Selection of acupoints for pED based on Chinese medicine theory. Note: From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the essence chamber is a general term for the male reproductive system. GV20 (Baihui) can calm the nerves, PC6 (Neiguan) and LR3 (Taichong) can relieve melancholy, KI12 (Dahe) and KI3 (Taixi) can tonify the kidney, CV3 (Zhongji) and CV4 (Guanyuan) can benefit the essence chamber. Although LR3 (Taichong) is not the acupoint of the heart meridian of hand shaoyin, it is beneficial for regulating mood and mental activity when paired with PC6 (Neiguan). (Created with Biorender.com)
