Gut Health Treatment

How can Chinese Medicine help your gut?

Challenges to your health, in particular your digestive health, often stem from the cumulative changes you endure from your environment and life choices. The negative factors include a degrading food supply, chronic systemic inflammation, overwork, and reliance upon harmful drugs and antibiotics. It’s no wonder the landscapes of our guts have become so severely altered.

Superbugs, yeasts, and bacterial infections are on the rise due to increased antibiotic overuse among our own communities as well as among the livestock within our food supply. The question remains, how do we heal our gut and reverse the damage that has already occurred?

Chinese Medicine and acupuncture are solutions you may not have considered, but they offer a unique customized solution, touting success where other attempts have failed. Let me show you how to use these tools to repair and improve your digestive health and healthy gut bacteria.

Alternative Medicine Redefined

Although the obstacles to health loom greater, perhaps now more so than ever before in human history, doctors have long pursued strategies that successfully treat many health concerns by focusing on the health of the belly.

Gut health has long been a cornerstone of the theory and practice of Chinese Medicine, too.

Many hundreds of years ago, one famous practitioner Li Dong-Yuan, inspired an entire school of thought called the “Earth School.” His devotion to such strategies is remembered, for we do ultimately depend upon our digestion for all of our body’s needs. Li Dong-Yuan is famous for both his herbal formulas and developing Chinese medicine aspects that focused on promoting healthy digestion.

These methods incorporate many lifestyle changes to nutritional cuisine, including food choices, herbs, and regular acupuncture treatments. Having trained extensively in these methods and used them to treat my own metabolic issues effectively, I am confident to be able to offer you the help you need to get your health back on track as well.

It may seem unrelated. However, many skin disorders and auto-immune issues also have at their root an undiagnosed or misdiagnosed gut health issue. If you are still struggling with chronic illness and no one has been able to help you, you don’t have to be helpless anymore.

Microbes are essential to human health.

Since the advent of the Microbiome Project worldwide, science confirms that microscopic bacterial colonies living in our digestive tract play essential roles for our physical and mental well-being. Successful herbal remedies aim at helping the body to harmonize, rather than using strategies that purge or eliminate our insides.

We must seek to protect our healthy bacteria with approaches that are not too forceful and do not result in complications to our health with undesired side effects. Instead, we must seek to gently nudge the body into a more balanced state with gentle herbs.

To persist in ignoring our gut health, we only do so at our own peril. Since we know that antibiotics threaten the extinction of our irreplaceable microbes, why put yourself at risk with such terrible health consequences? Plenty of evidence suggests that poor gut health increases the risk of developing cancer and autoimmune diseases. Why should we suffer such a needless fate?

Acupuncture and herbs benefit your digestive system.

Regular acupuncture treatments vastly improve your general health and especially your digestive health by strengthening your internal organs related to digestion. Acupuncture and herbal remedies can also boost your immune system and reduce or eliminate the need for prescription antibiotics.

Certain points used in acupuncture treatments, including ear acupuncture, can help reduce food cravings and manage impulse control or negative emotions. Gaining control over these impulses is especially important because processed foods are the most craved foods and often carry the most potential harm.

Processed foods and supplements containing emulsifiers that are harmful to your gut should be limited as much as possible. Let me teach you which prebiotic foods to eat every day and counsel you on what foods are suitable for your body and condition. Prebiotic and probiotic foods are commonly regarded as having beneficial medicinal properties. Let food be thy medicine!

Knowing what to eat and what to avoid can help you maintain a healthy gut.

Whether you keep a food journal or not, a nutritional consultation can help you evaluate your food choices and identify strategies to help you create a healthy eating plan. In developing your customized plan, we will also identify foods that are harmful to you.

Probiotics enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria and proliferate most in fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles, kombucha, miso, and many others. A daily sampling of new live bacteria from fermented foods makes your gut community more adaptable, which helps you be more resistant to chronic disease. Let me guide you in making the best food choices for your condition.

Maybe you are aware of how endocrine disruptors found in many of the cleaning products and hand sanitizers we regularly use can interfere with our hormones? Knowing that safe, natural cleaning products for your body and surroundings might be an important consideration for your long-term health.
