Austin Acupuncturist connects Digestion and the Skin

In Austin Texas our acupuncture patients often ask us to explain how our treatment wil work for their condition. I love to explain how acupuncture moves and regulates the flow of life giving Qi around their body, returning them to balance. Lately I have been blessed with many new patients that have a GI in-balance like IBS, gastritis or even Ulcerative Colitis. Each of these in-balances are serious, uncomfortable and cause the patients increased stress levels which in turn worsen the condition. These patients also have a skin condition like eczema, acne, or dermatitis. And what is fascinating is that as their digestive system improves so does their skin. The connection is elimination. The bowel, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin are all organs of elimination and when one is compromised the skin usually takes over the elimination role. So rashes and other forms of dermatitis, even acne become visible or worse. As we improve the function of the bowel, the eliminatory function of the skin lessens and the toxins are re-directed back to the intestine and eliminated in the stool. The skin returns to health and the visible symptoms lessen daily until perfect.
