Good day,

Thank you for your email.
Acupuncture can help with indigestion by resetting the flow in the esophagus. It is not necessarily the food that is the trigger, but it is the "flow" and peristalsis of the esophagus. The coordinating of the doors or flaps between the stomach and small intestine, liver and gallbladder can be "reset' with the acupuncture needles in the specific acu-points.
Additionally, there are several exceptional Chinese herbal formulas that can be taken for a short period of time to help assist the digestive process.

I hope this helps.

Good day,

Thanks for your question. Acupuncture is a stand alone treatment. It can be used to treat any imbalance in the body from shortening the duration of a cold or flu to treating infertility.

Acupuncture (along with herbs) can be a very effective treatment ti increase blood flow to the uterus. This helps with a better shedding of the lining during the period and strengthens the lining of the uterus so that an egg can attach more easily. It helps to boost immunity and stimulate the Fallopian tubes. It is an important tool for regulating irregular periods, treating PCOS and fibroids and assists in the overall function of the reproductive system in both women and men!


I hope this helps.

Yes, both could be very helpful. Electro-stimulation acupuncture would be particularly helpful in your case as long as you do not have any contraindications such as epilepsy or a pace maker. I would recommend at least 6 treatments to get an idea as to its efficacy.
