By Matthew Enright AP, DOM (AP1711) – Palm Beach Gardens, Florida – Acupuncture and Digestion. Today, 70 million Americans suffer from issues stemming from digestive anomalies. These issues put patients at the risk of allergies, dementia, acne, autoimmune diseases, fatigue, physiological illnesses and arthritis.
For any one person to stay healthy, they must keep their digestive system operating at an optimal level. In the US, this is difficult to do because we are surrounded by all kinds of processed foods, and these contain plenty of chemicals that don’t exist in organic dishes. Stress also causes digestive problems.
The only way to keep your digestive system clean and healthy is to take the right food at the right time. Three quarters of our immune cells are found in the digestive system, so it is important to keep it operating optimally. Our Palm Beach Gardens Acupuncture clinic doctors usually stress upon the importance of keeping your digestive system clean and strong.
What leads to digestive imbalance?
- Stress
- Poor diet
- Medicines
- Bugs, parasites, and yeast
- Low levels of HCL and digestive enzymes
The gut runs one of the most important systems in the body. It is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing it and extracting nutrients from digested matter. It therefore must always be kept healthy.
The average American faces a lot of conditions that come about as a result of an unhealthy digestive system. They include bloating, constipation, reflux, diarrhea, heartburn and constipation. These are relatively mild issues, but more complex problems such as Crohn’s Disease, IBS and Ulcerative Colitis could manifest.
Here at our Palm Beach Gardens location, we have noticed that patients with unhealthy digestive systems feel a lot better when we address the root cause of their issue, then put them on a treatment plan consisting of acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal regimens.
Here is what we have managed to effectively treat –
- Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth – SIBO
- Leaky Gut Syndrome
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome – IBS

It is important to understand that digestion plays a huge part in our day-to-day health. A poor digestive system is a recipe for disaster. Here at the Palm Beach Gardens Clinic, we believe that digestive problems should be handled as soon as the first symptoms arise.
