The Treatment of IBS in Traditional Chinese Medicine Traditional Chinese Medicine uses acupuncture to remove dampness and heat from within the system by selecting certain acupuncture points along the meridians of the stomach and large intestine, most of which are located along the lateral side of the legs and arms. This causes IBS symptoms to dissipate. At the same time, reinforcement techniques can be used to strengthen the body's immune system, while reducing techniques can relieve stress, thereby preventing future exacerbation of the disorder. Another important component of treatment is the Chinese herbal formula. In Chinese herbology, a group of herbs is combined to specifically address a person's unique constitution. This is one way in which treatment is very individualized: a board-certified master herbalist will treat no two patients with the same combination of herbs. Most herbalists use a "classical formula" as a foundation. Many classical formulas, written up to 2, 000 years ago, are still commonly used today. Groups of herbs can be added or subtracted from classical formulas to customize them for patients.
