ENCINO, Calif. - Nov. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Treating digestive disorders, IBS, and Ulcerative Colitis with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine

I find that many people don’t know or don’t think that Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicine can help with their digestive ailments like crohns, IBS, and ulcerative colitis. It seems as though people just believe or have been told to believe that acupuncture helps people relax and can mainly only be used for pain and pain management. Yes, this is true, acupuncture does have the strong ability to help people relax and manage pain, but this is only the tip of the iceberg on what acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is able to do as far as health care.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are very strong in it’s ability to help with digestive disorders. For example, in some cases individuals with IBS medication doesn’t  have to be prescribed. With proper dietary adjustments, exercise, and frequent acupuncture treatments along with Chinese herbs, there is virtually no reason why ones IBS symptoms would not subside. Usually with digestive disorders there is some sort of gastro intestinal inflammation. If it’s not parasitic, viral, or bacterial, inflammation can be causing the digestive problem. One of acupunctures great strengths is its ability to decrease most types of inflammation while increasing circulation. Therefore an individual suffering from IBS or other kinds of irritable bowel diseases may have large amounts of gastro intestinal inflammation. If this is the case then they are great candidates for acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.

         One main things that I would like the reader to take from this article is that with digestive disorders medication is not always the best answer. Don’t get me wrong, medication can definitely help with the dreadful signs and symptoms and sometimes even mask the problems to the point where you may feel they don’t even exist. But this has nothing to do with actually getting better and treating the problem at hand. Once one stops taking the medication those horrific signs and symptoms may come right back and usually even worse than before. These are the pros and cons of taking certain types of medication. You really never actually treat the issue of fix the problem. There are many different types of treatment modalities out there. One just has to find what works for them.
