Digestive Issues and Allergies

Acupuncture for Digestive Health

The digestive system maintains a close relationship with the enteric nervous system — known as the 'second brain' — and is highly susceptible to stress and energy imbalances. Acupuncture regulates gastrointestinal motility, reduces intestinal mucosal inflammation, and modulates immune response.

Conditions treated

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease
• Chronic gastritis
• Colitis and Crohn's disease (complementary)
• Chronic constipation
• Seasonal and food allergies

Acupuncture and immune regulation

In allergy treatment, acupuncture modulates the IgE response, reduces histamine levels, and regulates Th1/Th2 lymphocytes. The American Journal of Gastroenterology reports clinically significant improvements in IBS symptoms after 8 weeks of treatment.
