 In this article, I focus on the typical Western medical approach to the treatment of infertility, and how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be a successful alternative or supplement to these treatments. When couples are having regular intercourse without contraception, eighty percent will conceive, and another ten percent will conceive the following year. This suggests that about ten percent of the population suffers from infertility. Of this number, forty percent is due to female problems, forty percent to male problems, and ten percent to a combination of both acting together. |

 Acne is an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous gland characterized by papules, inflamed nodules, pus-filled cysts, and in extreme cases, deep, inflamed, sometimes purulent sores. The cause of acne is not clear, however, scientists agree that a complex interaction between hormones, sebum (oil), and bacteria result in common acne or a pimple. The skin follicles, often called pores, are clogged with sebum and dead skin. When the pores are filled with oil and dead skin, the bacteria start to grow inside the clogged pores, causing inflammation. If untreated, the inflammation can advance into the nodules, cysts, and sometimes purulent sores. |

As the ovaries become less active, there is less secretion of estrogen, and as a result, women start to experience irregular menstruation until it finally ceases. This process typically begins in women between the ages of 47 and 52.
