DIGESTIVE DISORDERS
DIGESTIVE DISORDERS – HOW WE CAN HELP
You may be surprised to know that there is a huge correlation between our gut and our overall well being. Our digestive system is so complex that our gut microbiome can actually be compared to a bustling metropolis with bacteria, virus and fungi charging about doing their daily chores.
This microscopic universe needs to operate smoothly for us to enjoy good health. This is why, when our gut is off balance we feel sluggish and feel incapable of executing the simplest of tasks.
If you can resonate with this, Acupuncture could be your answer to improved gut health. By creating a balance between the gut-brain axis and the nervous system I offer a deep-rooted therapy that goes beyond symptomatic relief.
There are a wide range of disorders which can cause issues which indicate that things aren’t moving as they should within the digestive tract. Acupuncture is also used to minimise pain, inflammation and regulates the release of stomach acid which is often the cause of most digestive issues.
Digestive disorders like Crohn’s disease and Colitis can be quite uncomfortable and can include symptoms like:
- Bloating
- Constipation
- Diarrhoea
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- IBS
Acupuncture is a totally safe alternative and can be used in addition to conventional medical treatments.
Naturopathy and Supplements
The use of Naturopathy to treat digestive disorders has been hugely effective, which is why I often recommend the use of natural supplements to my patients. These supplents give your gut microbiome the stimulus it needs to settle and can aid in healing, improving digestion, and even help to regulate bowel movements.
To help me understand exactly why your gut is struggling it is very useful to run a few simple functional tests. A stool and urine sample can help me get the full picture so that I can determine the right treatment as well as recommend the right supplements.
