Digestion
One of the key systems for comprehensive health is digestive function. Besides digestive conditions such as irritable bowel, reflux and constipation, there are other conditions such as allergies, joint pain, fatigue, and illnesses that can all have roots in improper nutrient break down, absorption and elimination.

Diagnosis
We use Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine to evaluate digestive problems and toxification. Depending on the case we may employ a Digestive Stool Analysis and Food Allergy Testing.
Treatment
Herbs, acupuncture, nutritional supplements and dietary changes are wonderful tools to restore gastrointestinal function.
One basic protocol to restore digestive health is the 4R program:

Replace – with digestive enzymes, bile stimulants and hydrochloric acid
Repair - with nutrients and herbs to repair the gut mucosal lining
