Stop suffering in silence! Fight back with a medicine that seeks to find the root cause of your illness and treat your whole body instead of just covering up symptoms. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine has been treating all kinds of digestive disorders for thousands of years. It is a system of medicine that involves treating the whole person—mind, body and spirit—with acupuncture, nutritional medicine, and herbal therapy.

Acupuncture improves the body functions of digestion, absorption and metabolism. It not only reduces ulcers and neutralizes excessive stomach acid, but calms abdominal distention—all common symptoms of IBS and colitis. Acupuncture even addresses overeating and sugar addictions!

So what’s next? Acupuncture isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment. At Ritual Medicine we’ll discuss your diet, lifestyle and eating habits to determine what’s contributing to your digestive issues. Your sessions with the practitioner will combine treatments of acupuncture and nutritional counselling. Herbal medicine may be prescribed to manage symptoms and help reduce the amount of medication you may be taking.

It can be wonderfully empowering for a patient to not only feel better and experience better digestion from acupuncture treatments, but also feel he or she has more control over how to stay healthy.
