WHAT CAUSES GI ISSUES?

GI Issues have a few main causes.  A big one is stress.  Under stress, many tighten their abdominal muscles as a coping mechanism.  It doesn't actually help us with the stressful event.  Actually over time this tight abdomen begins to reduce the circulation of the underlying stomach and large and small intestine.  When circulation is reduced, loss of function follows.  When there is loss of function, inflammation can be close behind.  The combination of reduced circulation, loss of function and inflammation snowball when combined.  The organs that are supposed to be nourishing us are causing us a lot of discomfort and pain.  

HOW DO YOU TREAT GI ISSUES?

We stimulate nerves with travel to or near the digestive organs.  This stimulation raises function. We also use herbs which gently adjust circulation and reduce inflammation without the toxicity on the liver (and kidney) which prolonged use of medications such as PPI can do.  We also discuss diet, exercise and stress responses with the client so they are empowered and better equipped to keep these disorders at bay on their own.

ARE HERBAL FORMULAS SAFE?

I only use the two safest brands of herbs.  Golden Flower and Evergreen herbs.  These herbs are tested for Bacteria, toxins, mold etc.  Herbal medicine is not at all akin to supplements.  There is no one prescription for all.  The formula for one client's reflux is likely not the same as the formula another may be taking for a similar issue.  Herbal Medicine works by getting to the root of the issue and most of the time will not be needed to be taken continuously.
