Digestive Issues
Digestive and gastrointestinal health affects our entire body, from the inside out— from the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems to the skin. The GI tract not only digests and absorbs nutrients; it is also closely aligned with the function of our immune system.
Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine (WS-TCM) is uniquely effective in treating gastrointestinal issues because it addresses the complex network of digestive health, helping to heal chronic conditions that result in heartburn and acid reflux, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and food allergies.
These are all digestive symptoms that often point to more serious problems with the underlying mechanisms that cause the continued distress. Beyond these obvious symptoms, imbalances in the gut can actually have wide ranging impact on the rest of our body, resulting in a wide array of health problems.
WS-TCM is a powerful tool in addressing these health problems because we work to identify the underlying causes and treat them— not merely the symptoms.
“Cholena Erickson changed my life. For over two years I struggled with severe bacterial infections in my body, with no relief from traditional medicine. Cholena is not only a fantastic acupuncturist but also very knowledgeable in gut biology and treating symptoms, not just masking them. I wish all health care providers were as a listeners as Cholena is.”
