🗣️ Halitosis in TCM – Understanding Bad Breath

Bad breath isn’t just a dental issue—it can be a reflection of internal imbalance.

In TCM, Kou Chou arises when Heat, Damp-Heat, or Food Stagnation obstructs the middle burner, especially the Stomach and Spleen.

😷 Western Causes:
Gingivitis, smoking, and alcohol
Constipation, dehydration
Lung abscess
Sjögren’s syndrome
Certain medications or cancer

🌿 Common TCM Causes:
Improper diet (too much greasy or spicy food)
Emotional stress
Internal Heat or Phlegm accumulation

🎯 Treatment Options:
👂 Ear points: Stomach, Lung

🥗 Dietary recommendations:
Barley • Oats • Watercress • Spinach • Lemons • Cucumbers • Arugula • Swiss chard • Apples • Strawberries

💡 Tip: Always rule out dental causes before applying TCM principles—then treat the root (Heat, Phlegm, Damp) to restore harmony and fresh breath!

🧬 Male Infertility in TCM

In Western terms, male infertility is often due to low sperm count, low motility, or abnormal morphology—with contributing factors like illness, injury, obesity, chronic disease, genetics, smoking, or alcohol use.

🌿 From a TCM Perspective:

Low sperm count & poor morphology → Kidney Essence Deficiency
Low motility → often linked to Liver Qi Stagnation
Excessive ejaculation or overwork further weakens Kidney Jing

✨ Clinical Tip:
Encourage patients to have intercourse every second day—this allows for optimal sperm regeneration while maintaining vitality.

🎯 Ear Acupuncture Points:
👂 KD • LV • Subcortex • Endocrine

💡 The TCM approach focuses on nourishing Kidney Essence, soothing Liver Qi, and harmonizing the endocrine system to support fertility naturally.
