Acupuncture for Digestion & Weight Gain

Did you know that acupuncture at Dalhousie Health & Wellness can be used as an aid in digestion? Or that it can assist with eliminating weight gain? By stimulating the body’s nervous system, we can nudge our sluggish digestion system to perform optimally. By inserting thin needles into certain ‘acupoints’ on the body, the bowels and lymphatic system respond by eliminating stuck energy or ‘qi’.

With proper diet and exercise, acupuncture could be considered when attempting to shed excess weight. Oftentimes, weight gain is attributed to a clogged lymphatic system, slow bowel movement or excess water that has not been filtered by the kidneys.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, diet and movement are particularly important in digestion. In fact, the Chinese have invented an organ clock that prescribes at which time one should eat, move and rest.

Acupuncture may relieve symptoms of digestive pain, vomiting, nausea, indigestion, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn and incontinence.
