Studying effect of acupuncture on gut lesions in people with IBS or Ulcerative Colitis.

What it feels like to have IBS or Ulcerative Colitis.

 
 

I love this image as a representation of what I’ve been told it feels like to have IBS or Ulcerative Colitis. In this research they looked at the effect on gut lesions on people who had either IBS or Ulcerative Colitis being treated with electro-acupuncture. The acupuncture was on just 1 point on the leg, Stomach 36. (This would be a major point used in clinic to treat both of these conditions.) Turns out that treating with just this 1 point improved the gut lesions in people who had either condition!
