| Taming Reflux & Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Reflux, also known as GERD or heartburn can severely limit diet and lifestyle choices, and cause daily pain and discomfort. IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrom, leads to abdominal pain, bloating, and often diarrhea alternating with constipation. Those who suffer from these symptoms often have to change their daily routine in order to deal with their symptoms.
Together, acupuncture and hypnosis can calm and prevent painful gastric spams.
While the causes for these gastrointestinal disorders are varied (structural, environmental, dietary), treatment is usually limited to drug therapies to reduce spasm, and restrictions in diet or surgery to reduce triggers and excess acid production. One holistic alternative is a combination of acupuncture and hypnosis, which has allowed many patients to reduce or eliminate dependence on medication, broaden their diets, and return to more normal gastric function.
Acupuncture restores essential balance while hypnosis allows a patient to learn to control intestinal function and decrease stress.
