Integrative
Preventive Healthcare 

Our digestive systems are intimately connected to our immune system, and absorbing all vital nutrients and eliminating excess products efficiently is necessary for the health of all the body's tissues: muscles, nerves, organs, blood, and vessels. Acupuncture helps the direction of the digestive energy to go in the correct direction. Suppose a problem in this directional movement arises with gastric reflux, nausea, gastroparesis, or constipation. In that case, acupuncture can redirect the energy through the system in its natural downward direction. 

Acupuncture is not just about redirecting digestive energy, it also aids in the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of waste. It's a comprehensive approach that addresses a range of issues. For instance, absorption problems can lead to anemia, watery or loose bowel movements, while waste elimination issues can cause constipation, bloating, gas, poor appetite, and excessive weight. Acupuncture also helps with other health complications related to absorption and elimination, such as arthritis, chronic inflammation, kidney stones, gallstones, and autoimmune disorders. 

 

Throughout treatment, foods for your health are discussed—foods that work better for your body are encouraged, and foods that inhibit healing are discouraged. As you incorporate these changes into your diet, acupuncture can work even more effectively. Acupuncture assists the digestive energy required for healthy absorption and elimination, helping digest nutrients and sort the nutrients from the waste.
