Digestive Health Q&A

How can Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine help my digestive troubles?

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, digestion is a vital component of one's body. The nutrients we take in are turned into energy and provides nourishment for your body. Symptoms of bloating, constipation or indigestion reinforces the need to rebalance certain meridians in your body. Traditional Chinese Medicine allows the practitioner to uncover any underlying issues that may be causing your digestive issues and also to address any diet/ lifestyle changes.

Acupuncture can be used to alleviate any digestive discomfort and to improve the overall health of your digestive organs. Also, promoting blood circulation through meridians and into organs can help supply the energy your digestive system needs to keep it operating normally. Studies have shown that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, which in turn can help control gut motility.

It can also be an effective treatment for postoperative digestive trouble, ulcerative colitis, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and vomiting.
