Tragically, very little is often talked about Acupuncture and herbal medicine as viable treatment for ulcerative colitis. Specifically prescribed herbs can: reduce swelling and inflammation of the bowels, deliver anti-biotic effect to treat potential infection, promote normal digestion and absorption of nutrients, relieve diarrhea, alleviate abdominal spasms and cramping, and eliminate irritating toxins.
Within 3 months of treatment patients can expect to see a reduction in diarrhea, pus, blood, pain and cramping. Acupuncture points along the Small Intestine and Large Intestine meridians can calm an over active digestive system that is inflamed. This form of medicine has been in use for over 2,000 years and should be considered as a conjunctive treatment to western medicine.
