1. Proper Nutrition


Oftentimes the food that someone is consuming on a regular basis can be doing more harm than good. All people's bodies react to foods differently, for example, some people swear by the fact that coffee elevates headaches, whereas others may experience frequent headaches as a result of coffee consumption. When it comes to digestive troubles it is often best to eat warm, cooked foods. Beverages should also be room temperature or warm. Having cold or raw foods like salads, sushi, or iced coffees can wreak havoc on the digestive system. Ask your acupuncturist which foods are best for you!

Herbs are customized to your unique situation and take into account any medications you are on, or allergies you may have. Ask your acupuncturist about what herbs would be appropriate for your health condition the next time you visit!

Acupuncture focuses on the spleen and stomach meridians when helping to work through digestive issues. Acupuncture can help to rebalance and strengthen the function of these organ systems; it can also help to regulate the metabolism and decrease or eliminate gastrointestinal pain.
