HOW IT WORKS
-
Acupuncture has a regulatory effect on gut motility and can impact contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the digestive tract. This can help alleviate symptoms of bloating, constipation and diarrhea.
-
Inflammation is a common underlying factor in many digestive disorders. Acupuncture has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, as well has shown to improve blood circulation. By using specific acupuncture points, blood flow to digestive organs can be increased, promoting better nutrient absorption and waste elimination.
-
The vagus nerve serves as a major communication pathway between the gut and brain and is a key factor of the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest system”). The motor functions of the vagus nerve control involuntary muscles involved in digestion and regulates the contractions of the digestive tract. Using acupuncture to stimulate the vagus nerve is key when it comes to treatment of digestive challenges.
-
When the gut is imbalanced, it can lead to immune dysfunction and increased susceptibility to digestive disorders. By restoring balance within the gut and maintaining a diverse microbiome, we are supporting immune response and overall health.
Alongside acupuncture treatments, we will also provide an individualized treatment plan with targeted supplement and nutritional practices that support digestion and gut health, enhancing the benefits of acupuncture.
