Acupuncture has been helping digestive function for thousands of years. A healthy digestive system is at the root of all wellness. The digestive system is closely linked with your immune system, your ability to absorb nutrients and eliminate waste products, and your emotional wellbeing.
Acupuncture improves digestion by:
- Regulating gastric secretions (stomach acid, bile, and pancreatic enzymes)
- Lessening gas and bloating
- Relieving an inflamed stomach lining
- Relieve digestive pain and enhancing function by calming stress
- Regulating intestinal motility to treat constipation and diarrhea
Digestive issues acupuncture can help treat include:
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Acid reflux
- GERD
- Vomiting and nausea
- Gas and bloating
- Abdominal pain
- Ulcerative colitis
- Crohn’s disease
