Treatable Conditions

Digestive Problems
Digestive issues such as GERD, gastritis, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can affect daily life, making even simple activities challenging. At Han’s Clinic, we take a holistic, natural approach based on Eastern medicine to support digestive health by addressing underlying imbalances.

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)

What Causes GERD?
GERD occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, leading to symptoms such as heartburn, chest discomfort, and a sore throat. Potential causes include:
  • Weakness in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)
  • Poor digestion, leading to increased stomach pressure
  • Stress or dietary triggers affecting acid production

Gastritis

What Causes Gastritis?
Gastritis occurs when the stomach lining becomes inflamed. Common contributing factors include:
  • Excess stomach acid due to stress, spicy or fatty foods, or irregular eating habits
  • H. pylori infection or frequent use of certain medications
  • Alcohol consumption and other lifestyle factors

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

What Causes IBS?
IBS is influenced by a combination of factors, including:
  • Stress and its effects on the gut-brain connection
  • Digestive imbalances, such as irregular gut motility or sensitivity
  • Dietary triggers and gut microbiome imbalances

How Eastern Medicine Supports Digestive Health

At Han’s Clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to digestive health, aiming to restore balance naturally
  • Herbal Medicine: Customized herbal formulas support digestion, regulate stomach acid, and reduce inflammation. Some formulas may include herbs such as Ginseng and White Atractylodes Root, which have been traditionally used to help balance the stomach, soothe irritation, and support nutrient absorption.
  • Acupuncture: Acupuncture targets specific points along digestive meridians, promoting circulation to the stomach and intestines. This approach aims to support digestive function, relieve bloating, and ease abdominal discomfort. Additionally, acupuncture has been studied for its ability to regulate the autonomic nervous system, which may help individuals experiencing stress-related digestive issues.
  • Important Notice: Herbal medicine and medical therapies should be used under the guidance of a licensed practitioner. Self-prescribing herbal remedies or using medical devices without professional supervision may lead to unintended effects. Always consult a qualified Eastern medicine practitioner for a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan.
