emphasizing reasoning treatment and prescribing based on pattern identification.
And Oriental Medicine understands the Impotence not as a disease but as a kind of sign accompanied with the functional impairment of organs like HUHRO, HUHSON, SINHUH.
The etiology (pathological mechanism) of YINWU (Impotence) could be devided into two; the first is Kidney emptiness noted in NEIJING as functional impairment of organ and Heart emptiness Spleen emptiness and Liver emptiness are also considered as
the
reason of Impotence.
; the second is the functional impairment of Liver meridian resulting from dampness and heat in the channel which surrounds genitalia among 12 meridians.
Pathological patterns of Impotence (YINWU) could be devided into Gate fire decreasing, Heart and Spleen impairment, Anxiety impairing Kidney and Damp-Heat downward. Acupuncture treatment and herbal prescription are applied in the treatment of
