Easing Digestive Symptoms

A course of acupuncture can improve common digestive symptoms such as pain, bloating, cramping, flatulence, diarrhoea and constipation. In comparisons with drug treatments acupuncture has been found beneficial for a variety of gastrointestinal diseases including IBS, indigestion, nausea, acid reflux, gastritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
