-impotence-4" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-4-224x300.jpg" alt="treating-impotence-4" width="224" height="300" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-4-224x300.jpg 224w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-4.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px" /></a>Fig 4</p>
<h3>Treatment</h3>
<p>The first part of the treatment involves heating up the mentioned points with moxa.</p>
<p>Read about <a href="/healing/2008/07/how-to-use-moxa/">Moxa</a> if you aren&#8217;t familiar with it.</p>
<p>Light up moxa and bring it close to the points described earlier in this article. Keep it at distance of about 1cm (?&#8221;) from the surface of the skin. See how it&#8217;s done on the picture:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-73 aligncenter" title="treating-impotence-5" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-5-300x240.jpg" alt="treating-impotence-5" width="300" height="240" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-5-300x240.jpg 300w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-5.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Fig 5</p>
<p>Make little circular movements above each point slowly coming close to the skin until you feel a burning sensation, at which point you should move moxa away. Repeat this procedure 3-5 times on each point, once a day for twenty days.</p>
<p>The second part of the treatment involves application of seeds on the area corresponding to genitals as shown in a picture 6. You can do that treatment in parallel with the first part.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-74" title="treating-impotence-6" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-6-300x240.jpg" alt="treating-impotence-6" width="300" height="240" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-6-300x240.jpg 300w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-6.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Fig 6</p>
<p>You can use lentil, fennel, parsley seeds and even small slices of garlic. You secure the seeds in place using a band-aid or some other alternative. Don&#8217;t forget to replace seeds to fresh ones about once of a day. You also need to press on them lightly from time to time to better stimulate those points.</p>
<p>The third part of the treatment should be done once you completed the 20 day-course of the first two parts.</p>
<p>That final part is connected with the Six-energy theory, explained in detail in article <a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/2008/06/knee-pain-treatments/ ">Knee-Pain Treatments</a>. According to Su Jok theory libido decrease is connected with decrease of Hotness energy and therefore your goal will be to increase this energy. To accomplish that, attach lentils according to figure 7.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-75" title="treating-impotence-7" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-7-300x240.jpg" alt="treating-impotence-7" width="300" height="240" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-7-300x240.jpg 300w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/treating-impotence-7.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Fig 7</p>
<p>Carry out this procedure three times a week for one month. Again don&#8217;t forget to change the lentils to fresh ones every day.</p>
<h3>Supplements and Diet</h3>
<p>While doing the course, it&#8217;s encouraged to supplement your diet with royal jelly for about three months.</p>
<p>Other good things to eat to increase your libido include pine nuts, almonds, spirulina, and sea fish.</p>
<h3>Life Style</h3>
<p>Finally you may need to adjust your life style to a healthier one, where you eat well and on a regular basis, do sports and take care of your body and health. You may want to consider taking a break from consuming substances, such as cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, etc.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to conduct a regular sexual life, avoiding long periods of abstention, but also not to have excessive sex.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A 25-year old man had been suffering from mouth ulcers for many years, when he came to see me. The ulcer was extremely painful and the area around it looked slightly swollen. The ulcer wasn&#8217;t permanent, but would come and go periodically. The patient consulted conventional medical specialists on multiple occasions, who gave him various prescriptions that only helped for a little while and then the ulcers would reappear.</p>
<p>(A mouth ulcer is an open sore inside the oral cavity. Typically it looks like a white oval on flesh with an inflamed red border.)</p>
<p><span id="more-38"></span></p>
<h3>Diagnosis</h3>
<p><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mouth-ulcer.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-39" title="mouth-ulcer" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mouth-ulcer-300x201.png" alt="mouth-ulcer" width="300" height="201" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mouth-ulcer-300x201.png 300w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mouth-ulcer.png 751w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>According to Su Jok theory the patient had an excess of the Dryness energy expressed in the painful ulcer. Humidity energy expressed in a swelling in the ulcer area and Heat energy expressed in any inflammatory process.</p>
<p>Here is the diagnostics diagram of my patient, that I performed using device TestBalance.</p>
<p>This diagram shows an excess of Heat and Hotness energy (Pc and Th), excess of AH &#8211; Dryness energy (Li),<br />
Excess of UM &#8211; Humidity energy (Sp) and deficiency of the Wind energy (Lv, Gb).</p>
<h3>Treatment</h3>
<p>I did two treatment sessions on this patient.</p>
<p><a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/treatment-of-mouth-ulcer.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-40" title="treatment-of-mouth-ulcer" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/treatment-of-mouth-ulcer-225x300.png" alt="treatment-of-mouth-ulcer" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/treatment-of-mouth-ulcer-225x300.png 225w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/treatment-of-mouth-ulcer.png 567w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a> In the first session I put some needles to the painful points on the basic corresponding system according to Su Jok therapy. Thirty minutes later the ulcer was half the original size.</p>
<p>In the second session, on the following day, I performed Energy Flow Therapy. As known from TCM the window of the Stomach meridian is the mouth and according to Su Jok theory the mouth concerns to the Wind energy in the digestion system (Stomach). Therefore it was necessary to balance energy of Wind energy sub-branch (Gall Bladder) in branch Humidity energy (Stomach). <a href="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/treatment-of-mouth-ulcer-eft.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-41" title="treatment-of-mouth-ulcer-eft" src="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/treatment-of-mouth-ulcer-eft-300x110.png" alt="treatment-of-mouth-ulcer-EFT" width="300" height="110" srcset="https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/treatment-of-mouth-ulcer-eft-300x110.png 300w, https://alternativefelix.com/healing/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/treatment-of-mouth-ulcer-eft.png 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Two days later the patient reported that his ulcer disappeared completely.</p>
