Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical treatments in the world and is used to re-establish balance in the body. It activates the body’s own innate healing response to help the body feel better and decrease symptoms, including
digestive problems
such as bloating and constipation. Modern research has shown that acupuncture helps increase blood circulation, decrease inflammation, and decrease pain.
How can Acupuncture help my digestion?
Acupuncture helps stimulate the “rest and digest” response, also known as your parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) in the body. In this relaxed state, blood flow to your digestive tract increases, the salivary gland is stimulated which produces digestive enzymes in the body, intestinal activity increases, and sphincters in the digestive tract relax. In addition to digestive benefits,
acupuncture for digestion

digestive issues
