Diagnosis of Sexual Health Care Reasons
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that the normal functioning of human reproductive and sexual functions is primarily determined by the strength and decline of kidney qi (肾气, shen qi), while the discharge of kidney essence (肾精, shen jing) is regulated and controlled by the liver (肝, gan). Sexual health care mainly focuses on the health of the kidneys and liver, emphasizing moderation in sexual activity, emotional regulation, and external genital cleanliness. Additionally, Gua Sha (刮痧, gua sha) can help maintain normal sexual activity, promote physical and mental health, ensure harmonious sexual relations, and prevent reproductive organ diseases. The differences in male and female constitutions dictate that male health care emphasizes nourishing the spine, while female health care focuses on nourishing liver blood (肝血, gan xue).
Gua Sha for Male Health:
Based on scientific health practices, balanced work and rest, and mental well-being, consistent Gua Sha can replenish kidney essence and benefit sexual health, delaying the aging of reproductive organs. It can also prevent and improve conditions such as lower back pain and insufficient energy. Furthermore, by observing the appearance of sha marks (痧斑, sha ban) and positive reactions in the following areas, one can refer to previous Gua Sha diagnostic patterns and methods to assess the health status of the sexual organs, providing early diagnostic insights into their health development.

Use the flat scraping method and double-angle scraping method to scrape from top to bottom on the lumbar region corresponding to the reproductive organs, focusing on the Du Mai (督脉, du mai) Mingmen point (命门穴, ming men xue), Yaoyangguan point (腰阳关穴, yao yang guan xue), and the Bladder Meridian (膀胱经, pang guang jing) Shenshu point (肾俞穴, shen yu xue), Zhishi point (志室穴, zhi shi xue), and the Eight Crests (八髎穴, ba liao xue). Use the oil application method to scrape once a week for tonifying purposes.

Gua Sha for Female Health:
Women experience physiological processes such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation throughout their lives, which are characterized by blood consumption and loss. If women lead irregular lifestyles and indulge excessively, they may experience decreased libido, menstrual irregularities, and other gynecological diseases, accompanied by symptoms of energy depletion, lower back pain, and weakness due to kidney qi deficiency. Gua Sha health care can maintain and promote the physiological functions of reproductive organs, delay their aging, improve sub-health conditions, prevent symptoms such as lower back pain and decreased sexual function, regulate menstrual cycles, alleviate dysmenorrhea, and promote the recovery of reproductive organ diseases.
