Acupuncture for Digestive Problems. Acupuncture can safely and effectively treat many digestive disorders, such as IBS, chrohns and colitis, constipation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, heart burn, gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and other inflammatory conditions. It does so by helping to nourish organs that are related to the digestive system, which can reduce stomach and pancreas inflammation and improve overall digestive function. Certain acupuncture points will be focused on, including those that can help speed up metabolism, reduce the secretion of gastric acid, regulate intestine function, bring stomach acid to a normal level, and increase the contraction and relaxation of the gastrointestinal muscles to ease any digestive issues.
