• Acupuncture for IBS

Acupuncture is one of the oldest ways of chinese medicine. It works by inserting long needles to certain points in your body to to activate certain neuropathic pathways. It will release some hormones and endorphines that help with your body. If I think about it scienrifically, this might work if your body releases opiates which actually cause your bowel to slow its movements.

• Herbal remedies for IBS

Chinese herbal remedies are very popular when it comes to irritated bowel syndrome. Not too many western doctors want to have anything to do with an IBS diagnosis and it is normal to ignore the condition and try to find out something "real" that is wrong with you. Avoid these physicians and try to see someone who takes you for real.This is the type of natural treatment for IBS that I have found most useful. By using chinese herbs I actually lost my symptoms completely and today I am totally symptom free.
