Low sex drive? Acupuncture may be just the trick to enhance your under-the-sheets action!
When it comes to a healthy sex drive women are often at a disadvantage because not only is it not typical water cooler talk but our hormones influence just about everything, so when they’re out of whack, there is a chance our sex drive is too!
At Lee Acupuncture, it’s important to enjoy and experience the best of life — which means finally addressing your low sex drive! Learn more about how acupuncture can reinvigorate your sex life!
There’s Stress And Then There’s A Low Sex Drive!
One of the issues that our Newport Beach acupuncture office often encounters is women who are highly stressed and women who report a low sex drive.
An estimated 43% of women are impacted by a low sex drive and because acupuncture treats stress, anxiety, and tension beautifully, it may just be the match made in heaven for a loss of desire for sex.
Beyond hormonal issues, our acupuncture clinic has noticed a trend among both pre- and post-menopausal women — right around 50% of them are too tired, too anxious and stressed, or consumed with their body image to want to have sex, let alone enjoy it.
It’s can be difficult to pinpoint what causes a low sex drive, but once women’s hormones are addressed or ruled out, an acupuncturist can begin narrowing down a root cause.
The beautiful way acupuncture can address your low sex drive is that it may very well differ visit to visit. One appointment may address your stress levels while another may help balance your hormones.
Let’s explore how exactly acupuncture can help support a healthy sex drive below!
Acupuncture supports hormone balance.
As we’ve written extensively on hormones, we know that a woman’s hormones can affect anything from sleep and how you gain muscle, to, you guessed, sex drive!
There are many ways hormones can get out of whack including a poor diet, poor lifestyle choices, stress, and an impaired immunity so it’s important to address these issues in addition to seeking support from your acupuncturist and Chinese herbs.
Acupuncture supports circulation.
There is no doubt about it when things are stagnant so is your sex drive, which is why acupuncture may be a great solution! Acupuncture supports circulation and helps get things moving to all the right areas!
Systems and organs become more sensitive and the improved blood flow not only helps a woman’s body prepares for sex but it can also help her reach orgasm more quickly.
Acupuncture supports relaxation.
Our lives are stressful and it’s easy to get spun by endless tasks, errands, and people that add stress to our lives. And, let’s face it, no one has time for sex when they’re thick of a cycle of doom and gloom!
Acupuncture can tackle your stress to help relieve your anxiety and promote a sense of calm.
