Erectile Dysfunction (ED), also referred to as impotence, is the incapacity to get or to keep a penile erection solid enough to have sexual intercourse. When this happens now and again, it isn’t necessarily a problem, but when it becomes a structural issue it can cause stress, affect self-confidence, inhibit procreation i.e. obstructs having children, and/or yield substantial pressure on relationships.

In Asia, traditional treatments to resolve ED usually have a holistic approach trying to work simultaneously on both emotional and physical issues by using a mix of massage, bodywork and energy work.
It is believed that emotional trauma causes tensions and contractions in cell tissue and organs, which in their turn cause toxins and obstructions in nerves, veins, and arteries that inhibit an optimal functioning nervous system and the free flow of blood, that is, hormones, oxygen and nutrients to the genital organs.
By releasing tensions, knots, contractions, adhesions, twists and tangles on a physical level, it’s further believed that not only the uninhibited circulation of Vital Life Energy, lymph, and blood will re-activate the genital and reproductive system, but also that emotional and sexual trauma will be resolved by it naturally.
