Chinese Medicine Balances Digestion

Is your digestive system functioning as well as it could be?

Millions of Americans suffer from digestive disorders ranging from constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome to more serious conditions such as acid reflux (GERD), ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

There are many studies and information supporting that Acupuncture /Oriental medicine can offer relief from even the most complex digestive problems. Evidence that Oriental medicine has been used for digestive disorders can be found in early medical literature dating back thousands of years. There are specific acupuncture points and herbal formulas for borborygmus (rumbling or gurgling in the intestines), abdominal pain, diarrhea, IBS, constipation and many other digestive disorders. 

According to Oriental medical theory, most digestive disorders are due to two meridians that govern our digestive functions, the spleen and stomach meridians. This two meridians work together to transport and transform our food into vital nutrients and Qi for our bodies. When these meridians are in disharmony or off balance, you can experience digestive issues. 

Oriental medicine views the spleen meridian as being associated with the function of digestion and transforming food into energy (qi and blood). A number of factors including overeating unhealthy foods, overwork, stress, fatigue, and lack of exercise can weaken the spleen meridian and other function of your body. The Stomach Meridian is the meridian that contains the must Qi and Blood for the body. The Stomach meridian must be strong to support the Spleen Meridian. When the spleen meridian and stomach meridian are not in harmony this can affect other area of life. Your energy is low, your emotions, you focus is off, your sleep may be disturbed; you may get headaches, and other aches. Our bodies are must work in a harmonious balance, and Acupuncture Oriental medicine can help achieve this balance. 

A variety of techniques will be used during treatment including acupuncture, lifestyle/dietary recommendations, cupping, herbal medicine, and energetic exercises to restore digestive health. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a process that will take time; however, your health is worth it.
