Get Instant Relief on Abdominal Bloating!
A buildup of gas in the stomach and intestines is known as abdominal bloating or distension. Bloating episodes can affect the pancreas, liver, spleen and kidneys, thereby impacting the digestive processes.
Low stomach acid and/or stomach enzymes are a common cause. Either condition impairs the digestion of proteins, with the subsequent slowing of protein movement out of the stomach into the intestines.
Undigested protein reaching the intestines undergoes putrefaction, which produces the abdominal bloating. Also produced are toxic end products, which can cause constipation, and histamines, which can cause hives and other allergic reactions.
Bloating often is caused by stress, smoking, or eating high-fat foods in excess. Change in habit or lifestyle will directly eliminate the distress here.
Acupuncture acts to balance and revive healthy organ function, thereby improving the overall digestive process. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, acupuncture also can directly reduce bloating.
