**Ms. Beverly Lawrence** Acupuncturist Cottonwood, AZ · Accepted Answer

With Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), in which acupuncture is only one of the modalities we use, can treat almost everything that Western Medicine treats. For emergencies or life threatening conditions I suggest Western medicine first then TCM for recovery. So, the sort answer is yes. The long answer is that in TCM we look at the whole person and treat the underlying cause and not just the symptoms. Why do you have gastritis? Is it diet, emotions, lifestyle, or other causes. You may need to change your diet, lifestyle, or work on emotions, etc. For the treatment you may also need herbs as well as acupuncture. I give all my patients microcurrent with their treatment, sacred music, and sometimes essential oils. Each acupuncturist uses a mis of tools depending on the diagnosis and the underlying cause of the problem.

Yes. The Asian medicine system treats all different types of diseases more effectively than biomedicine or Western medicine. Acupuncture is one part of the medical system. Herbal formulas made for you specifically may be necessary to bring you back=20 into balance. Also your history of antibiotic usage may play a part, and other remedies would be used to heal your gut and restore your flora.

Acupuncture and herbs can be very beneficial for gastritis. You might also try taking probiotics and food enzymes. If the problem persists, I would recommend getting tested for food allergies, as well.

No, if you've been diagnosed with gastritis on endoscopy, you should limit caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, spicy and acidic foods, and be tested for H, Pylori. If symptoms do not resolve, you'll need to be on an acid-reducing medication.
