Acupuncture has a regulatory effect on the functions of the digestive system. Oriental Medicine will use different acupuncture methods to stimulate acupuncture points and channels to redirect the flow of Qi and Blood. This creates homeostatic balance, increasing muscle contraction as needed, digestive secretions, enzyme production, reducing or increasing acid content, and absorption of nutrients.
Chinese herbal medicine specifically targets multiple digestive conditions, such as excessive dampness, bloating gas, acid reflux, gastritis and difficult bowel movements, by augmenting nutrients and function ability of internal organs.
