Acupuncture for Digestive Issues: Natural Relief for IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac & Heartburn
🌀 A Natural Approach to Modern Digestive Problems
Digestive issues are becoming increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. Conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Crohn’s disease, Celiac disease, heartburn (GERD), and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) not only affect physical health, but also your emotional well-being and overall quality of life.
While conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a root-cause, holistic approach. At J. Lee Acupuncture, we combine ancient techniques with personalized care to help your digestive system heal naturally.
🌿 How Acupuncture Supports Digestive Health
In TCM, digestion is governed by the Spleen and Stomach meridians. When these systems are imbalanced—due to stress, poor diet, or inflammation—your body may struggle to process food properly, leading to discomfort and dysfunction.
Acupuncture helps by:
Regulating the gut-brain connection
Reducing GI inflammation
Calming the nervous system (vagus nerve stimulation)
Improving digestion and nutrient absorption
Balancing liver and spleen function (as defined in TCM)
✅ Conditions We Treat
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
Acupuncture calms the digestive tract and reduces symptoms like gas, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. It also targets the stress component, which often worsens IBS.
Crohn’s & Ulcerative Colitis
By reducing systemic inflammation and easing abdominal pain, acupuncture can support patients during flare-ups and in remission.
Celiac Disease
Though it doesn’t replace a gluten-free diet, acupuncture can ease digestive discomfort, improve energy, and support overall immune health.
Heartburn / GERD
Acupuncture restores balance to the stomach meridian and helps reduce excess stomach acid, relieving burning and reflux.
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
SIBO symptoms like bloating, cramps, and gas can be improved by stimulating gut motility and reducing internal inflammation.
