GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS – Acid Reflux

April 4, 2008
After attending an acupuncture seminar given by Dr. Jin, I made an appointment with him. At only 24 years old, I was on 4 pharmaceutical drugs, and was very concerned about my future. I was taking medication for Acid Reflux, I was determined to eliminate some if not all of the conditions I was experiencing. I went for acupuncture treatments two times a week for several months, made the dietary modifications recommended, took the recommended herbal formulas, and 4 months later, I am now taking only one prescription medication for my acid reflux. My periods are much less painful, and I rarely, if ever, get headaches anymore. I am feeling so much more balanced and relieved to have reduced my dependency on prescription drugs. My acid reflux problem has been reduced by about 90% and I feel that acupuncture helped break the cycle of needing higher and higher doses of prescription antacids. Acupuncture treatments also had a great stress-relieving and uplifting effect on me. I often noticed as I was driving home from my treatments a sense of being relaxed and uplifted. I find great comfort in knowing that I have a natural method of keeping myself physically and mentally healthy, now, and for the future.  ~H. T.
