Struggling with Irregular Bowel Movements? Try These TCM Remedies Alongside Acupuncture

Constipation, bloating, and irregular bowel movements can disrupt your daily routine and leave you feeling sluggish. While acupuncture is a proven method for restoring digestive balance, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) also offers additional remedies to enhance gut health.

At Alternative Health Care Concepts, we provide acupuncture in Burbank to help improve digestion, relieve discomfort, and restore regularity. Alongside acupuncture, TCM incorporates herbs, dietary therapy, and lifestyle changes to support overall wellness.

TCM Remedies for Digestive Health

Herbal Medicine for Constipation

✔ Ma Zi Ren Wan: A classic TCM formula that softens the stool and promotes bowel movements.
✔ Huo Ma Ren (Hemp Seeds): Helps lubricate the intestines and relieve dry stool constipation.

Dietary Therapy for Better Digestion

✔ Eat warm, easily digestible foods like soups, congee, and steamed vegetables.
✔ Drink herbal teas that promote gut motility, such as ginger and licorice tea.

Abdominal Massage & Acupressure

✔ Stimulating the Large Intestine meridian with light massage can encourage movement and relieve bloating.
✔ Many patients receiving acupuncture in Toluca Lake combine these remedies with regular treatments for maximum effectiveness.

Healing Herbal Tea Recipe for Digestion

✔ 1 teaspoon dried licorice root
