Does Acupuncture help IBS?

The Bay Area is still quite warm and summery, but I feel and see the energetic shift in quality and I don’t mind it. Are you feeling the inward pull? Before we dive into autumn, metal element themes, let’s give late-summer, earth element, a bit more attention.

I’m talking about digestion. How does that food move from your mouth, to stomach, to intestines… and how are your poops? If you’re someone who has been dealing with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS, this could be the post you’ve been waiting for.

The Earth Element offers us Natural IBS Relief

Earth element is our foundation and so is our digestion. The stomach and spleen support the body in extracting nutrients from food, so the body can repair tissue, so the liver can metabolize toxins, so the endocrine system can achieve proper hormone levels, so you have enough blood for the spirit to rest, to help you sleep, and have a calm mind. Earth and digestion are the root of everything.

So, how IS your digestion? Do you regularly deal with acid reflux? Nausea? Low appetite? Bloat? Loose stools? Does your earth element need a seismic retrofit?

Chinese Medicine Seasonal Wisdom

Right now is a potent moment to do just that. Chinese medicine has perspectives and acupuncture is just one Chinese Medicine solution for doing just that.

So… Does Acupuncture Help IBS?

I love the way that acupuncture offers holistic solutions to IBS and digestive concerns. IBS is one of those diagnoses that are complex and can involve a variety of factors that depend on the person. For some people there are strong emotional roots to the IBS. For others it is complex food sensitivities and for others it’s a perfect storm. If diet changes or pharmaceuticals have let you down, acupuncture may be the missing link. IBS is a diagnosis that I help people with frequently in my office with great results.

Feng Shui For IBS and Digestive Health

Having a safe, reliable, harmonious, comfy, even delightful place to hang your hat goes a long way toward operating from a nervous system state of “Rest and Digest”, which is deeply supportive to the earth element. I would even go a bit farther and say that your relationship to your home can be a reflection of how energy flows to and through your life and how food moves through your digestive tract.

What is Feng Shui?

Feng shui is an energetic modality, with roots in Chinese shamanism, that diagnoses and rebalances disruption in the energy flow between a person’s home, life, relationships and health. It’s a practice that I have deeply enjoyed and benefited from. So I finally decided to dive deeper into the wisdom and became certified as a Feng Shui consultant.
