Digestive Disorders
Which type of digestive disorder can be treated with Oriental Medicine?
Throughout its 5000 year old history, Oriental Medicine has been treating digestive disorders with great success. Some of the most common digestive disorders treated in our clinic are weight gain, distention, abnormal bowel movement, hernias and ulcers, acid reflux disorder, indigestion, and chronic fatigue.
Why is good digestion so important?
Most people have heard the saying, “we are what we eat”. In Oriental Medicine, we believe that the digestion is the source of most of our sickness. Most children exhibit symptoms related to indigestion due to a weaker digestive system. Many adult disorders are also due to indigestion as a result of our childhood. In Oriental Medicine, we talk about food as one of the three essential energies. The other two energies are air and emotion. If the food we eat is harmonious with our system, than we can overcome almost any sickness.
How are digestive treatments carried out?
In China, dating back about 2500 years ago, there lived a man named Lee Dong Yuan. Dr. Lee published a book of very detailed herbal formulas for a variety of disorders. Each one of these formulas were focused on strengthening the digestive system. Today, among many of great teachings, we still use these herbal formulas to treat a variety of disorders. Acupuncture is another way in which we treat digestive disorders. With acupuncture, we choose points located along energy channels which help enhance and harmonize the digestion.
