Acupuncture for Poor Digestion
The digestive system helps your body’s cells get the nutrients they need to function properly. However, digestive problems arise from time to time with symptoms and effects on the body that range from merely uncomfortable to serious and life-threatening. Digestive disorders occur because of imbalances in the body. These imbalances may be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic stress, poor diet, and overindulging in high-fat foods. Acupuncture for poor digestion seeks to rebalance the digestive system by nourishing organs related to digestion and reducing inflammation in the stomach and pancreas. Treating digestive issues with regular acupuncture sessions can help relieve symptoms associated with:
- Peptic ulcers
- Heartburn
- Lactose intolerance
- Hiatal hernia
- Bacterial infections
- Other gastrointestinal issues
During an acupuncture session, the acupuncture physician will identify and stimulate the specific acupuncture points on the body that coincide with the proper treatment of the issues in question.
Acupuncture for Immune Disorders
Like the digestive system, the immune system helps to keep your body healthy. But instead of helping your body absorb nutrients, it repels and destroys foreign organisms that are harmful to the body, such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Acupuncture for immune disorders treats a wide range of health conditions related to the immune system, including:
- Immune deficiency syndrome
- Cancer
- Autoimmune disorders
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Psoriasis
- Common cold
Instead of treating only the symptoms of immune disorders, acupuncture seeks to address the underlying causes. By targeting the acupuncture points associated with improving immune function, the acupuncture physician helps speed up the rate at which your body heals itself, normalizing and regulating your immune response.
If you have tried to treat your digestion issues or immune disorder with western medicine without success, consider trying acupuncture. Acupuncture for poor digestion and acupuncture for immune disorders is safe and free from side effects.
