Is acupuncture beneficial for people suffering with Inflammatory Bowel disease (IBD)?
There is now growing research supporting the potential benefits of acupuncture for IBD.
Some studies reported that acupuncture improved GI symptoms, including: abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, nausea, and alleviating inflammation.
Some clinical trials also found that following acupuncture the intestinal microbial composition changed closer to normal and the levels of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules were significantly reduced.
Further studies are needed to better define the benefit of acupuncture in IBD patients.
Healthcare continues to evolve toward less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, with acupuncture now becoming a first-line complementary healthcare choice.
Remember, the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.
