Yes. Acupuncture with herbs, and sometimes massage, can help with peptic ulcers. It will probably take between three to six months of treatment.
yes, and herbs. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
Acupuncture does help with peptic ulcers. Peptic ulcers have three differentiations in Chinese medicine. Please talk to your practitioner about the type you have. If you shall have any questions, please contact me at (562) 698-3008.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help to treat peptic ulcers. It is important to find a provider that can help you with diet, and herbal supplements as well. Acupuncture won't be enough to address your condition but the combination of Acupuncture and herbal medicine will provide optimum results.

Probably, yes... but you should go see a doctor and follow their advice with a bleeding condition like this. Rumor has it, and this is NOT intended as medical advice, that deglycerized licorice root helps heal the lining of the stomach. But make sure you are actually experiencing REAL ACUPUNCTURE! Anything less would be you not really trying this system of healing. Find a fully trained professional in Chinese medicine, possessing a master's degree AND 5+ years experience in this field. Medical Doctors, Osteopaths, Chiropractors, and even Physical Therapists (dry needling) are able to do what looks like acupuncture (but isn't) with a couple weekends of training or less. Buyer BEWARE!
Yes, acupuncture can help with ulcers but it will probably also require herbs and a change in your diet and stress management practices.
Acupuncture can sometimes help lower stomach acidity which can help deal with peptic ulcer. The question in this case is whether or not H. pylori is involved. H. pylori is a bacteria which can infect the stomach lining and case ulcer. If your ulcers are due to this bacteria, acupuncture alone isn't going to be enough, you're going to need antibiotics as well.
Since you have a diagnosis in hand, I'm going to assume you've been to your primary care physician or a GI specialist. You need to talk with them to see whether or not there's H. pylori involvement and what their treatment regimen looks like. Once you understand the risks and benefits of the conventional approach, you can talk to a few local acupuncturists and see whether or not Chinese medicine might have anything that it can add for you.
