acupuncture for digestive & dermatological issues
Including irritable bowl syndrome, constipation, bloating, GERD, food sensitivities, crohn’s, celiac, ulcerative colitis, etc.
Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese medicine recognizes the ‘brain gut connection’ and believes the digestive system is a vital part of overall health. At Nu Wave Acupuncture, a functional medicine approach to digestive health combines Chinese Medicine modalities, herbs, supplements, and labs (such as the GI MAP test), to get to the root cause of your digestive issues and restore balance and proper functioning to your entire system. Our digestive health is an entire microbiome that can influence the way we think, act and feel. This highly affects our skin health, presenting as acne, rosacea, dry skin, psoriasis, eczema, etc. Typically, the best way to treat the skin is by treating the gut simultaneously. At Nu Wave, Cosmetic Acupuncture sessions are best for treating dermatological disorders mostly affecting the face, such as facial acne, psoriasis, eczema, etc.
How acupuncture can help:
Modulates the autonomic nervous system, which plays a role in regulating gut motility (movement) and digestion.
Provides anti-inflammatory effects, which helps all digestive disorders with an inflammatory component.
Reduces stress to relax the intestinal muscles and benefit digestive health.
Helps the enteric nervous system, often referred to as the "second brain" due to its role in digestion and connection to brain health, function properly.
