Hi Donald, most alternative treatments are unclear and conflicting towards Male infertility at this point (see rvita grade table). Acupuncture and several herbs are listed, but nothing is conclusive at this point in time. I would recommend checking out a specialist who will analyze your sperm in addition to performing other tests. He or she may also refer you to any alternative treatments if necessary.
Webmd recommends the following on your own "But are there things you can do on your own to maximize your fertility? Yes. For one, dont do things to hurt your chances to have viable sperm җ marijuana, cocaine, tobacco, and more than two alcoholic drinks a day harm sperm production, says Ross. Men should also avoid hot baths and whirlpools, he says, because the high temperatures slow down your sperm factory."
I really liked will comments on not doing anything to harm your fertility. Most alternative medicines are focused on prevention. If you are like most of us the damage might already been done. I have had success with acupuncture and herbs for fertility. Traditional Chinese Medicine breaks the health problems into root and branch. Branch being the infertility. The root usually has a kidney deficiency component to it but not exclusively. Many of the patients I see are using acupuncture as an adjunct therapy to IVF treatments. Acupuncture can improve success of IVF by 40-60%.
The thing with acpuncture and chinese medicine is that treatment is individualized. The best thing to do is make a consultation with a practioner to discuss your case. Good Luck
