Digestive

I have always had a nervous stomach.  Some people get headaches, I get stomach aches.  It’s always worse with stress and eases up on the weekends when I can relax.  I did not think of getting treatment until I stumbled on an article saying how acupuncture was excellent for treating stomach pain.  I went to Raleigh Acupuncture and described my condition.  They explained why my stomach hurt.  It totally made sense to me.  It’s all about internal balance.  So they went to work on me to get my stomach balanced.  And I’m pleased to say that it worked.  I no longer have a nervous stomach and stomach pain, even in stressful situations.  I’ve made some changes to my diet, based on their recommendations, and took chinese herbs for a while, but don’t need to take them now.  I’m convinced that I would have lived with stomach pain for the rest of my life had it not been for acupuncture.

I came down with an unbelievable case of diarrhea that lasted more than four weeks.  I was getting severely dehydrated and was exhausted.  My doctor said there was nothing wrong with me, that it was probably due to stress.  The only thing stressing me out was the diarrhea!  I was really starting to get scared, thinking I had contracted some terrible disease.  I went to acupuncture and they immediately said there was a problem with my stomach and intestines, but that it wasn’t dangerous and it was treatable.  They treated me with acupuncture and a heat herb that warmed up my stomach.  I felt better immediately, and within a few weeks the diarrhea was completely gone.  I am very grateful to Raleigh Acupuncture for knowing what was wrong with me and treating my condition so quickly.

About six months ago I starting getting debilitating fatigue, to the point where I could not exercise and had to drag myself through the day at work.  The doctors said it must be stress, because there was nothing wrong with me.  But when I went to Raleigh Acupuncture, they said that my digestion was weak.  They said I was not getting proper energy from the food I was eating, so they treated my digestive system.  I was amazed to see my energy increase after the treatments.  Within 10 treatments I was back to my old self, exercising again and working through the day no problem.  And as a side benefit, I started losing weight.  They said this was related to my improved digestive function.  Now my friends want to go because they see my energy back and see me losing weight!
