Oligospermia Oligospermia falls into the category of jing shao (精少scant semen), jing qing (精清thin semen) or xu lao (虚劳 consumption) in TCM. This condition is caused by insufficiency of the kidney-essence due to constitutional insufficiency or excessive sexual activity exhausting the kidney-essence, or due to lack of source of generation and transformation of kidney-essence resulting from depletion and/or deficiency of qi and blood.

Based on the TCM principle for differentiating syndromes, the authors have achieved remarkable curative effects in treating fatty liver. TCM Conception on Fatty Liver There is no fatty liver in the terms of TCM. However, according to its clinical manifestations, the disease may belong to the categories of “abdominal mass”, “mass at hypochondria”, “hypochondriac pain”, “accumulation of phlegm with stasis”.
